Method Detail

createPointAttachment

PointAttachment createPointAttachment(Point pnt)

Returns a PointAttachment that attaches pnt to this component. It should not be assumed that pnt is currently connected to the component hierarchy, and no attempt should be made to connect the returned attachment to the hierarchy; the latter, if desired, is the responsibility of the caller.

In some cases, it may not be possible to attach the point at its present location. In that case, the method will create an attachment to the nearest feasible location.

Parameters:

pnt - point for which an attachment should be created

Returns:

attachment connecting pnt to this component
