AnimatTools Plug-in

Plug-in Description

Figure 1. The default nodes available for the animat tools plug-in module.

This plug-in module contains nodes that allow you to perform basic operations in the behavioral editor. This includes things like adding graphics and text to your diagrams, connecting nodes in one diagram to nodes in other diagrams, connecting nodes in one module to nodes in other modules, and adding subsystems. Below is a list of the nodes available in this module. You can also click on a node in figure 1 to see the description for that item. However, the adapter node is a part of this module but it is not something that users can add manually. So it does not show up in the toolbox.

1.	Adpater
	This is a standard interface that connects a node in one neural module to a node in another module.
2.	Graphical Item
	This item allows you to add graphics to your diagrams.
3.	Off-page Connector
	You can use this node to connect nodes in one diagram with nodes on other diagrams. This allows you to connect nodes between subsystems.
4.	Neural Subsystem
	The node creates a hierarchal subsystem node. You can use this to create nested diagrams.
5.	Text Edit Box
	Use this node to add text to your diagram.
