Initial Information Packets (IIPs)


These are shown on the diagram as long, shallow rectangles with rounded corners.  The length of the rectangle is adjusted to match the length of the contents.

Right clicking on an IIP brings up a popup menu showing operations that can be performed on it.These are the following:

An IIP can be connected to a process by an arrow - see the section on Arrows - but the arrow will be displayed without an arrowhead. Any arrow connecting an IIP to a process should start from the IIP, to ensure accurate display. DrawFBP will allow you to draw this connection in the other direction, however the display may look a bit strange as DrawFBP will try to swap the ends.
