For basic information about components see Chapter 26, Components.
In the palette of components of the Graph Editor, all components are divided into following groups: Readers, Writers, Transformers, Joiners, and Others. We will describe each group step by step.
One more category is called Deprecated. It should not be used any more and we will not describe them.
So far we have talked about how to paste components to graphs. We will now discuss the properties of components and the manner of configuring them. You can configure the properties of any graph component in the following way:
You can simply double-click the component in the Graph Editor.
You can do it by clicking the component and/or its item in the Outline pane and editing the items in the Properties tab.
You can select the component item in the Outline pane and press Enter.
You can also open the context menu by right-clicking the component in the Graph Editor and/or in the Outline pane. Then you can select the item from the context menu and edit the items in the Edit component wizard.
