This presentation is a mix of slides covering the different ways …

The focus of this screencast is an introduction to the Visual Library API, building on top of Part 8, which created a scenario where it makes sense to use the Visual Library API: the user will be able to drag items from a Palette and, when the item is dropped, a widget is created. Some features are added to the widget, such as a MoveAction, and to the scene, such as a ZoomAction.

Part 8 begins with a recap of the previous parts, followed by a demo where we prepare ourselves for the next screencast, which will focus on the Visual Library API. To get to a point where we can meaningfully use that API, we construct two layers of nodes which we display in a Palette. Then we add drag and drop behavior so that the palette components can be dragged into the window with which it is associated.
