Certain embodiments provide for placing blocks based on a selection of blocks and a mapping definition.
Claims (18)
1. A system including:
a trading device including a display, wherein the trading device is configured to:
display a visual programming design canvas area of a graphical user interface for a visual programming language, wherein the visual programming design canvas area includes an arrangement of a plurality of placed blocks, wherein the arrangement of the plurality of placed blocks includes connections between outputs and inputs of blocks in the plurality of placed blocks, wherein the connections indicate how output values/events are provided to corresponding inputs when the output values/events are generated to communicate data;
receive a selection of blocks through the graphical user interface for the visual programming language provided by a user input device coupled to the trading device, wherein the selection of blocks includes a plurality of selected blocks of the plurality of placed blocks in the visual programming design canvas area, wherein the plurality of selected blocks are in a selected arrangement, wherein the selected arrangement is based on the connections between the outputs and inputs of the selected blocks in the plurality of selected blocks, wherein each block in the selection of blocks has a block type;
receive a command to activate a block placing tool through the graphical user interface for the visual programming language; and
iterate, in response to receiving the command to activate the block placing tool, over each selected block in the selection of blocks and for the selected block being traversed:
determine whether the block type of the selected block conforms to a mapping in a mapping definition, wherein the mapping definition includes at least one mapping, wherein each mapping in the mapping definition specifies a relationship between a first type and a corresponding second type, wherein the first type includes a first block type, wherein the second type includes a second block type;
determine a new block type, wherein the new block type is the corresponding block type specified in the mapping when the block type of the selected block conforms to the mapping and the new block type is the block type of the selected block when the block type of the selected block does not conform to a mapping in the mapping definition; and
place a new block of the determined new block type in the visual programming design canvas area as part of a new arrangement, wherein the new arrangement is a modified copy of the selected arrangement of the plurality of selected blocks.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the selection of blocks includes all blocks placed in the visual programming design canvas area prior to placing a new block.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the selection of blocks is one of: (i) determined by a user and (ii) automatically determined.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mapping definition is one of: (i) pre-defined; (ii) determined by a user; and (iii) automatically determined.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first type includes a first attribute and the second type includes a second attribute for at least one mapping in the mapping definition.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second type is a reverse of the first type.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mapping definition is determined before the selection of blocks is received.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the selection of blocks and the mapping definition are received as part of the command to activate the block placing tool.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the selection of blocks is received before the command to activate the block placing tool is received.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mapping definition is received as part of the command to activate the block placing tool.
