	<brief_description>
		An editor for graph-like structures, using [GraphNode]s.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		[GraphEdit] provides tools for creation, manipulation, and display of various graphs. Its main purpose in the engine is to power the visual programming systems, such as visual shaders, but it is also available for use in user projects.
		[GraphEdit] by itself is only an empty container, representing an infinite grid where [GraphNode]s can be placed. Each [GraphNode] represents a node in the graph, a single unit of data in the connected scheme. [GraphEdit], in turn, helps to control various interactions with nodes and between nodes. When the user attempts to connect, disconnect, or close a [GraphNode], a signal is emitted in the [GraphEdit], but no action is taken by default. It is the responsibility of the programmer utilizing this control to implement the necessary logic to determine how each request should be handled.
		[b]Performance:[/b] It is greatly advised to enable low-processor usage mode (see [member OS.low_processor_usage_mode]) when using GraphEdits.

			<return type="PackedVector2Array" />
			<param index="0" name="from_position" type="Vector2" />
			<param index="1" name="to_position" type="Vector2" />
			<description>
				Virtual method which can be overridden to customize how connections are drawn.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_is_in_input_hotzone" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="in_node" type="Object" />
			<param index="1" name="in_port" type="int" />
			<param index="2" name="mouse_position" type="Vector2" />
			<description>
				Returns whether the [param mouse_position] is in the input hot zone.
				By default, a hot zone is a [Rect2] positioned such that its center is at [param in_node].[method GraphNode.get_connection_input_position]([param in_port]) (For output's case, call [method GraphNode.get_connection_output_position] instead). The hot zone's width is twice the Theme Property [code]port_grab_distance_horizontal[/code], and its height is twice the [code]port_grab_distance_vertical[/code].
				Below is a sample code to help get started:
				[codeblock]
				func _is_in_input_hotzone(in_node, in_port, mouse_position):
				    var port_size: Vector2 = Vector2(get_theme_constant("port_grab_distance_horizontal"), get_theme_constant("port_grab_distance_vertical"))
				    var port_pos: Vector2 = in_node.get_position() + in_node.get_connection_input_position(in_port) - port_size / 2
				    var rect = Rect2(port_pos, port_size)

				    return rect.has_point(mouse_position)
				[/codeblock]

		<method name="_is_node_hover_valid" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="from_node" type="StringName" />
			<param index="1" name="from_port" type="int" />

			<description>
				This virtual method can be used to insert additional error detection while the user is dragging a connection over a valid port.
				Return [code]true[/code] if the connection is indeed valid or return [code]false[/code] if the connection is impossible. If the connection is impossible, no snapping to the port and thus no connection request to that port will happen.
				In this example a connection to same node is suppressed:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				func _is_node_hover_valid(from, from_port, to, to_port):
				    return from != to
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				public override bool _IsNodeHoverValid(StringName fromNode, int fromPort, StringName toNode, int toPort)
				{
				    return fromNode != toNode;
				}
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
