What is a Flow diagram box

A Flow diagram box is a Box which includes a Flow diagram.

Warning

In previous versions, Flow diagram boxes could embed a script, but this feature is now deprecated and will be removed soon.

Creating a Flow diagram box can be useful to encapsulate other boxes into a unique behavior.

A Flow diagram box may contain boxes which in turn may also contain boxes. And all these boxes can be connected to each other, thus creating a complex and structured behavior.

This enables you to organize your behavior with several levels, each level corresponding to the diagram of a box.
