#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   input #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is a field 
whose data dependency on one component is to be changed to 
dependency on another component. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   dependency #!EF 
#!EF #!I50 #!N is the output dependency desired and must be 
"positions" or "connections." #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N If you are 
changing the dependency from "positions" to "connections," all components that are 
dependent on "positions" (but do not contain references to that or 
any other component, such as colors, data, and normals) are changed 
to "connections" dependency. The Post module uses an average of the 
vertex values for each connection element to determine the new value 
for the component. #!N #!N Similarly, when changing from connection dependence 
to position dependence, the Post module associates with a vertex the 
average of the values for each connection touching that vertex. #!N 
#!N Components #!N #!N Creates a new component for each input 
component that is either dependent on connections if  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   dependency #!EF 
is "positions" or that is dependent on positions if the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
dependency #!EF is "connections." The dependencies of the new components are 
set to  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   dependency #!EF . #!N #!N Example Visual Programs
