The connection object on success, NULL on failure.

DESCRIPTION

The connection object provides a mechanism for visually linking two objects. It is used in cantata to connect glyph objects together, but can be used to connect any two objects. A line will be drawn between the two objects; the line will resize and redraw if either of the two objects are moved. Several styles of connections are provided, which can be used to change the appearance of the connection.
