		GraphEdit is an area capable of showing various GraphNodes. It manages connection events between them.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		GraphEdit manages the showing of GraphNodes it contains, as well as connections and disconnections between them. Signals are sent for each of these two events. Disconnection between GraphNode slots is disabled by default.
		It is greatly advised to enable low-processor usage mode (see [member OS.low_processor_usage_mode]) when using GraphEdits.

			<return type="PackedVector2Array" />
			<argument index="0" name="from" type="Vector2" />
			<argument index="1" name="to" type="Vector2" />
			<description>
				Virtual method which can be overridden to customize how connections are drawn.
			</description>

			<return type="bool" />
			<argument index="0" name="graph_node" type="Object" />
			<argument index="1" name="slot_index" type="int" />
			<argument index="2" name="mouse_position" type="Vector2" />
			<description>
				Returns whether the [code]mouse_position[/code] is in the input hot zone.
				By default, a hot zone is a [Rect2] positioned such that its center is at [code]graph_node[/code].[method GraphNode.get_connection_input_position]([code]slot_index[/code]) (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(graph_node, slot_index, mouse_position):
				    var slot_size : Vector2 = Vector2(get_theme_constant("port_grab_distance_horizontal"), get_theme_constant("port_grab_distance_vertical"))
				    var slot_pos : Vector2 = graph_node.get_position() + graph_node.get_connection_input_position(slot_index) - slot_size / 2
				    var rect = Rect2(slot_pos, slot_size)

				    return rect.has_point(mouse_position)
				[/codeblock]
