Parameters:
reference - The reference Point in absolute coordinates
Returns:
The anchor's location

getOwner

public IFigure getOwner()
Returns the IFigure that contains this ConnectionAnchor. Moving this figure will cause the anchor to move with it.

Returns:
The IFigure that contains this ConnectionAnchor

getReferencePoint

public Point getReferencePoint()
Returns the reference point for this anchor in absolute coordinates. This might be used by another anchor to determine its own location (i.e. ChopboxAnchor).

Returns:
The reference Point

removeAnchorListener
