Making A Simple Status Indicator

 INDEX Gray bullet PREVIOUS NEXT

To create a simple status indicator, do the following:

  1. In the Symbol Editor, create a new symbol. For more information, see Making a New Symbol.
  2. Navigate to the following directory:
    3. <installdir>/jviews-diagrammer81/bin/symboleditor/data/examples
  3. Import light.svg. The SVG image creates an object SVG. For more information, see Importing a Vector Graphic.
  4. Delete the Text and Shape objects. SVG is now the base object.
  5. Ungroup the SVG object.
  6. Create an Integer parameter statusvalue, with three allowed values: good, warning and problem. For more details, see Setting Allowed Values for a Parameter.
  7. Select the GeneralPath8 object.
