Symbols

 INDEX Gray bullet PREVIOUS NEXT

Symbols are moving objects on top of a map background, usually achieved using JViews Diagrammer technology in the form of composite graphics. You cannot add symbols to a map using the Map Builder, however you can use the Map Builder to create a map, and then load the map into the Designer for JViews Diagrammer and add nodes or links to the model.

To do this:

  1. Edit the map with the Map Builder and then save it.
  2. Open Designer, use the map as the backdrop and add nodes or links to the model.
  3. Use the Symbol Editor to choose or design the symbols that you want to represent the nodes or links and then save the whole as a diagrammer project.
  4. Load the diagrammer project in your application.
