Symbols are moving objects on top of a background map. You should 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. You can then select which symbols should represent your model.

The Symbol Editor for JViews Diagrammer provides a way to design your own set of rich symbols. Symbols can be nested to reuse simpler symbols within more complex ones. Style rules are bundled within symbols and the symbols themselves are grouped into palettes.
