The use of a background map and symbols that can be moved in real time across the map, and which can be panned, zoomed and so on, provide advanced map animation features.
There are graphics editing facilities provided by the Symbol Editor for JViews Diagrammer to help you create your own custom symbols, see Using the Symbol Editor.
Modern applications often require large map data sets as satellite and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) views or exhaustive transportation networks to realistically depict situations.
JViews Maps is optimized to efficiently handle such large data sets to provide video-like performance while minimizing memory requirements.
For example, by leveraging load-on-demand and dynamic data subsampling, the memory footprint is minimized, even though the data contains millions of objects. Display performance is based on disk and RAM caching as well as advanced quadtree rendering and automated clipping and tiling. This performance not only provides a better experience for the user, but also saves processing time for other application CPU intensive tasks.
You will be impressed by the reactivity of the interactive zooming and panning, the storage and navigation facilities for areas of interest, and the map rotation capability for GPS-like application development.
JViews Maps leverages the rule-based presentation layer of JViews Diagrammer to update the appearance and position of assets when underlying application data, such as status or positions, evolve. You can create your own symbology and manipulate vector, raster, and complex objects. Symbols support hierarchical logical grouping. See the JViews Diagrammer document Using the Symbol Editor for details of how to create your own symbols.
