Subnetworks

Subnetworks allow you to create applications that display a network inside another network. They are created automatically by the ILOG JViews TGO network component when you define a containment relationship between objects in the data source.

A subnetwork can be defined as a node object with child objects in a network component. It can be displayed either collapsed or expanded.

In the collapsed state, the subnetwork is represented as a single object.

Figure 7.1 Collapsed Subnetwork

In the expanded state, the subnetwork is displayed with all the objects contained in it.
