Node layout
Link layout
Label layout
Layers
Background support
Filtering
Accepted and excluded classes
Setting the list of origins
Node factory
Link factory
Expansion strategy

Please refer to the Network Component Services in the Graphic Components documentation for more information on these services.

The following services show some differences in the network faces component:

Interacting with the network view
Zooming

These differences are described below.

Interacting with the Network View

JViews TGO network faces interactors are declared in the JSP file. This is required to specify how the web browser will react to user input; some interactions being executed directly on the client side while others are submitted to and executed on the server.

View interactors cannot be purely declared in the CSS file (as is the case for the Swing network component). Instead, they have to be declared together with the selectInteractor tag. Please refer to Configuring the selectInteractor for details on how to set a specific view interactor as the listener of a selectInteractor.

Zooming

Although all three zooming modes (physical zoom, logical zoom and mixed zoom) are supported in the Faces Network component, some thresholds are affected by some of its specific settings, like zoomFactor, zoomLevels, minZoomLevel, or maxZoomLevel.
