Loading a group defined in XML
All you have to do is create a data source using the data source default implementation defined by IltDefaultDataSource and pass the XML file to the parse method of the data source, as shown below.
 
dataSource = new IltDefaultDataSource();
dataSource.parse("GroupXMLFile.xml");
For detailed information about data sources, see Data sources.
How to define a group in XML
The following is an example of a group defined in XML format. For details about the XML elements used in this example, see Elements in an XML data file .
Depending on the group class, the shape of a group is defined either by IlpPolygon, IlpRect, or IlpPolyline. See Group shapes for details.
