The Dashboard Editor sample

For a complete example of how to program a dashboard diagram, see the source code of the Dashboard Editor sample in:
<installdir>/jviews-diagrammer810/samples/dashboard/dashboardeditor/src/DashboardEditor.java
In the Dashboard Editor, an IlvDashboardDiagram is viewed and edited in an IlvDashboardEditorFrame object. An IlvDashboardDiagram object is a Swing component that displays a dashboard diagram composed of background objects and symbols. An IlvDashboardEditorFrame object displays multiple IlvDashboardDiagram instances and handles the palettes in which symbols are stored.
The IlvDashboardDiagram is derived from the IlvDiagrammer class. It uses dashboard-specific interactors, palettes, and style sheets.
