Using the Overview pane

IlvDashboardDiagram inherits from IlvDiagrammer. You can use standard Diagrammer panes to control objects in a dashboard diagram. The Dashboard Editor uses IlvDiagrammerOverview to display a reduced view of a dashboard diagram. You can use it with the zoom facility of a diagram component to control which part of a large diagram is visible.

The following code example shows how to add an IlvDiagrammerOverview to a dashboard application.

URL url = IlvDiagrammerOverview.class.getResource("images/overview.gif");
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
IlvDiagrammerOverview overview = new IlvDiagrammerOverview();

IlvDashboardExpandablePane overviewFrame = new IlvDashboardExpandablePane("Overview", icon, overview);
