The grapher is a Java™
class responsible for storing and managing the graphics objects
that are displayed by JViews Diagrammer. The grapher not only
manages nodes and links; it also manages any graphics objects used
to display a background and any decorations around the diagram like
a legend.
The grapher can contain hundreds of
thousands of graphics, and yet refresh them instantly. Its spatial
data structure is optimized to retrieve the graphic objects located
in an area rapidly.
The grapher belongs to Rogue Wave® JViews Framework, and a
comprehensive API is available to finely tune its behavior.
The graphical objects contained in the grapher are drawn in the views
connected to the grapher. The user of your application can zoom and
pan in the views, and can interact with the objects in the views
using the mouse.
