If your application requires a geographic
map as a background, you can install a map renderer that uses the
Rogue Wave® JViews Maps facilities to read map formats—vector or
raster—and to display nodes according to their latitude and
longitude.
You can instead add a vector or a bitmap
background that is not a map. You can use Composer, a graphics
editor provided with JViews Diagrammer, to draw your vector
background. Composer saves to the JViews proprietary IVL format or
to SVG format. Other authoring tools that create bitmaps or SVG
images can also be used.
