Symbols are moving objects on top of a
background map.
You should use the Map Builder to create a map, and then load the
map into the Designer for JViews Diagrammer and add
nodes or links to the model. You can then select which symbols
should represent your model. If your symbols are all known at
design time, you can also prepare and specify them in the Map
Builder. In this case, you should not use the Designer.
The Symbol Editor for JViews Diagrammer provides
a way to design your own set of rich symbols. Symbols can be
nested to reuse simpler symbols within more complex ones. Style
rules are bundled within symbols and the symbols themselves are
grouped into palettes.
