Symbols are moving objects on top of a background map.
JViews Maps for Defense includes the
APP-6a symbol library that conforms to NATO symbology.
These are predefined military symbols that you can use as is, through
their API.
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.
