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.
