If you want to create nodes and/or links on the view,
you have to set the editable mode on the view component as follows:
<jvdf:diagramerView id="thediagrammer" editable="true" [...] />
For example, by calling the following extract of JavaScript™
in
response to a user action, an interactor is set on the view. This
interactor allows you to create a link with the thetag tag
in the JViews Diagrammer model attached to the view.
thediagrammer.setCreateLinkInteractor("thetag", true);
When the second parameter is set to true,
the create action is available only once.
If you want to have the interactor available permanently, you can
ignore that parameter.
Similarly, you can set a node creation interactor:
thediagrammer.setCreateNodeInteractor("anothertag", true);
In addition to the tag name, the interactor can be configured
to set some initial properties on the selected object at creation
time:
var properties = {propertyName1: "propertyValue1", propertyName2: "propertyValue2"};
thediagrammer.setCreateNodeInteractor("anothertag", true, properties);
