Representation of off-page connectors in a network

Off-page connectors (OPC) can have different graphic representations according to the value of their attribute type. By default, JViews TGO provides the following OPC types and representations:

OPC types and their representation

Type	Representation	Description
Standard		Standard off-page connector
Managed		Generic managed entity
SingleManaged		Single entity currently managed by the system
MultipleManaged		Multiple entities currently managed by the system
Unmanaged		Generic entities not managed by the system
SingleUnmanaged		Single entity currently not managed by the system
MultipleUnmanaged		Multiple entities currently not managed by the system

The off-page connector type can be set to the object through XML or through the API. Refer to the class ilog.tgo.model. IltOffPageConnector for more information.

You can customize the graphic representation of an off-page connector type by registering a new base renderer (see ilog.tgo.graphic.renderer.IltOPCBaseRenderer ). This base renderer is registered in the JViews TGO default settings (see ilog.tgo.resource.IltSettings. SetValue). Besides the predefined base renderers, you can also register base renderers based on images or on any IlvGraphic class, including SVG support.
