Class IlvLaneRenderer

java.lang.Object

ilog.views.sdm.renderer.IlvLaneRenderer

public class IlvLaneRenderer
extends IlvInteractorRenderer

This class is an alternative implementation of swimlanes. It differs from the first implementation, IlvSwimLanesRenderer, on the following points:

• With the new implementation, the lanes represent objects that are explicitly contained in the data model, whereas in the first implementation, the lanes were created internally by the renderer. The advantage of this new implementation is that the properties of the lanes (position, size, label, etc.) can be stored in the data model.
• The new implementation supports hierarchical swimlanes, that is, lanes containing sub-lanes.

These new swimlanes make it possible to display processes that conform to the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) standard, which requires hierarchical lanes.

This renderer looks up the following properties in the style sheet:

• LaneName: If this property is set for a node, the node is considered as a lane that will contain other nodes or links.
• LaneSize: This property is looked up for objects that are lanes, that is, on which the LaneName property is also set. It defines the height of the lane if lanes are horizontal, or the width if they are vertical.
• LaneLength: This property is looked up for objects that are lanes, that is, on which the LaneName property is also set. It defines the width of the lane if lanes are horizontal, or the height if they are vertical.
• LaneFree: This property is looked up for all objects. When true, the object is not automatically associated to a lane when dropped or moved inside it. Default is false.
• Lane: If this property is set for a node or a link, the node or the link is considered as a belonging to the lane whose name is the value of the Lane property.

CSS example:

Lanes {
alias : "<value>";
automaticExtending : "false";
defaultLength : "3.0";
defaultSize : "3.0";
horizontal : "false";
interactor : "<value>";
margin : "3.0";
nodeReparenting : "false";
parameter : "<value>";
processMouseMoveEvents : "false";
spacing : "3.0";
sublaneOffset : "3.0";
}

Property Detail

alias

public java.lang.String alias

Sets the alias of this renderer. The alias is the symbolic name used to designate the renderer in the SDM style sheet, for example SubGraph or GraphLayout.

CSS example: alias : "<value>";

automaticExtending

public boolean automaticExtending

Enables or disables the automatic extending mode. If the automatic extending mode is enabled, the lane is automatically extended to fully contain all its nodes when they are moved or resized.

CSS example: automaticExtending : "false";

defaultLength

public double defaultLength

Changes the default length of lanes (that is, the width if lanes are horizontal, or the height if they are vertical).

CSS example: defaultLength : "3.0";

defaultSize

public double defaultSize

Changes the default size of lanes (that is, the height if lanes are horizontal, or the width if they are vertical).

CSS example: defaultSize : "3.0";

horizontal

public boolean horizontal

Changes the orientation of the lanes.

CSS example: horizontal : "false";

interactor

public java.lang.String interactor

Changes the interactor that will be put on the graphic objects created by the filtered renderer.

CSS example: interactor : "<value>";

margin

public double margin

Sets the margin between the objects inside the lane and the bounds of the lane.

CSS example: margin : "3.0";

nodeReparenting

public boolean nodeReparenting

Enables or disables the node reparenting mode. When the node reparenting is allowed, nodes can be reparented when they are moved. In that case, if a node is moved outside its parent lane, it is detached from that lane. If its new location intersects another lane, the moved node is attached to this new lane.

CSS example: nodeReparenting : "false";

parameter

public java.lang.String parameter

This method calls #setInteractor. So, you can simply customize the interactor renderer as follows:

  SDM {
    Interactor : "ilog.views.objectinteractor.IlvButtonInteractor";
  }
  

CSS example: parameter : "<value>";

processMouseMoveEvents

public boolean processMouseMoveEvents

Sets the processMouseMoveEvents to set. If true, mouse motion events are processed, which can slow down the application. If false, mouse motion events are ignored. Default is false.

CSS example: processMouseMoveEvents : "false";

spacing

public double spacing

Changes the minimum spacing between adjacent lanes.

CSS example: spacing : "3.0";

sublaneOffset

public double sublaneOffset

If lanes are horizontal, changes the offset between the left side of a sub-lane and the left side of its parent lane. If lanes are vertical, changes the offset between the top side of a sub-lane and the top side of its parent lane. This offset is used to leave room for a label.

CSS example: sublaneOffset : "3.0";
