Composite graphics and symbols

The Composite package ( ilog.views.graphic.composite) and its subpackages in JViews Framework contain the Composite Graphics classes.

The main entry point to the package is the class IlvCompositeGraphic.

In JViews Diagrammer, there is a specialized subclass, IlvSDMCompositeNode, which provides composite nodes that can be in layers.

The Composite Graphics subpackages include:

• ilog.views.graphic.composite.layout: The layout managers for child elements of composite graphics. There are three possible Layout Manager classes:

  • IlvAttachmentLayout

  • IlvCenteredLayout

  • IlvStackerLayout

For a description of composite graphics in JViews Diagrammer and an example, see Using composite graphics.

A symbol is an abstraction of composite graphic that can be used only through style sheets, see Managing dynamic symbols.
