Package ilog.views.graphic.composite Description

Provides classes for creating Composite Graphics. A Composite Graphic is a collection of objects organized into a tree structure. The leaves are IlvGraphic and the nodes are IlvCompositeGraphic. The design of this package is based on the Composite Design Pattern as described the classical book "Design Patterns". All the classes provided in this package are beans and can be styled with CSS.

There are two types of Composite Graphic:

• IlvCompositeGraphic
• IlvCompositeLink

The main features are:

1. A Composite Graphic has children, the first one (at the position 0) is called the base of the Composite Graphic.
2. A layout manager IlvLayoutManager positions and resizes the children.
3. The children can distributed across several JViews layers.
4. A binding of events (keystrokes or mouse gestures) and Swing actions can be defined for each child and for the Composite Graphic itself.
