Class IlvCompiledSymbolDashboardReader

java.lang.Object

ilog.views.symbol.util.IlvCompiledSymbolDashboardReader

public class IlvCompiledSymbolDashboardReader
extends Object

Reads a dashboard binary file using compiled symbols in an IlvGrapher. This class lets you load the contents of a dashboard binary file in a Graphic Framework grapher, creating instances of compiled symbols instead of symbol nodes customized by CSS in an IlvDashboardDiagram.

The read(URL) function directly creates instances of compiled symbol classes available in the class path without using the CSS or any other data of the palette symbols. The resulting dashboard grapher does not use any SDM Model and Engine. You can then manipulate your symbols in the same way as you do with regular composite graphic objects.

If your dashboard uses predefined link symbols of Dashboard Editor, they are replaced by equivalent built-in Java link classes.

JViews 8.5
