Perforce JViews Diagrammer Code Example: Filtering Links in Complex Diagrams (Java SDK Version)


Description

This code example shows how to layout and display a very large, dense diagram that has many links. If all the links are displayed at the same time, the display is too cluttered. However, some links can be filtered out and a Tree Layout algorithm applied. The nontree links are displayed only when exploring the diagram by moving the mouse pointer over the nodes. This code example uses the graphic framework, but does not use the IlvDiagrammer component or CSS.

How to Use the Code Example

How to Run the Code Example as an Application

This code example can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, filterlinks.jar, that allows you to execute the code example with a double click from a file browser. Note that if you are using Internet Explorer, you can open the installation directory and execute the JAR file from the browser. This technique may not work in other Web browsers.

Alternatively, you can run the code example application from the command line. First check that the Ant utility is properly configured. If not, see the instructions on how to configure Ant for Perforce JViews.

Then, go to the installation directory of the code example and type:
