This sample shows how Perforce JViews Diagrammer can be used to monitor a process by displaying changes in the business model in real time.

As the simulator goes through the nodes and links of the graph, it sets their "status" property to "active", and then "done". This simulates a real-life process where the activities are executed one after another.
The style sheet used in the example displays the nodes and links with different graphical attributes depending on their status:
