Description

This sample shows how to build a composite graphic object using Perforce JViews Framework. This sample displays an IlvManagerView to which is added an IlvManager containing the IlvCompositeGraphic object.

How to Use the Code Example

This sample does not run as an applet. See "How to Run the Sample as an Application" for information on how to start the sample.
This application displays an IlvManagerView containing a IlvCompositeGraphic object.
The IlvCompositeGraphic consists of a base IlvRectangle, an IlvText label, an IlvStackerLayout containing 3 small rectangles, and a balloon with text inside.
No interaction is possible with this sample. It's purpose is to illustrate the code used to create a composite graphic.

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, compositegraphic.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.
