Add Network Diagrams to your IBM VisualAge Applications


ASSET DRAWParts is a framework for adding structured diagramming capability to your VisualAge applications. It provides ready-to-use classes for adding network, hierarchy, and flowchart diagrams as part of your application.

Several application domains like distributed resource management  and monitoring , geographical information bases , etc. need to display information that is highly interconnected in nature. Network diagrams are natural for visual presentation of such information. Other applications catering to software development  and analysis , Business Process Reengineering  (BPR), etc. also need ability to display diagrams consisting of objects and interconnections. ASSET DRAWParts makes it easy to allow your end-users to construct such diagrams and work with them.

DRAWParts contains classes to address the following functions: creation of visual objects and adding them in a diagram; adding different types of objects (queue server, process, data source, business class , etc.); manipulate drawing objects; interface end-user direct manipulations with the underlying domain model object actions; and iterate over diagram.
In addition to providing basic diagramming functions, DRAWParts provides you with easy mechanisms to customize and extend It. Diagram types  makes it very easy to apply different look to the same underlying diagram, thus allowing multiple notation for the same diagram. Some support is provided for placement of objects  and routing of connections  between objects.

Navigation between diagrams is facilitated and may be easily added to your application. Any graphical object can have another diagram associated with it, and the user can navigate to it by simply double-clicking. You have controls for making individual objects read-only or updateable.
