    Overview

    This demo demonstrates the GLG Toolkit's features used in the monitoring applications:

  • Vector or image map display (see the GIS Demo for the GIS map displays)
  • Dynamic node and link creation and positioning based on lat/lon information
  • Layering and selective display of the layers
  • Dynamic shapes of node icons representing different node states
  • Dynamic display of data associated with nodes and links
  • Tooltips and hot spots that show the node or link name on mouse over
  • Zooming and panning to selected regions
  • Switching maps for different regions
  • Selection and drill down - pops up a dialog showing data for the selected node, link or state.

    • The demo reads node information (node name and position) from a file or URL and creates nodes on the map dynamically, based on the information received. It also reads connectivity information and connects nodes with dynamic links. All objects in the drawing (nodes, links, display labels, map polygons, etc.) may be dynamically updated by changing any of the objects' attributes.

    Any object in the drawing may be selected with the mouse to drill down or display the object's status. The demo uses similated data. In an application, the data would be coming from a live data source or a database.

    Refer to the User Interface instructions below for the description of various demo options.
