General Diagram Features
Data
- Manage data using a data model and events or data objects only
- Diagram uses property accessor methods to access data values
- Support class for implementing data models
- Mock up data for style development
Rendering
- Renderers for shapes, text, formatted text, images, and bounds of another renderer's graphic
- Java2D[TM] graphic attributes
- Custom rendering through the javax.swing.Icon interface
- Coordinate transformations
- Align graphics to each element's position or another renderer's graphic
- Renderers that delegate based on data object class or data values
- Value binding and attribute/property transparency for data values
- Converters for data values
- Multi-pass rendering
- Define rendering in a JavaScript-hosted hierarchical declarative syntax
- Configure renderers at display time with value maps, JavaScript expressions, or Java plugins
Modeling and Layout
- Configurable Tree Layout, Resource Chart and Weekly Schedule modules
- Get or calculate element positions from data
- Set element positions interactively in Geo
- Get element positions from an HTML image map
- Implement incremental or deferred layout strategies using a support class
- Layout can depend on or determine diagram size
View
- Diagram calculates view and diagram size automatically based on contents or view parameters
- Position by view rectangle and/or anchor point
- Scale, margins, alignment and resize policy parameters
- Background color, image or gradient
Toolkit Features
- Logging and tracing support
- Converters for application values read from text files
- Configuration through properties files
Geo, the Design Editor
- Interactively position elements and set display attributes
- Test rendering configurations and style choices
- Import, test and reload modeling classes
