people asked for references to commercial packages to look at and
maybe do something in flex. I posted them (below), but haven't heard
if anyone was able to do something interesting in flex.
Another tack I may take is to use ilog to generate an svg or jpg on
the server and send it back to flex for display. I want to be able to
click on the image, though, and know what 'component' was clicked on.
Has anyone done something similar, not necessarily w/topology, but
images generated on the server?
thanks!
