Have you thought of setting a global whereby the size of the objects are stored? This way you can 'magnify' in and out by changing the height and width properties of the objects. Another way is to explore the SVG rendering in Revolution, though I can't find any reference to that in the docs: This presents the images as vectors, which would be easy enough to scale. Other than that, you could group similar objects together, with maybe like a count plastered on top to show the number of items contained: On zooming in this would then open up the 'container' to show the individual items.

You could look at ZUI: Zooming User Interface (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooming_User_Interface) for more assistance with this, there's links at the end of the page.

Good luck with that, I'm interested in visual representations, but with limited screen real estate you have to work round it, sometimes it brings in something new to the scene.

BTW: 800x600 is torturous! Any chance of upping that to at least 1024x768?

Cheers,

Luis.

You might try making a group that is big enough to contain all the buttons, setting it's lock location to true and turning it's scroll bars on - this way, the user can scroll to whatever part of the network he/she needs to see.

Best,

Hi all,



I'm developing an application "Network Editor" wherein there are nearly
50-75 nodes representing people on a single card...



Here each node is a button of size 30 * 40 and with links (graphics of
style line) between them the network becomes very big.



The user will also be able to drag the nodes in the network.



Problem:

With such a big network , all nodes get clustered on a card of size 800
* 600 .So is there any way for proper visualization like in Google earth
or maps where in we can move the screen and view the network or some
other way so that the network can be seen properly.





Thanks in advance,

Vijay Babu Kalangi
