Strategy implementing Clustering & Grouping graphics

AliJoudeh — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 06:41:54 GMT

hello forum,

I have 2 challenges to share with in regards to the visual representation in runtime graphics.

1. the philosophy of implementing a Clustering solution with the runtime, what would be the most efficient way to implement a simple clustering solution with loads of graphics!

2. treating graphics as groups, so that they can be animated together for example, in the sense (animating the group animates that group's graphics)

Thank you

Greetings,

How exactly do you intent to animate them? Moving them or changing a specific property to them all at once? Which kinds of symbols do you want to cluster?

Regards,

Carlos

There have been a few posts recently about grouping of graphics together to make a single graphic...

In response to this, one thing we are considering at the moment is creating a composite symbol. This would allow you go make a symbol up from a collection of other symbols.

In terms of animation, I'd assumed you were just wanting to update the location of your graphic (s) according to a real-time location of a thing (a ship?).
