Custom Views

Custom Views implement functionality that lets you display 2D Maps with custom rendering such as colors, link tariff information, link bends, and so forth. A Custom View allows for the MDI-style layout of multiple maps or plugins across multiple Unicenter MCC frames.

You create your custom objects in the 2D Map using the Toolbox after first activating Custom Views in the Unicenter MCC view toolbar drop-down menu option.

Custom Views provide the following features:

• Text boxes
• Multiple bitmaps
• Shapes, such as Circle, Diamond (Variable), Diamond (Fixed), Ellipse, Hexagon, Pentagon (Right), Rectangle, Rhombus, Square, Trapezoid, (Up), Trapezoid (Right), Triangle (Up), Triangle (Left), and None
• Lines
• Polygons
• Bendable links
• Layering

Note: To convert existing .gbf files into custom views, open the .gbf file in the WorldView Classic 2D Map and resave it. The .gbf is converted and appears in the Custom View left pane of the Unicenter MCC under the private node. The custom view is a named, publishable object that contains custom rendering and layout.
