The diva.graph demo

The graph demo demonstrates basic graph editing and layout functionality, illustrates the key points of the graph architecture. A graph is constructed programmatically, and can then be edited interactively by the user. There are two views of the graph: one which has an automatic layout algorithm applied each time a new node is added, and one which uses a random or user-driven layout.

The interaction and display in the graph editor, although currently fairly simple, uses the features of the Diva canvas to good effect. The use of two views of the graph highlights the Swing-style model-view-controller architecture of the graph package.

The diva.canvas demo

The canvas demo illustrates the main architectural features of the canvas. The window contains a single instance of JCanvas, containing an instance of GraphicsPane. The six sliders control the scale, rotation, translation, and shear of the top-level pane.

The pane contains a number of figures that can be selected and manipulated. Note the use of translucent fills and arbitrary clip-regions supported by Java2D. The Diva canvas is a relatively light-weight layer over Java2D, so any rendering that can be done in Java2D can also be done in canvas figures.

Two of the figures recursively contain panes -- one is another GraphicsPane, and the other is a graph editor. The graph editor can be manipulated in the same manner is described for the graph demo above. We plan to use this hierarchical structuring facility to explore display and navigation through complex information spaces.

The diva.sketch demo

The sketch demo demonstrates free-hand drawing and basic editing commands using pen gestures. It also illustrates a sketch recognition architecture. The window contains an instance of JSketch which uses a default recognition engine. The default setup supports selection (check) and deletion (scribble) gestures. JSketch uses Diva canvas package which implements scaling and dragging of figures.

The diva.whiteboard demo

The whiteboard demo is a digital whiteboard which supports multiple pages, limited undo and redo support, multiple pen colors and widths, and other basic whiteboard capabilities. In addition, it supports embedded CAD-style component editing as a proof of concept. This allows sketches of components to be interpreted and processed intelligently (e.g. attached to a back-end CAD package). Users can move networks of components by gesture-selecting and dragging, and can attach output ports to input ports using wires, that stretch as the components are moved.

The diva.sketch.trainer application

Sketch trainer is a program that allows users to create customized gestures for their application. Users enter about 15-20 samples for each type of gesture (e.g. square, triangle, circle, etc.) and can save the training samples to a file. The user can also load in a previously created training file and modify its contents graphically.

After the samples are created, the user can test the recognition by pressing on the Train button. This will launch a sketching window in which gestures are recognized if they are similar to the training data. If a gesture is recognized, its type will be shown next to its figure.
