2375.0. "Backdrop Maps and nested domains" by PJWL::LAMB (Peter Lamb - GSG Santa Clara MAIL=MUTTON::LAMB) Wed Feb 19 1992 23:47

The answer to this question might be obvious 
(at least I think I know what the answer should be...)

Lets say I have 2 domains  WRO11 & WRO12  these domains
correspond to a collection of nodes on each floor of
building WRO1 (1st & 2nd).  Now lets say each of these
domains have a backdrop map that shows the floor plan
for this particular floor (and thus the location of the
nodes on that floor plan).  Can I have a superset domain
(say .PHYSICAL) such that when I expand the sub domains
.WRO11 or .WRO12 I get the backdrop maps for those 
particular domains??  Thus I now have .PHYSICAL.WRO11
& .PHYSICAL.WRO12 ??

My assumption is that MCC will do this as it seems 
obvious that this makes sense however I know in software
never assume anything!

Thanks!

	Sure! Each domain can have no map, a unique map, or a map used elsewhere. Its up to you as to how you want the domains and maps to be presented.
