Hi, I am trying to find out, if child entities can be shown on a domain-map with their own icons, not only text-icons. For that I put some child entities on the map and took a look into the map-file. It shows, that the child is displayed as Objecttype 13, SUBICON. The syntax for this object does not allow a filename. (Syntax is decribed in MCC note 4306.0) On the other hand, the Objecttype 1 for ICON seems not to be able, to describe the path to a child, this works only with SUBICON. Also I found nothing about describing a special filename for a SUBICON like for ICONs (mcc_<entity-class>_<icon-name>_icon.dat). Is it possible to display children with their own icons ? My environment is TeMIP Framework V2.0 on OSF/1. In difference to the syntax-description in not 4306.0 the object type 13 (SUBICON) seems to be different: old: object_type 13 center_x <float> center_y <float> ident_dt <integer> mcc_code <code> name <object name> new(?): object_type 13 center_x <float> center_y <float> ident_dt <integer> mcc_code <code global entity> name <object name global entity> mcc_code <code child entity> name <object name child entity> <... further childs> icon_name <string> tag <a number ?> Has the syntax changed ? What does tag mean ? Thanks, Andreas

| 6051.1 | no icon, only box for sub-entity | TAEC::PHOBOE::Flauw | Wed Jul 20 1994 03:54 | 14 | |
Andreas, If you are using TeMIP Framework V2.0, this topic should be discussed in the TeMIP notefile and in fact it has already been discussed there (note 163). I think the answers you got in note 163 of the TeMIP notefile summarize well the situation : you can add a sub-entity on the map as a box, but not as an icon. Being able to add the sub-entity on the map as an icon is part of the wish-list for future versions, but this list is already quite long and the most needed ones will be addressed first. Hope this helps, Marc. | |||||
