Mondrian enables any graph of objects to be visualized. This chapter has reviewed the main features of Mondrian:
- The most common way to define nodes is with
nodes:and edges withedgesFrom:,edges:from:to:andedges:from:toAll:. - A whole range of layout is offered. The most common layouts are accessible by sending
circleLayout,treeLayout,gridLayoutto a view. - A shape defines the graphical aspect of an element. Height and width are commonly set with
height:andwidth:, respectively. - A shape is colored with
borderColor:andfillColor:. - Information may be popped up with
popupText:andpopupView:. - A subview is defined with
nodes:forEach:andnode:forIt:. - Events of a sub-node is forwarded to its parent with
forwardandforward:. - Highlighting is available with
highlightWhenOver:, which takes a one-arg block that has to return the list of nodes to highlight.
This chapter was about the Mondrian domain specific language. Mondrian is an older visualization framework developed by Tudor Girba and Michael Meyer in 2005. Mondrian has been maintained from 2008 until 2009 by Alexandre Bergel.
