Using ASPaint

Procedure

  • When you invoke ASPaint, you are prompted to enter the following metaspace connection attributes:
    • Member name
    • Metaspace name
    • Discovery URL
    • Listen URL
    • Remote discovery URL

      Enter these in the dialog window that appears.

      ASPaint displays a window that allows you to draw into a "whiteboard." The interface is similar to the MS Paint interface.

      ASPaint creates a space named paint. The ASPaint example requires that two seeders be connected to the paint space before you can use the tools to draw or enter text on the whiteboard. Therefore, you should start a second instance of ASPaint.

      When both instances of ASPaint are running, what you draw on the whiteboard of one ASPaint instance is automatically reflected on the whiteboard of the second ASPaint instance.

      If you check the Seeded check box, the command window indicates when a member joins or leaves the metaspace.
