Sample node template and configuration

Overview

Once you have implemented a node template, an administrator must include the template in a value and relationship graph configuration. The following section provides a node template code sample and instructions for adding it to an existing configuration.

Node template code sample

The following is a sample code for a node template:

public class nodeTemplateExample implements NodeTemplateFactory {

	private static final int DEFAULT_WIDTH = 275;

	public NodeTemplate build() {

		NodeTemplate template = new NodeTemplate();
		template.setShapeType(ShapeType.ROUNDED_RECTANGLE);

		NodePanel rootPanel = new NodePanel();
		rootPanel.setWidth(DEFAULT_WIDTH);

		NodePanel mainPanel = new NodePanel();
		mainPanel.setPanelLayout(PanelLayout.VERTICAL);
		mainPanel.setBackgroundColor("#0B2265");
		mainPanel.setMargin(MarginType.LEFT, 12);
		mainPanel.setMargin(MarginType.TOP, 12);
		mainPanel.setMargin(MarginType.BOTTOM, 12);
		{
			NodePanel imagePanel = new NodePanel();
			imagePanel.setAlignment(AlignmentType.MIDDLE_LEFT);
			{
				NodeImage image = new NodeImage();
				image.setBindingSource("/icons/w1.png");
				image.setHeight(50);
				image.setWidth(50);

				imagePanel.addElement(image);
			}

			NodePanel table = new NodePanel();
			{
				NodeDataTable dataTable = new NodeDataTable();
				dataTable.setAlignment(AlignmentType.CENTER);
				dataTable.setNumberOfColumns(2);
				dataTable.setColumnsWidth(new int[] { 100, 85 });
				dataTable.setRowSeparatorColor("#0B2265");
				dataTable.setBorderColor("#0B2265");
				dataTable.setBackgroundColor("#A5ACAF");
				dataTable.setTextColor("#A71930");
				dataTable.addRowData("Name:", "${/name}");
				dataTable.addRowData("Department:", "${/departmentID}");
				dataTable.addRowData("Managed By:", "${/supervisorID}");
				dataTable.setMargin(MarginType.BOTTOM, 10);
				dataTable.setMargin(MarginType.LEFT, 10);
				dataTable.setMargin(MarginType.RIGHT, 10);

				table.addElement(dataTable);
			}

			NodeExpanderButton expand = new NodeExpanderButton();
			expand.setTargetElement(table);
			expand.setAlignment(AlignmentType.MIDDLE_LEFT);
			expand.setMargin(MarginType.TOP, 5);
			expand.setMargin(MarginType.LEFT, 10);
			expand.setMargin(MarginType.BOTTOM, 5);
			expand.setBackgroundColor("#A71930");
			expand.setHeight(12);
			expand.setWidth(12);

			mainPanel.addElement(imagePanel);
			mainPanel.addElement(expand);
			mainPanel.addElement(table);

		}

		NodePanel indicatorPanel = new NodePanel();
		{
			NodeIndicator indicator = new NodeIndicator();
			indicator.setOpacity(1);
			indicator.setWidth(40);
			indicator.setHeight(40);
			indicator.setMargin(MarginType.LEFT, 10);
			indicator.setAlignment(AlignmentType.CENTER);
			indicatorPanel.addElement(indicator);
		}

		rootPanel.addElement(mainPanel);
		rootPanel.addElement(indicatorPanel);
		template.setPanel(rootPanel);

		return template;
	}

}

Including a template in a graph configuration

To include a node template in a graph configuration:

1. Navigate to Administration > TIBCO EBX® Data Model and Data Visualization Add-on > Value and relationship graphs > Table configuration.

2. Open the desired table configuration and select the Node Style tab.

3. In the Node Template field, enter the fully qualified name for the class that implements the template.
