The Ontimize advanced general-purpose graphical diagram component allows users to both design and display flowcharts, building plants, warehouse layouts, network diagrams, circuit diagrams etc.  These different types of diagrams may be displayed concurrently, and can be integrated with any standard Ontimize form, automatically reflecting the information supplied by the applications database.
Examples of the kind of diagramming supported by the advanced component are shown below:

 

Ontimize Diagram to show a wine cellar layout Ontimize Diagram to show a circuit diagram Ontimize Diagram to show a workflow

 

This Ontimize advanced diagramming component should not be confused with the basic Ontimize graph-based (chart-like) diagrams which are already included in the basic Ontimize framework and allow users to depict data in scatter plots, pie charts, bar charts, histograms and so on.

It can be seen that this Ontimize advanced component, allow users to place information OVER a paint.  For instance, in a banking application, the diagramming component can be used to paint the bank floor layout plan as background, and place the teller locations, security safe locations, employee positions etc. separately over that background. Moreover, additional operations can be defined for these overlays, such as clicking on the employee photo that identifies the employee position in order to open a detail form to insert/update/query/delete the information related to that employee.
