Structure of VIB_Display_List

[davep123]

Hi I'm after the annotation information on topology and I need to understand the structure of the: VIB_Display_List (OctetString) attribute.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

I am a colleague of Dave's on this question and it is quite important we understand this.

 

Can anyone help or will it need a support call ?

I’m not sure if this answers your question enough or not…

 

There’s a combination of algorithms that run and process the information from the annotations (text, background, lines etc), the width and height (placement), the zoomscale, and whether it’s grouped or not.  I can’t tell exactly how it does it, but it takes that data and stores it in the VIB_Display_List.

 

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Jay, we really need detailed information about the structure.

Hi Dave,

                Unfortunately I’m not able to provide the specifics.  What are you needing to accomplish? Maybe there’s a different alternative?

Cheers

Hi Jay,

 

I’m currently rendering a topology view in to a webpage using the VIB_IIB_List data, but also want to render the items in the VIB_Display_List, annotations etc.. To do this I need to understand the structure.

 

Thanks

Hi Dave,

                Ok, that makes sense.  I would suggest opening a case to have our engineering team look into it.  From the looks of the code I don’t know if this is something we can provide easily…

Cheers
