226.0. "Mapping sub-entities?!?!?!" by SMAUG::BELANGER (Quality is not a mistake!) Wed Aug 01 1990 21:37

    
    	Can a sub-entity generate a map?  I have a global entity which has
    a number of sub-entities which have a hierarchical relationship to each
    other.  What I'd like to be able to do is have the user double-click on
    the global entity and generate a map which displays each of the
    sub-entities (as ICONS) and their relationships (lines connecting
    ICONS).  This would give the user a greater understanding of what is
    being managed and how it relates to other manageable things (ie: a
    picture is worth 1,000 words).

Hmm, this would be great functionality for the existing global entities too, 
particularly NODE and NODE4 .....   I wonder if its in the works ...

226.2Good ideas welcome!TOOK::F_MESSINGERThu Aug 02 1990 13:106
    
    This sounds like a heck of a good idea.  However!, not for v1.1. 
    If you have strong notions about functionality etc. contact 
    Jon Egolf.
