1 Overview

This is a Java applet that creates an very simple organizational chart based on parameters passed in the APPLET tag. Nothing fancy about it.

2 Usage details

OrgChart contains 3 classes: the base orgChart class, a class which defines the Chart object, and a class which displays error messages.

The chart is drawn using parameters passed in HTML, as <PARAM> tags inside the <APPLET> tag, as follows:

• Parameter NODES, which specifies the total number of nodes in the tree.
• Parameters numbered 1 through NODES, each contains 6 bar-separated values:
  1. unique identifier number for the node;
  2. text to draw for the node;
  3. parent identifier or 0 for the root node;
  4. first child identifier or 0 if it has no children nodes;
  5. next sibling identifier, or 0 if it has no more siblings;
  6. depth level (the root node is on level 0).

Warning: no checks are done to ensure that the tree is correct. If there are problems the tree will simply not be drawn correctly. Further details can be found in the code comments.

3 Future development and support

No update is planned. Please do not send support or help requests.
