GACnet.palette.dpalette is a palette for Lighthouse Design's Diagram!
application. I developed the palette to speed the process of building
network topology maps and to standardize the symbols used in the maps.
I developed and used this palette to draw maps of the Gustavus campus
network. I have included some of the maps I have developed as examples
of what is possible. Most of the symbols were created using the demo
application Draw and pasted into Diagram. I used to use a Macintosh to
draw maps of the campus network. Maintaining the network maps was one
of the tasks that I hade to move to the NeXT, to it possible to move
the Macintosh SE out of my office. It is gone now.
This Diagram! palette was developed using Diagram! 1.1 and NeXTstep 2.1
I have been playing with the idea building a simple network monitor
using small programs linked to a diagram of the network. These program
could query devices on the campus network using snmp. I have written a
few programs to do snmp queries using the CMU SNMP libraries. Another
idea I had to to produce a guided tour of the campus network complete
with recorded description of parts of the net.
While this palette is in finished form, I plan to continue working on it
as my needs change. I will make the latest version available by anonymous FTP
from FTP.GAC.EDU and other popular NeXT archive sites.
