The NodeMap is a java applet that will show nodes and node connections. Nodes can be routers, servers, switches or anything else, the applet just takes names and images as input to show the map. Also the background color and connector properties can be changed. The optional background image can be your region, country or city map. Nodes can be moved with the mouse and also be saved. Double click will open the link to display the node.
There are several functions using left or right mouseclick, CTRL-mouseclick, SHIFT-mouseclick or ALT-mouseclick. Nodes can be moved, deleted, zooom in/out and connectors can be added or deleted. The table below will show all functions.
