Visualiser: The Visualiser Object

In mpia: Meaningful Purposive Interaction Analysis

Description

Every Domain uses a Visualiser to create cartographic plots of the social semantic network it holds: the visualized conceptual map can then be used as a projection surface to display locations, positions, and pathways of learners or their individual, textually represented learning activities.

Usage

Visualiser(domain, ...)

Arguments

domain	Back reference to the domain the visualiser belongs to.
...	Additional arguments to be passed on to super.

Details

The Visualiser is responsible for all plotting activities: all other objects interface with it to output something onto the plot. The Domain uses the visualiser to render a cartographic map and label the map for its landmarks. The Person uses the visualiser to mark up its position, path, or the map location of individual Performance objects.

Value

The constructor 'initialize' returns the object.
