The HP OpenView programmer’s interface lets your application create
symbols and submaps that show object hierarchies and connections (e.g.,
WAN connections). This is described in detail in the OVW Developer’s
Guide.
Symbol Type Registration ASCII Files can also be used to define symbol
classes and subclasses in OpenView Windows. The predefined OVW
symbol classes and subclasses are themselves defined using various
symbol type registration files. You are encouraged to use these
predefined symbol classes and subclasses in your applications.
You may find, however, that existing classes and subclasses are not
adequate for your needs. You can add new symbol subclasses to existing
symbol classes or you can define your own symbol classes. Symbol Type
Registration Files are described in detail in the OVW Developer’s Guide.
