Other Interfaces in the Business Graphics UI Element Library 

The BusinessGraphics UI element library provides a variety of other interfaces and classes, which you can use – for example – to display a route in a specific map section. These interfaces include:

·        IWDGeoCoder

·        IWDGeoRouter

·        WDGeoFactory

A description of all existing interfaces, classes, and their methods is available in the Javadocs in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, under Reference Guide ® API Reference in package com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.graphics.api.

When you define a GeoMap UI element, you can not only represent geographic objects on a map, but also display any given route. The IWDGeoCoder interface can be used to calculate a route of geographic coordinates between given addresses for the departure and destination points. To do so, you define the addresses of the desired route. The geographic coder Geo-Coder, which is represented by class IWDGeoCoder, calculates the geographic coordinates and returns a list of result addresses of type WDGeoCoderResultAddress for each address. Interface IWDGeoRouter can then be used to calculate the complete route, from departure point to destination point, from these geographic coordinates.

The example for displaying a geographic route illustrates the use of these interfaces and provides a brief overview of how to implement the geographic routing in the view context.

For a detailed description of how to use these interfaces, see the tutorial Using Geographic Services with Web Dynpro.
