When defining the entity type, a picture of a van was originallyselected for the entity. has a number of other predefined graphicalpictures that can be used within the model. The available entitypictures can be found from the Edit menu as shown inFigure 2.47. You can select different picture files by navigating to where they are installed within your Arena installation. See Figure 2.48 This may vary by installation. For example, the picture library can be found at the following location in my installation C:\Users\Public\Documents\Rockwell Software\Arena\PictureLibraries.
Once you have selected Edit \(>\) Entity Pictures, you should see theentity picture placement dialog as shown inFigure 2.49. The entity picture placementdialog is divided into two functions: the picture list (on the left ofdialog) and the picture library (on the right of the dialog). Thepicture list represents the entity pictures that are listed in theENTITY module. If you scroll down you will find the picture of the vanin the list. By navigating to the picture libraries within thedistribution folder on your hard-drive (see Figure 2.48 you can select the Vehicles.plbfile. When selected as the current library, your entity pictureplacement dialog should look as shown in Figure 2.49.
After copying the picture, double-click on the picture. This willput you in the resource editor. This is like a drawing editor. Forsimplicity, just select the picture and change the fill color togreen. If you want to make it look just like the picture in thetext, you need to un-group the picture elements and change theirappearance as necessary.
Assign the white over head person view picture to the idle state andthe green picture that was just made to the busy state. To changethe idle picture: Click the Idle button in the table on the left.Select from the picture library table on the right the picture ofthe white over head view person picture. Click the Transfer buttonbetween the tables to use the picture for the Idle resource state.To change the busy picture: Click the Busy button in the table onthe left. Select from the picture library table on the right thepicture of green worker that was just made. Click the Transferbutton between the tables to use the selected picture when thepharmacist is busy.
Now you need to rotate the picture so that the person is facingdown. Double-click on the new Idle resource picture to open theresource editor. Then, you should select the whole picture andchoose Arrange \(>\) Rotate in order to rotate the picture so that thepharmacist is facing down. Close the editor and do this for the Busystate also.
Click OK to close the dialog box. (All other fields can be left withtheir default values.) will ask about whether you want to save thechanges to picture library. If you want to keep the green over headview person for use in later models, answer yes during the savingprocess. The cursor will appear as a cross hair. Move it to themodel window and click to place the pharmacist resource animationpicture within the pharmacy.
By the 1960s, the arena's facilities were becoming outdated, and in 1974, after the Cavaliers moved to the Coliseum and the Barons to Jacksonville, the Arena stopped holding large events. The building was demolished in 1977.
The structure
The Colour Palace is a 10 metre high cube with a bold geometric pattern, standing on four huge red cylinders. At its core is an atrium, creating an arena where visitors can view the structure from many different perspectives, including from an interior raised viewing platform.
The situation at the Library, and the increasing use of pictures as a means of communication and enrichment in modern culture, resulted from the explosive growth of the printing arts at the turn of the century. The industrial impetus created by the sudden and simultaneous late nineteenth-century advancements in photography and photolithography set the stage for the coming modern age in the visual and graphic arts. Improvements in printing presses allowed for more color illustrations, and halftone screens brought better photographic reproduction. Innovations in camera and film design, particularly George Eastman's Kodak camera and the dry plate negative, contributed to the growth of a large amateur photography movement. Soon, the American public was bombarded with graphically oriented media. This created a huge demand for illustrations and eye-catching layouts in advertising, magazines, newspapers, and movie and theatre posters, as well as for textile, architectural, and industrial designs.
In these circumstances, the Library's solution of sending people to the Children's Room, where the content was inadequate, or to the Art Division, where the materials could not leave the room, was not enough. In 1914, the Circulation Department began saving plates, posters, postcards, and photographs for the new sort of "reader." The Library's annual report for 1915 announced: ". . . a picture collection for lending was desirable. Requests have come from schools, city history clubs, moving picture actors, and advertisers. . . . Borrowers include not only people who have been card holders in the Branches, but an increasing number whose first interest in the Library was aroused by the picture collection."(1)
By the end of that year, 17,991 pictures had been prepared for circulation. Many of these pictures came from old magazines and books that might otherwise have been sold for scrap paper. Donations began to pour in. As word spread about the availability of the pictures, the Library assigned Ellen Perkins, a chief cataloger in the Circulation Department, to oversee the program's development. In 1926, with the growing collection now housed in Room 67 of the central building, Ms. Perkins was given the position of Head of the Picture Collection, and the Picture Collection was formally established.
In this modest way began a collection that is today, at five million items, a major resource for visual ideas. Over the years, the Picture Collection staff built and organized so diverse and comprehensive a collection that libraries, corporations, and governments from around the world have studied its structure and consulted its librarians in order to apply its lessons to their own picture libraries. Historically, the development of the collection illustrates the way in which effective approaches to service and cataloging for visual materials evolved, and how the cataloging of pictures came to diverge from the traditional bibliographical orientation of descriptive cataloging, emphasizing instead the maximum number of access points to a picture's subject content.
In most early attempts at subject cataloging of visual materials, catalogers simply approached pictures as if they were books. As a result, they failed to tap the multiple uses and meanings of pictorial materials and to organize them into accessible subject headings.(2) Changes in language and terminology, along with obscure subject arrangements, often diluted the potential of the images for use. Where a college library might maintain collections of Lewis Hine's and Jacob Riis's photographs in their social work departments, with illustrative slides made available for art and architecture students and faculty, public library picture collections, notably New York City's, had to serve a more eclectic constituency. Representatives of commercial, industrial, and artistic interests all had specific needs, and each had its own way of describing the materials it needed.
Some of the problems in early attempts at subject arrangement were encountered by Ellen Perkins when, soon after her appointment, she visited the Newark Public Library to see a picture collection started by John Cotton Dana, a pioneer in many fields of librarianship, as well as the founder of the Newark Museum. Having created the first known picture collection in 1889 at the Denver Public Library, Dana further developed the idea at Newark, where he was appointed chief librarian in 1902. Dana's awareness of businessmen's and educators' needs for access to library materials served as a model for Perkins in formulating her own scheme for the much larger arena of New York City.(3) But Dana's subject headings for pictures were problematic. In his idiosyncratic filing system, for example, one would have to look under "F" for "Forms of Land and Water" to find "Niagara Falls," a situation reflecting nineteenth-century bibliographical practice and hierarchical mind-set. A reassessment of subject headings would be needed to reflect the fast-changing styles and fashions of the machine age and their new nomenclatures.
In 1925 and 1926 I visited libraries and museums in Italy, Austria, Poland, Germany, France and England. At that time I studied the organization and content of documentary pictorial collections. I was especially interested in how these foreign governments perpetuated in pictures changing customs and costumes of their own peoples. Everywhere I went I found that the record of folk arts [was] exceedingly rich and well preserved and that the governments had been interested in subsidizing this recording and documentation. . . . It seemed shameful to me then that we had not developed pride enough in our own past to record the appearance of what the people wore, the details of their kitchens, their tools, their houses. (5)
Javitz was much concerned with access to the collections, and she introduced important innovations. In the early 1930s, she found the Picture Collection besieged by foreign visitors and immigrant artists who asked again and again for pictures illustrating American terms and words or objects of American material culture. In 1931, she overcame the language barrier by instituting a policy requiring the public to record their requests for pictures by describing, or drawing, them on a call slip.(8) This resulted in better communication between users and staff and helped develop a current language for use in cross-indexing and new headings. It also helped identify and maintain a record of subjects that were in demand.
