draw line between nodes with net anim

[Francisco Eduardo Balart Sanchez]

Good day:

Using: ns3.25

Netanim: 3.107

I would like to know if there is a way from the test through netanim commands to draw a line between nodes (for cluster visualization purposes).

I look up on the threads and found that in 3.106 only could be done through QT commands in the animatormode.cpp

in

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/ns-3-users/Vo5mpGZh5ng/discussion

and also in https://groups.google.com/d/topic/ns-3-users/KdhtjTubnhY/discussion

So, is there a way in the test to draw a line between nodes so i can be seen in net anim xml replay?

or we need to tweak the netanim 

I also saw that the snippet of code shown in the previous forum mentioned above is no longer there:

 static QGraphicsLineItem * line = 0;

      if (!line && m_currentTime > 0)

        {

          AnimNode * a = AnimNodeMgr::getInstance()->getNode(0);

          AnimNode * b = AnimNodeMgr::getInstance()->getNode(1);

          line = AnimatorScene::getInstance()->addLine(a->x(), a->y(),b->x(),b->y());

          QPen p;

          p.setColor(QColor(Qt::red));          

          line->setPen(p);

        }

      if (line && m_currentTime > 6)

        {

          line->setVisible(false);

        }

i saw a little bit in of the addLine command:

animatormode.*

and

animatorscene.*

thanks in advance and best regards

God day John:

Just following up if there was any pointer on this :)

Good day:

To clarify, i would like to be able to perform the function of drawing the line from the

netaniminterface found in src/netanim/model directory and not from animatormode.cpp

So when in the test i call the animationinterface this is can be done either from the test via function a call or automatically on the *.cc file

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi,

Through animationinterface there is no API provided. You might have to simulate a point to point link.

For example:

hg diff src/netanim/examples/dumbbell-animation.cc 

diff -r 1bb606297cff src/netanim/examples/dumbbell-animation.cc
