• Selected Thinkmap Examples

This is the example that ships with Thinkmap and represents American movies from the 1980's. This combines a spider display, which shows the movies, actors, directors, and genres, with a chronology display that shows the movies by release date. As you click on movies, the chronology automatically adjusts to show the movies that appear within the spider graph. There is also a range slider, which can be used to select the range of years from which movies appear in the graph.

Since this example is shipped with Thinkmap, it provides the basis for most Thinkmap applications. To create a new Thinkmap, most developers start from this, and add or take away features as necessary. Although this particular iteration uses a flat-file XML format as a data source, the Thinkmap SDK ships with the movie example with versions that support a database backend and flat file (on the client and the server).

Things to Try

• Try using the slider in the lower left hand corner to filter which movies are displayed by year.
• Click on one of the genres, to see the chronology fill with information.
• Search for a common name like "Kevin" to see how Thinkmap handle's search pages.
