Having become familiar with simple, ad hoc, and custom graphs as well as network maps, we will explore a few more visualization options in this chapter. We will cover the following topics:
Screens that can include other entities, including global and templated or host screens
Slideshows that change displayed information on a periodic basis automatically
We looked at the individual visualization elements before; now is the time to move forward. Compound elements (which have nothing to do with map elements) allow us to combine individual elements and other sources to provide a more informative or good-looking overview. We might want to see a map of our network together with a graph of main outbound links, and perhaps also a list of current problems.
