The Universal VisioViewer application was designed to be a viewer for MS Visio documents in XML format, in which all the functions are coded in Java language so that the software is platform independent, and are encapsulated into a component so that the software can easily be integrated with any other Java-based application.
Of course, by adding some appropriate controlling functions and input/output interfaces, the component can also be programmed as an individual application which serves as a pure Viewer for MS Visio XML Documents, in a platform-independent way.
Visio is an important component of Microsoft Office Suite, which has a tremendous amount of users and has produced a huge amount of documents all around the world.
However, Visio can only be run under the Windows Operating System, the abundant documents produced by it cannot be read in other platforms. For this reason, Visio documents cannot reach their full efficiency.
In order to eliminate the dependency of Visio documents on the Windows environment, especially the output related functions such as dispatching the documents via network, revealing the content on the screen or printing it on a device, etc., it is necessary to reconstruct the corresponding functions by the platform-independent techniques, especially Java and XML techniques.
In this way, we can not only extend the scope which the documents can be shared, but also can use the vectorgraph of Visio documents to enhance our user interfaces.
