RE076 – Relationship 076 – Object-Centric Connectivity

This series should not be confused with the other network series on PowerFrameworks (RE001 and RE074). Series RE001 and RE074 both contain frameworks with a circle at the 12 o'clock position in every variation. The frameworks in this series are designed in the same layout as polygon series TO032, so the frameworks with even numbers of circles don't have a circle at the 12 o'clock position. The connecting lines in this series are not polygons, but individual lines in the shape of the polygons in TO032, which means that they can be individually formatted and animated. If you wish to color the area inside the individual lines, import the appropriate polygon from TO032, apply the desired color to that graphic, and send to back. The frameworks also contain connector lines from the center object to the surrounding objects. You can keep the lines and eliminate the center object/circle if you like, as well.

This series of frameworks illustrates the concept of connectivity with a central object and connections between the surrounding circles. There is another way to use this series, however. The Chart of the Month for January 2010 illustrates a broader connectivity between the surrounding circles. View the Chart of the Month and the tutorial to understand how to format this other useful concept.
