Architecture Canvas Layout

An Architecture Canvas Layout is an example layout of a Dragon1 canvas. A layout, in this case, is a set of areas spread out as layers or columns.

One of the layouts, which we name the Dragon1 Architecture Canvas, is presented above. With the Dragon1 demo steps, users can generate a visualization using a layout.

A layout consists of areas. An area on a canvas can be populated with a certain set of data from a repository or Excel sheet. For instance, an area can be populated with applications and another one can be populated with processes.

The layout can be configured by a user. Above, you see a dynamic example of a generated Architecture Canvas Layout in the Viewer.

We have provided an Excel Sheet you can use to generate your own Dragon1 Architecture Canvas Layout.
