Dynamic Map Types

More recently, opCharts has been given some dynamic mapping capabilities, which makes the maps more automated.  The contents of these maps is based on a filter and then map is layed out automatically and you can tweak and save.  If new nodes are added to the network, or removed, they will be automatically added or removed from the maps.  This is essentially diagrams for documentation being maintained automatically.
