Using and Adding Renderers

A renderer is a Java class that helps to manage the graphical representation of your business data. ILOG JViews Diagrammer supplies many predefined renderers. Several renderers are usually active at the same time.

The StyleSheet renderer is responsible for creating and customizing graphical objects and is always active. The GraphLayout renderer applies a layout algorithm and is often active.

This section describes the predefined renderers, then discusses how to add a renderer and describes an example of creating a renderer and integrating it into ILOG JViews Diagrammer. The topics are:
