Getting Started with the Symbol Editor

This section explains how to use the Symbol Editor for ILOG JViews Diagrammer to start developing ILOG JViews symbols. Information provided in this section is based on an example Business Activity Monitoring application.

When you develop a graphical application, you first create your symbols using the Symbol Editor. You then incorporate the symbols into an application using the Designer for ILOG JViews Diagrammer, the Dashboard Editor sample application or directly in an ILOG JViews application using the Java API. For more information on how to integrate a symbol into another application, see Next Steps After the Symbol Editor.
