Programming with JViews Maps > Symbology > Integrating Symbols into an Application

The simplest way to integrate symbols into a map application is to provide a Cascading Style Sheet (see Styling in Introducing JViews Diagrammer) that describes the symbol rendering, and then use the API to populate the SDM model, for example:

// set the rendering style sheet
engine.setStyleSheets(new String[]{"myfile.css"});
