When to use the API
The decision points at which you may decide to use the Java API are:
Extend the Data Model.
If your data cannot be connected by JDBC or is not in XML or is not held in an in-memory data model, you must use the Java API to integrate your data into the Designer before starting development of your chart component. See
Extending the Data Model in
Developing with the SDK.
Extend the graphic refinement of your chart component.
If after you complete a development cycle in the Designer you find that you require graphic refinement features that are not available in the GUI, you can achieve these by using the Java API directly. See
Writing a new grid in
Developing with the SDK.
Write your own interactor.
Integrate your component into an application.
Print.
