Using the Symbol Editor you can refine the graphic representation of data by associating parameters and conditions with a symbol. You can also specify how symbol elements will behave in response to changes to data.

This section explains how to use the Symbol Editor for JViews Diagrammer to start developing Rogue Wave® 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 JViews Diagrammer, the Dashboard Editor sample application or directly in a Rogue Wave 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.
