A renderer is a Java™ class that
helps to manage the graphical representation of your business data.
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 (only available if you have purchased a full
JViews Diagrammer license).
Predefined renderers are supplied for displaying info balloons, a
legend, subgraphs, and swimlanes. There are also predefined
renderers to assign a random color to nodes, to assign a specific interactor
to nodes, and many more. The SDK lets you define new renderers for
your application needs.
