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"});
You can also use any technique described in “User
Interactions” in Introducing JViews Diagrammer to
integrate your own symbol data model, possibly through an XML
stream or database connection.
