Style sheets consist of collections of graphic settings, such as
color, font, and icon, that are used to render objects and
associated attributes in graphic components. Cascading Style Sheets
(
CSS)
provide a powerful mechanism for customizing HTML rendering in a
Web browser. The CSS specification originates from the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C) and has the status of a W3C Recommendation.
The CSS mechanism is a great improvement over the
.Xdefault
resource mechanism of the X Window System. The basic idea remains
the same: matching a pattern and setting resource values. The CSS
language is intended for HTML rendering: matching HTML tags, and
setting style values. XML is also a CSS target, especially in the
context of the Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) specification of W3C.
In
JViews TGO, the CSS
level 2 (
CSS2) Recommendation is transposed for the
Java™ language and used to set Bean properties according to the
Java object hierarchy and state.
JViews TGO graphic
components use CSS to customize the object rendering as well as the
graphic component configuration. JViews TGO supplies a large
number of predefined ready-to-use CSS properties that apply to both
predefined and custom business classes, objects, and attributes of
these objects. The predefined representation can be fully
customized to achieve the graphic representation that best suits
your needs.
