Graphics Builder: Editing and Creating
New Widgets
 Any GLG Widget is simply a drawing
that may be loaded into any GLG
application using one of the provided GLG Libraries (Java, AJAX, etc.)
and animated with real-time data.
The
GLG Graphics
Builder is a graphical editor for editing widgets as well as
creating new widgets. Any widget drawing may be loaded into the
GLG Graphics
Builder to customize the widget
by editing its resources. A modified widget drawing may be saved into a
file to create a custom
version of the widget.
The Graphics Builder's Run mode may be used to prototype a widget's run-time
behavior by animating it with either simulated or real
data. The run command provides numerous data prototyping options.
New custom
widgets may be created from scratch using the
Builder and added to the Builder's palettes. The
Graphics Builder may also be used to create elaborate dashboards which combine several
graph, meter and dial widgets in one drawing.

Generating Graph Printout
The Graphics Builder may be used as a tool
to generate graph print-outs for various projects.
To create a graph printout, load a desired graph from the Builder's
graph palette, edit its colors, titles and other resources, then use
the Builder's Run command to
fill the graph with your data. The
-script
and -datafile options of the
run command may be used to take graph data from a file.

Graph FAQ.
