4.6. MultiGraphlet Configuration Checklist

In summary, here's a list of the things you need to do in order to set up MultiGraphlet to display data from a new data set:

1. Write a station server that delivers a list of stations in response to HTTP requests, if you want MultiGraphlet to display a drop-down selection box allowing the user to choose the station. You can skip this step if you don't want this drop-down box. See Section 4.2 for details.

2. Provide a graph specification in the form of an XML file, or a graph server program that delivers XML graph descriptions in response to HTTP requests. See Section 4.3 for details.

3. Provide a data server that delivers data to MultiGraph in response to HTTP requests. See Section 4.4 for details.

4. Put a copy of the "multigraph.jar" file in a directory on your web server. See Chapter 3 for information about where to get a copy of "multigraph.jar".

5. Create an HTML file containing an applet tag that invokes MultiGraphlet with parameters that specify the graph details. See Section 4.5 for details.
