We discussed Ajax Viewer API in chapter2, in this chapter, we will talk about Fusion Viewer API. Flexible web layouts are an alternative to the Ajax Viewer. Flexible web layouts make use of additional libraries and technologies for some functionality. At times it may be useful to refer to documentation for these libraries. See the following for more information:
- Fusion, the open source technology used by Flexible Web Layouts.
http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki - OpenLayers, a JavaScript library for displaying map data in a browser.
http://www.osgeo.org/openlayers - Jx, a JavaScript library for building UI components like dialogs.
http://jxlib.org
In this chapter we will give you an introduction of fusion viewer, the components of fusion viewer, how it works and how to extend this fusion viewer. This document on wikihelp is very useful, I would suggestion you to go through it first and refer to our training materials below. You may also find this DevTV useful as well.
