When to Use the JAVA Device Driver

The JAVA device driver generates output for the Graph, Map, and Contour applets. These applets provided unprecedented levels of interactivity in all popular Web browsers.

If you need to generate interactive output in the Windows operating environment with the procedures GAREABAR, GBARLINE, or GRADAR, then use the ACTIVEX device driver, as described in Chapter 10, Creating Interactive Output for ActiveX, on page 387. ActiveX output can also appear in Microsoft Word documents or other OLE applications.

If you want to use an ODS style but do not need interactivity, then use the JAVAIMG device driver, as described in Developing Web Presentations with the JAVAIMG and ACTXIMG Device Drivers on page 442.
