Pivot Grid Components

Pivot Grid has four main components:

• Pivot Grid Data Source Engine component.

  This component is the back-end component of Pivot Grid. It provides the necessary framework support for runtime manipulation and generation of data sources to render the grid and chart display. This component also provides interfaces that can be used by the Pivot Grid User Interface component, the Grid-display component, and the Chart-display component to perform the required data source manipulations for rendering the controls on the Pure Internet Architecture page.

• Pivot Grid User Interface component.

  You use this component to create and update Pivot Grid models using the Pivot Grid wizard, to view the Pivot Grid models in the Pivot Grid Viewer, and to create different views for the same Pivot Grid model.

• Grid-display component.

  This component is primarily responsible for rendering data in the Pivot Grid grids. Its functionality understands the current grid layout and invokes the interfaces of the Data Source Engine component to execute data sources. It also interprets various actions in the grid and subsequently invokes the engine component for executing the data source again.

• Chart-display component.

  This component is primarily responsible for rendering data in the Pivot Grid chart. Its functionality understands the current chart layout and invokes the interfaces of the Data Source Engine component to execute data sources. It also interprets various actions in the chart and subsequently invokes the engine component for executing the data sources again.
