= Envisage =
Envisage is a Swing based visualization tool for the Polygeneâ„¢ Application model.
Visualizations can be printed to PDFs.
include::../../build/docs/buildinfo/artifact.txt[]
It can be handy to run Envisage in development <<def-application-mode, Mode>> while working on assemblies.
== Usage ==
Envisage can be easily used directly and prior your Application activation:
[snippet,java]
----
source=tools/envisage/src/test/java/org/apache/polygene/envisage/school/EnvisageSchoolSample.java
tag=envisage
----
As you can see, Envisage operates on the ApplicationDescriptor, this means that you
can easily embed it in your own Applications too.
From the sources you can run the `runEnvisageSample` or `runEnvisageSchoolSample` Gradle tasks
to run interactive examples. See <<build-system>> if you need some guidance.
