JVM/other examples?

[rwst]

I have a JVM desktop app that doesn't use Swing or JavaFX. I'm also new to the concept of having to use Swing or JavaFX in a Kotlin MPP project. You write in LPK_APP.md:

[JVM/other:](https://github.com/JetBrains/lets-plot-kotlin/blob/master/LPK_APP.md#jvmother)
If your JVM app doesn't use either frontend, you can provide just "lets-plot-common" dependency:

but I can't find code examples for this use case. If there are any, can someone put a link on that page, or point me to it, so I can add something?

I really would be happy if I could avoid dealing with these frontends.

I just see that, without Swing or JavaFX, LetsPlot.getInfo() returns Lets-Plot Kotlin API v.Unknown. Frontend: Not available.

Does that mean the suggested possibility above does not work/exist?

Hi, if there is no UI framework - just barebone JVM, then your options are limited to:

• generating static SVG image (use PlotSvgExportCommon)
• generating HTML which consists of some HTML+JS and creates an interactive chart when in a proper env (use PlotHtmlExport.kt)

There are couple of examples (not exactly like this but close) here: ExportSVG.kt, ExportHTML.kt.

However, if by "JVM desktop app" you mean a Compose Desktop app then you can try the recently released Lets-Plot for Skia Frontend.
