Introduction
In this chapter, we will cover creating charts with PrimeFaces' extensive charting features and creating maps based on Google Maps. PrimeFaces offers basic and advanced charting with its easy-to-use and user-friendly charting infrastructure. Along with the basic charting, live data updating of charts and the interaction with charts via the AJAX mechanism will also be covered. Throughout the chapter, we will cover mapping abilities such as drawing polylines, polygons, and handling markers and events.
