A Spotfire solution to a complex problem may require a design with several specialized extensions. Still, a single extension based on an SDK example project will often do. The examples are fully functional solutions to common problems, and there are many ways to combine them.
Overview
Developers use the Spotfire SDK and the Spotfire API to automate,
integrate and extend the TIBCO Spotfire platform. This page
outlines the categories of solutions that can be created by
describing the extensions available in the SDK.

Spotfire SDK
The SDK provides required Spotfire developer resources: the Spotfire Extension Project Template, development assemblies, example projects, and the Package Builder application wrapping the extensions for deployment.
