                //              and also provides some additional convenience mechanisms
                //              for connecting to common data sources without needing to
                //              explicitly construct a Dojo data store. The widget can then
                //              present the data in several forms: as a graphical chart,
                //              as a tabular grid, or as display panels presenting meta-data
                //              (title, creation information, etc) from the data. The
                //              widget can also create and manage several of these forms
                //              in one simple construction.
