[SOLVED] Live Data Graph (PNG, JPEG, GIF, and SVG) in HTM
Hi,
We have successfully created reports displaying alive SVG and GIF graphs in PDF and PPT. However, we cannot run Applet graphs in HTML or create OLAP enabled report with Java script due to client restriction. Does anyone know whether is possible to run any the following alive graph(PNG, JPEG, GIF, or SVG) in HTM? If yes, please show an example.
Thanks

Zombie graphs eh? I like that idea Wink

Getting back on subject though, I am guessing that the mention of non use of Java Applets means that "alive graphs" would be those that are created within the browser and not those that are generated on the server?

Do they have to be "Live" ?

Can you change the graphs to so they are generated on the server ?

So you want live data but you want an image - which is a static file created each time you need it. Therefore I guess that you are happy that the file is created afresh each time you need it updated. Therefore, the obvious statement is that each time you want the graph updated you will need to rerun the program that creates it and store it on your network.

As for including an image in HMTL without using Java Applets is that - of course you can - you just have to ensure that the image can be retrieved via a URL. Which, for Web FOCUS, means that the image is generally placed on the client or web server. We use IIS so I place the graphics into a sub-folder within [drive]:\Inetpub\wwwroot\[subfolder], so that the file is easy to retrieve using img src="\[subfolder]\imagename.extn".

I still was never very clear on what a "Live Data Graph" was. That's not a WebFOCUS name for anything so it must be someone's personal nomenclature. Does that just mean a graph off of live data (which begs the definition of "live data" - production?) or are you wanting some sort of interactive graphing/charting capability like you would get with a flex app or Visual Discovery. If the latter is the case, you won't get that without a java applet.


Regards,

Darin

Darin,

I guess the "live" bit really relates to "real time"? That's my interpretation but I may be wrong.

I was taking live as interactive, with the Graph Applet.
