Graphs in VML
Posted on 2002-03-26
Has anyone got a simple example of how I can dynamically produce a bar chart on a web page based on a differing recordset - using VML
I need a simple example where I can specify the limits of the X and Y axis and the differing height of 3 bars.
I believe VML is the best way to do this. If not what other options are there without any client side requirements.
Thanks

carlmc,
If your graphing needs are relatively simple, you could generate a simple HTML table to create your graph, in the form of a horizontal bar chart. This would guarantee client-side compatibility.
i.e. given a recordset rs with two fields, "name" and "value,"
...
<table width=100%>
<%
xlimit = 100
do while not rs.eof
%>
<tr><td align=right><%=rs("name")%
<table width=100% bgcolor=blue><tr><td width=<%=(rs("value")/xlim
</td><td></td></tr>
<%
loop
%>
</table>
...
You could add modifications to cycle the color as well.

And here is an example of a vertical bar chart :
...
<table cellpadding=5>
<tr>
<%
ylimit = 100
tableheight = 300
do while not rs.EOF
%>
<td valign=bottom>
<table height=<%=(rs("value")/yli
</td>
<%
loop
%>
</tr><tr>
<%
rs.movefirst
do while not rs.eof
%>
<td><%=rs("name")%></td>
<%
loop
%>
</tr></table>
...
if you take advantage of the various table parameters (ie cellpadding, etc) you have considerable formatting options. To change the width of the bars, increase or decrease the number of " "'s in each one. To change the spacing between them, modify the cellpadding parameter, etc etc.
