IF you just need a little graph .. say a simple bar chart or line graph, you can use
a table, and stretch a 1 pixel gif to your desired width ...


<td width="90%"><img src=/imgs/blue1p.gif border=1 WIDTH=163 HEIGHT=12
</td>
<td width="90%"><img src=/imgs/blue1p.gif border=1 WIDTH=120 HEIGHT=12
</td>


and so on.

If you want a line graph, place a 1 pixed gif stretched before it then draw a single line ..

you can do lot's of things like that with tables .. it's a bit heavy on HTML but not as much as a JPEG and so on .. and you'll usually only do it
for a limited number of columns.

Hi Prasad,

This probably won't help you, as these are are custom VelocityMacros we include in our system. (an online simulation engine called Forio Broadcast). The source is not available, but the macros are fairly simple. (they just translate names of variables into a img tag with a long URL). Really, they're just a convenience.

Still, if you're interested you can read our documentation. "Revenue" and "Costs" are simulation variables specific to our particular system (basically, they are a series of double values arrayed over time).
http://www.forio.com/broadcastdocs/creating_interfaces/how_to_create_graphs.htm



For more info on Velocity macros, read the Velocity docs. http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/user-guide.html#Velocimacros

For more info on how to create your own graph servlet, you'll have to read the docs of the third-party graphing library you end up choosing.

WILL

how to build these varibles revenue and Costs. what is its datatype. Is there any documentation for these macros if it is then please send me links.

PS.  One nice way Velocity can help with graphs is
through macros.  If you
end up with a long complicated <img> url to generate
a graph, abstract this
with a macro.  Our Velocity-based system has a
number of graph related
macros.

http://www.forio.com/broadcastdocs/creating_interfaces/how_to_create_graphs.htm



For example, in our system the macro #LineGraph (["Revenue", "Costs"] 400 300)

generates the text

<img

src="graph?FD_rand=1861&FD_graph=1&VariableName=Revenue&VariableName=Costs&Width=400&Height=300"



width="400" height="300">

which instructs our custom-written graph servlet to
generate a graph of the
variables revenue and costs over time (in a GIF
image sized 400x300).

Best,
WILL
