Creating Graph Plot
Thursday, September 27, 2007 by GlebOBurov | Discussion: DesktopX Development
Hello,
Ex.
I have a table with 2 columns and some rows. I get this data from database and put it in someone variant. Now I need to create a 2D graph plot using this data. How can I do this?
There is "Performance Meter" plugin in DX, but it works only with system information. No way to use my own datasource

SirSmiley, thanks.
I created what I want, but is cloning the best solution for creating charts?
Clones appear too long. What will be, if my bar chart has more that 100 bars??
I also want to create simple line graph, pie chart. I think, it will be very difficult to do it (in way of pie chart, impossible).
What about ActiveX? For example, using SVG Document.
I tried to embed ActiveX (ex. SVG Document), but in that case widget's capabilities dissapear (drag & drop, opacity & ect).
Maybe, I can embed MS Graph or same object, but I don't know how...
Maybe, I can creating chart widget without DX???

If you're talking a simple 2D bar graph then have a look at this post I did a while back
Yes, Virginia You can script bar charts.
The code is not edit nicely but, should get you started.
Without getting overly detailed the best solution is to use cloning
