The Fusion Charts User Control enables your web site to display incredible, dynamically generated charts. The Fusion Charts control is based on http://www.fusioncharts.com/free/ which provides a free set of charts based on Flash technology.

 

FusionChartsUserControl-runtime

Using the control

To start using the control, drag the Fusion Charts Control to a web panel (or transaction). After that you will see the chart in your web form and its properties in the Properties window (which can be activated from the View menu). In addition, when dropping the Fusion Charts Control, one Structured Data Type (FusionChartsData) and one Data Provider (DPFusionChartsData) will be imported.

The main idea is that you will give the Fusion Charts Control a FusionChartsData based variable containing the x,y values that have to be displayed in the chart. The FusionChartsData SDT contains three fields:

  • SeriesName: X values to be displayed in the X axis
  • SeriesValue: Y values
  • SeriesColor: color to be used for this series

Example using the provided Data Provider:

//the Data Provider outputs a FusionChartsData SDT
FusionChartsData
{
    FusionChartsDataItem
    {
        SerieName  = "Product A"
        SerieValue = 10
        SerieColor = "8BBA00"
    }
    FusionChartsDataItem
    {
        SerieName  = "Product B"
        SerieValue = 20
        SerieColor = "D64646"
    }
}
//Sample code for FusionChartsData
Sub 'FusionChartsDataSample'
  &FusionChartsData = DPFusionChartsData() //&FusionChartsData is based on FusionChartsData SDT
EndSub 

Event Start
   Do 'FusionChartsDataSample'
EndEvent  

The example shown above will create a chart like the one below:
