ASP Graph Source 2

[JohnPham]

Hi all,
I try to pull out some information from database and graph it.
Are there anybody know where do I find the sources regarding to the graph or chart in ASP using Javascript or VBSCript.
This is new topic for me. I don't have any clue. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much...

John

Hi,
I had the same problem and I found the following alternatives :

1°) The simplest (for bar charts only) : to build your chart using a <table> filled with parallel rectangle colored images which height represents the value to be displayed <img src.. height=value*scale> ...

2°) Sometimes cheap not always : using JAVA components (some might be cheap)
see links at the bottom

3°) Less cheap and less portable : ActiveX components

4°) Using Office Web Charts components

5°) Using VML (supported only by IE 4+ not yet by W3C). SVG is an alternative but you need to install plugins on the client side.

As you can see, there are many solutions but in the end not much very consistent.

My favorite solution : hand-coding VML even if not supported by W3C/Netscape : it's free, flexible, fun ...

Hope this will help a bit.
