Hello,
I would like to know if I'm on the right track with a project I'm working on. The end result is to display historical data on a graphic depicting a process with valves, piping, etc. I also want to tie the data to a database such that a user can choose a production level and the historical average flows, pressures, temperatures, etc will be shown on the graphic.
So here is what I have done so far. I created a gif (794x394) of the process. Then I created a web page with a table 800x400. The background of the table is the graphic I created. The table allows me to position data over the graphic where I want it.
So far this seems to work but... I find the alignment of the graphic to the data to be offset which is a bit frustrating. The other issue... this seems to be a tedious solution. As I merge table cells data shifts, etc.
Is the approach I'm taking a reasonably good approach or should I be doing something different?
TIA,
Lou
