FilePro Graphing

[Ken Cole]

Scott,

Have you thought about doing this in Web pages that the customer can access.

there are great free graph product out there for web pages.

We do this all the time:

1. Customer has a URL, login and password
2. URL fires off filePro that dynamically creates the data file, data file
passed to graph app, typically via system command, that creates an image on
the fly and puts the image into the returned web page.

Takes seconds depending on the data set.

We literally have hundreds of pages with dynamic graphing done this way.

These days there are Javascript libraries to dynamically create graphs on
web pages as well which are even faster.

Regards

Ken
