**** UPDATE 4 JANUARY 2003: This code was a very early attempt with vector graphics. If you are interested in creating static chart images "on-the-fly", without the need of a plug-in, I highly recommend investing your time in .NET GDI+. For a sample of GDI+ charts please visit my web site at www.alerme.com. Paul Walchli, paul@alerme.com. **** ** ASP VERSION POSTED 11-14-01 ** ** On 1/31/02 I have posted a JavaScript version ... check Java/JavaScript site for code or visit my website at www.alerme.com **. This code is based on what I have posted previously using Vector Markup Language (VML). This code is written in VBScript and SVG. You will be presented an interface that allows you to enter values, pick a chart type, and render the chart to the screen. What you'll see are very basic charts (boring visually) but you will gain the understanding on how you can create SVG charts on the fly with VBScript. What you'll see rendered is well below what you are capable of creating using SVG (there are no animations or transformations). That is the main reason for naming this posting Beta 0.1. In order to view the pages correctly you must 1) download and install an SVG Viewer. 2) Copy the file (included in the zip file) Chart.svg to the root directory of your C: drive (C:\). You can change this location in the code if you wish. 3) Copy the remainder of the files into the same directory on you drive (SVGCharts or whatever). Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for the code. I can be contacted at: paul@alerme.com.

For a sample of GDI+ charts please visit my web site at www.alerme.com. Paul Walchli, paul@alerme.com. **** I originally posted SVG code on 10/12/01 that rendered charts using HTML and VBScript. ** On 1/31/02 I have posted a JavaScript version ... check Java/JavaScript site for code or visit my website at www.alerme.com**. This code creates the charts utilizing ASP by creating the SVG image on the fly and in a "virtual" page. As with the HTML version, this one is also a Beta version. The colors are ugly and the layout is weak. But, on the bright-side, it's functional. I'll post improvements as time allows. To test this code you will need to create a database, table, and three fields. I have included the information from my database in the ReadMe.txt file included in the zip file. If you use the field names above, all you should need to do is change the database name in three files: Default.asp, incBuildPage.asp, and incBuildSVG.asp. If you do a search/replace for "YourDatabaseNameHere" you'll find the line number of where the connection is. If you have any questions, please contact me at paul@alerme.com. Paul

This code is more to how you can combine higher-end graphics with Adobe Illustrator, SVG, and Javascript to create animations. You will need an SVG Viewer to view the file in your browser (go to www.adobe.com/svg to download).

Finally, if you are interested in SVG, I highly recommend Andrew Watts' new book on SVG by New Riders: Designing SVG Web Graphics. The book is well written and you'll find it easy to apply its concepts. Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for the code. I can be contacted at: p.walchli@att.net. I do intend to post updates (integrating animation and transformations) as time permits as well as an ASP version sometime in November. Happy coding!

** On 1/31/02 I have posted a Scalable Vector Graphics/JavaScript version ... check Java/JavaScript site for code or visit my website at home.att.net/~p.walchli **. Create VML Charts on the fly with ASP. This is (finally) Version 2 of what I previously posted. I have included five files (VML.asp, BuildPage.asp, BuildLineChart.asp, BuildBarChart.asp, and BuildPie.asp) that will show you how to choose a chart type, enter some values and build the chart. As I have mentioned before, and do so in each file, VML does not render in anything but Internet Explorer 5.0 (IE 5.0). IE 5.5 seems to have some quirks rendering text … I have not worked on a work-around as of yet. I have also not tested the code in IE 6.0. Please let me know how it works if you do. That said, VML is excellent for a controlled environment using IE 5.0. I would also plan on one day converting your VML over to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). SVG will be (at least it appears that way today) far more widely supported. Contact me with any questions or if you find any bugs. Enjoy!

** On 1/31/02 I have posted a Scalable Vector Graphics/JavaScript version ... check Java/JavaScript site for code or visit my website at home.att.net/~p.walchli **. Create a line chart dynamically with Vector Markup Language (VML). I wrote this code to dynamically create a line chart on an internal website. It actually runs as an ASP page, with the data for the chart being passed from a SQL server. For posting this example I changed the code to run in HTML & VBScript. I intend to post the ASP version and a Pie Chart done in VML in March, 2001. The downloadable code is fully commented and explained (as best I can). FYI: If you wish to use this code in ASP and connect it to a database, you'll need to convert the VBS document.write tags to response.write ...

This code is more to how you can combine higher-end graphics with Adobe Illustrator, SVG, and Javascript to create animations. You will need an SVG Viewer to view the file in your browser (go to www.adobe.com/svg to download).
