How to create charts?

Creating charts in the editors

The window editor, page editor and report editor include a Chart control. When creating this control, the wizards ask you questions to define the type of chart to create. The description window of the control allows you to modify these options at any time.
The WLanguage functions can also be used to modify the charts displayed in the Chart controls. To do so, specify the name of the Chart control in the different functions.
For more details on this control, see The Chart control.

Creating charts through programming

WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile include several functions for handling charts. These functions allow you to create the charts, to modify them, to change the display options...

[ + ] This example presents the different uses of the Chart control.
Different types of charts are presented:
- Pie
- Sunburst
- Line
- Scatter
- Column
- Area
- etc.

The main features presented here are the possibility to customize of charts from the code, as well as to fill the chart from an HFSQL data file, or in the editor.
WD Drawing on Chart Training (WINDEV): WD Drawing on Chart
[ + ] This example is based on an internal component used to draw elements on a chart control:
- Min/Max areas
- Various areas
- Flags
- Plots and trackers
...
The Chart control Unit examples (WINDEV): The Chart control
[ + ] Using the Chart control of WINDEV.
The chart control is used to directly edit the data that will be displayed in the chart.
This data can come from a table column, a list box, a WLanguage array. It can also be filled by programming.
The Chart control (click management) Unit examples (WINDEV): The Chart control (click management)
[ + ] Customizing the click on a Pie chart.
Here, the section clicked by the user is pulled out by the application.
To implement this behavior, all you have to do is use grInfoXY (to identify the section clicked) and grPiePullOut (to pull out the section).
WD Reports Training (WINDEV): WD Reports
[ + ] This example presents the different methods for creating a report:

- prints based on different data sources (queries, variables, ...)
- prints based on controls (Table, Spreadsheet, PVT, ...)
- printing composite reports
- specific prints (portrait/landscape, report with watermark, report with bar code, ...)
WD Loan Complete examples (WINDEV): WD Loan
[ + ] The power of WINDEV and the ease-of-use of WLanguage have allowed us to develop this application within a single day!

This example is used to simulate loans and to:
- calculate the amount of the monthly repayments from the amount borrowed
- calculate the amount that can be borrowed from a given monthly repayment
- calculate the income of an investment from a monthly payment

For each case, you have the ability to view the amortization table corresponding to your parameters.
