[Chameleon-dev] Kool New Widget

Mon, 22 Sep 2003 12:09:19 -0400

Hey,

Just to let you know, I've commited a new widget that display charts 
using the unbeatable OWTChart (http://www.maptools.org/owtchart/). The 
widget simply support ALL OWTChart CGI parameters as Chameleon 
parameters. When redering, the widget build a <IMG> tag that call the 
CGI with the correct parameters.

The widget takes the data to be displayed from a SharedResource 
(SQLQuery, XMLRPC and others).

Here a quick use example:

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>OWT Chart testing</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY OnLoad="CWC2OnLoadFunction">
<FORM>
<CWC2 Type="SQLQuery" Server="mysql-master" Database="my_db" 
UserName="guest" Password="my_pwd" SQLQuery="SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt, 
EmployeeType FROM Employee GROUP BY EmployeeType"/>

<CWC2 Type="OWTChart" XTitle="My X Title" grid="true" 3D="true" 
ChartType="BAR" SharedResourceName="SQLQuery" XLabels="EmployeeType" 
Vals="[cnt]" Title="Employee by type" SetColors="FF0000!00FF00" 
Width="640" Height="480"/>

<CWC2 Type="Table" SharedResourceName="SQLQuery">
    <Template Name="body" content="<br>%cnt% %EmployeeType%"/>
</CWC2>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
