Area Graph Examples

Applet Example 4

The applet is setup here to read the configuration data from a text file and the graph data from a server side process, in this case a Java Servlet running on our web server.

 

The configuration data is acquired from the text file areaprops.txt (click here to view)
and the graph data is acquired from the text file areadata.txt (click here to view).

and here is the HTML code,

<applet code="AreaGraphApplet.class" archive="AreaGraph.jar" width="460" height="440">
<!-- Start Up Parameters -->
<PARAM name="LOADINGMESSAGE" value="Area Graph Loading - Please Wait."> <!-- Message to be displayed on Startup -->
<PARAM name="STEXTCOLOR" value="0,0,100"> <!-- Message Text Color-->
<PARAM name="STARTUPCOLOR" value="255,255,255"> <!-- Applet Background color -->

<!-- Data files -->
<PARAM name="chartproperties" value="areaprops.txt">
<PARAM name="chartdata" value="
http://www.jpowered.com/siriusjava/servlet/AreaDataServlet">

</applet>

 

The DataServlet ( click here to view code ) is a simple servlet designed to demonstrate how a servlet can be used to return data to either the graphing applet or servlet. As you will see the main routine ( doGet() ) uses the method GraphData() to construct the return data. Although in this example the GraphData() routine simply builds the return data from 'hard coded' values, in practice this routine would be expanded to first gather data from any number of datasources. eg. databases, files other server processes.

 

Note: If you are using the evaluation version then in the applet a pop-up window will appear upon the startup and an evaluation message will be incorporated by the servlet. Both these features have been removed from the licensed version. Licensing information can be found at http://www.jpowered.com/graph_chart/index.htm
