One of the most useful features of Chart FX for Java is its versatility to render charts in different formats, in order to take advantage of the browser capability to display active content. One of the formats supported by Chart FX for Java is Macromedia Flash.
Macromedia Flash Player is the most widely used rich client technology to deploy content and applications. It implements vector-based content and applications download faster than their bitmap equivalents. Streaming data content appears immediately, without having to wait for the entire piece to download.
Chart FX for Java can provide DrillDown charts using the Flash format, in the same way it provides Image Maps. For further details on how to implement DrillDown using Flash, SVG and/or Image Maps, please refer to the Image Maps Generation section earlier in this help file.
In order to use this writer, you must configure the OutputWriter property to a valid FlashWriter object as follows:
chart1.setOutputWriter(new SoftwareFX.ChartFX.FlashWriter());
|
Setting the chart's output writer attribute to a support external graphics writer will instruct Chart FX to disregard the 3rd parameter of the getHtmlTag or getHtmlData methods. Therefore, you may disregard this parameter entirely in when calling the methods:
<%=chart1.getHtmlTag("400","300")%>
