User (Legacy) Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Can I use ChartFx acting as a Web Service? I mean: the client ask the WS for some graphics and the WS answers to the client request sending back the graphics required (.png images) .

Software FX Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Not directly. In order to generate a chart you need hundreds of parameters to define what type of chart you want, this includes fonts, colors, gallery, titles, etc. Plus the data. It is unpractical to pass all of these as parameters to a web service. You can, however, build a Web service that uses Chart FX that is more specific for your needs. For example, lets say you have Three different charts in your application. SalesChart ExpensesReport Inventory You can build a web service that exposes THREE methods each one producing the appropriate chart. These methods can be parameterized accordingly, they will prepare the look-and-feel of the chart based on some specifications and/or user preferences, retrieve the data from a pre-determined source and produce an chart image. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
