This kind of plot is also called a scatter plot, scattergram, scatter diagram or scatter graph.
Web Applications with flashChart
I've been asked a couple of times whether it is possible to integrate charts with flashChart in "normal" web applications. This has always been possible however with version 1.2.0 (build level 1.2.0.7) of flashchart it is much easier.
This article describes how to use the interfaces of flashChart for web applications. With a sample application it is explained step by step what is needed to integrate diagrams in Web applications. To understand this article it is necessary to have some basic knowledge of HTML and the scripting language PHP
FlashChart and Click Events
With a pointing device such as a mouse, clicking a graphical element triggers a "mouse click" event (or click event). FlashChart now with version 1.2.0 is able to handle click events and may trigger actions. Possible are two types of actions:
- navigate via "http" or "https" URLs to internal or external websites
- execute javascripts
You define these actions on click events with parameters:
- onclick - relates to chart elements
- key_onclick - relates to legend (key) items
- alert_onclick - relates to chart elements where an "alert" has been triggered
Additionly you now may via new parameter "menu" (which will create a chart menu element) request execution of javascripts.
