3D Pie Chart - Tutorials

Step 1 - Construct the Dynamic Script
The dynamic script can be constructed in any language of your choice. Most Web Servers these days come set up with a dynamic scripting language which is configured to access your database system. For convenience we recommend using the language already configured on your web server.

(if you haven't used or are unsure about what's already available on your web server then you should in the first instance speak to your Web Server Administrator or ISP Hosting company ).

The following are the most common Scripting languages and cover over 90% of web servers in use today,

• PHP
• ASP
• JSP
• Java Servlet

In the "./TemplateScripts" directory you will find template scripts which are designed to provide a base from which to tailor a script for your implementation. You are free to copy, modify and utilize these scripts in any manor you wish.

Simply pick, from the links below, the template script for your environment, modify where indicated and upload to your web server.

PHP template script - ./TemplateScripts/PHP/PieAppletDB.php

ASP template script - ./TemplateScripts/ASP/PieAppletDB.asp

JSP template script - ./TemplateScripts/JSP/PieAppletDB.jsp

Java Servlet - ./TemplateScripts/Servlet/PieAppletDB.java

When modifying the applet configuration parameters within these scripts please also refer to the following section in the Documentation,

Documentation - Pie Chart Configuration Options

Step 2- Upload the Script and jar file to your web server.
The final step is to simply to upload the script to your web server and place the Piechart.jar file in the same directory as your script. At only 14kb this jar file contains all the applet code for producing the graph in your page and as such is very fast to load and run.
