2D/3D Line Graph Documentation

Data Element Naming Convention.
The graph is capable of displaying multiple series of data in the same chart area and therefore it is necessary to specify which series each piece of data belongs. In addition it is also important to specify the order in which data should be taken for each series. This is done by the Name of each element.

The data name format is,

dataNseriesM:

where N is an integer number representing this data position within the series and M is an integer specifying the series. Both the data and series numbering should be continuous and begin with 1.
For example if we have 2 series of data each with four pieces of data the data names would be,

data1series1:
data2series1:
data3series1:
data4series1:

data1series2:
data2series2:
data3series2:
data4series2:

Data Values
The data value for each piece of data can either be an integer or real / floating point number. In addition if the data file is being constructed for use by the applet, two further elements may be added which define a URL and a Target frame for this data point.

To add a URL and target frame to a piece of data simply add the URL and target frame name to the end of the line separating each with comma "," character.

e.g. data1series1: 7000,http://www.jpowered.com,framename

In the applet implementation the URL and Target elements may also be used to execute a piece of JavaScript within the HTML page. For further details on this please see the section "JavaScript"
