Creates object of the
PmaPanel type and object of the
PmaWebDir type.
There is a script
onPageModify in the
PmaWebDir object that calls the methods
graph and
sourcedata. The
"graph" method creates the
html page that contain links to
Highcharts open source application for chart rendering. The
"sourcedata" method prepares the source data to be displayed by the chart.
In the
"sourcedata" method, the data is prepared into a specific
csv format that has its specification. The first row represents the header where the first column is time and in the following columns the names of variables. The following rows and columns contain the data to be displayed. The dimension of the data set is defined by the variables
nRows and
nCols.
In the
"graph" method, it is possible to define the appearance and labels in the chart:
- in the sections title:, subtitle and yAxis, there are the main title, secondary title and Y axis label.
- in the section series:, there is the line width setting, rendering type setting, colors and transparency for each chart line.
The description and additional options can be found in documentation:
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/.
The
open source application is linked online so the chart rendering will be possible only if the Web client can connect to the internet.
Highcharts - Open Source Graphing Library
highcharts.js can be used to produce dozens of chart types and visualizations, including statistical charts, 3D graphs, scientific charts, SVG and tile maps, financial charts and more.
highcharts.js is licensed under the MIT license.
Highcharts.js can be used in two modes:
1. online (see preconfiguration), with connection to files stored on the Web (minimum -
https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js)
In the created object of the
PmaPanel type, there is an inserted
PmgFrame object and on its card
Frame the the "
Viewer" configurator is set. There is the defined path to previously inserted
PmaWebDir object.
The source data is emulated in the "
sourcedata" method, where the structure of the data is apparent. The method must be modified in order to get the data from the application.
2. offline with locally stored files in the Web folder of the PROMOTIC application:
Procedure:
- follow all the steps as in the previous setup
- then create a new Web folder in your application folder
highcharts.js
data.js
exporting.js
offline-exporting.js
These configurators can be set before the preconfiguration is created:
| The name of created object | Name of the object created in the tree of Pma objects. The maximum name length is 30 characters. This is a system name, so it must contain only alphanumeric and must not contain any diacritics, empty string, spaces and the first character must not be a number.
Default: "PanelGraph" |
