Hello WebFOCUS gurus

Did anyone created a D3 chart recently. I have been trying to build a D3 chart but still struggling part does my HTML go, and I also need to add WebFOUCS syntax that will pull data into chart. Where does that part go

I looked at this link in github on creating WebFOCUS extension but this does not specify where do I add place for FOCUS code that will build my data file and where do I put HTML.

 

 

 

GitHub

I am adding to this a HighChart Script to this post. Can someone suggest how to get this going.

Thanks in advance.

Yogi, does the output of your TABLE request need to be HTMTABLE to import it into the HTMLFORM

Hi Yogesh

Extensions will be used like any chart in the WebFOCUS Designer or InfoAssist GUI. No HTMLFORM needed.

Heres a tutorial how to build your own extension

Building this using HTMLFORM will not work as those type of extensions usually call data from within a JavaScript.

By the way - HighChart is a commercial chart engine that requires a license.

I case you need a specific chart it might be better to look at a free chart engine.

There are a few people that build custom WebFOCUS extensions in case you need something specific.

Thanks Patrick, I did not realize it was commercial licensed charting engine. Let me check licensing agreement before I jump on this path. Also thanks for sending that extension tutorial.
