Whichever
method ( file, html code, server process Esc) you choose
to supply the graph with the data, the format is the same
in that of [Data Name] , [Data Value].
Please Note : Data Names are case sensitive. ( i.e..
data1series1 is not the same as Data1Series1 ).
Data
Naming Convention
The data name is used to specify the series which that piece
of data belongs and the order in which it should be placed
within that series. The format of the name is,
dataNseriesM
where
N is an integer number representing the order of
the data within the series and M is an integer which
specifies the series.
For
example if we have 3 series of data each with 4 pieces of
data then the data names would be,
data1series1
data2series1
data3series1
data4series1
data1series2
data2series2
data3series2
data4series2
data1series3
data2series3
data3series3
data4series3
Please
Note: Both the data and series numbering must begin
with 1 and be continuous.
Data
Value
If the data is being supplied to the applet, then the value
can contain upto three elements, separated by a comma ,
character, which represent,
Numeric
Value
URL
Target Frame
If the
data is being supplied to the servlet then only the Numeric
Value is relevant. In the following examples we have 2 series
of data each with 4 pieces of data.
