Charting on the iPad

web technologies have added functionality to filemaker solutions since the web viewer layout object was introduced in version 8.5. the web viewer has proven especially useful for displaying flash-generated charts from fusioncharts, maani, anychart, and others.
filemaker pro v11 introduced a built-in chart layout object with 5 basic chart types. charts suddenly became much easier to implement in filemaker pro!
however, with filemaker go for ipad and phone (separate apps) built-in charting is not supported and apple’s ios doesn’t run adobe flash. the google charts api is popular, but for that you must be online.
luckily, the potential of html5 for charting is huge, and the spec that affects charting functions (via the canvas tag) is fairly stable. it is uncertain how soon html5 will be fully ratified, though, so you won’t want to wait. jump in now, using css3 and javascript, as demonstrated here. |
