Chapter 6: Create and Display a Chart

Display the Image in an Input

  1. Add an alpha work field to the input image and make it long enough for the complete server pathname.
  2. Set its GUI control to PICTURE.
  3. Set Location Type to SERVER.
  4. Set Position to EXPAND PROP'L and enable the Transparent flag as appropriate for the chart.
  5. Size the field to the intended display area.
  6. Render before displaying the image and place the successful returned path in this field.

Use proportional expansion to preserve the chart's shape. Test a fresh render on redisplay, leaving the screen and returning, and opening the same screen in a second session. A client-local path and a browser URL are not substitutes for a server image path.
