| Description:
After you have initialized your chart, provided the data to plot and set any other desired attributes, you render the chart by calling the .CHART RENDER routine. This requires just one arguement, a field to contain the name of the generated graphic file. The routine will then invoke Chart Director, which will create the graphic file. You can also pass a file name, in which case it will create that file in the default chart directory. If you pass a complete path and file name, the chart will be rendered to that location. If you pass a blank field, the API will assign a unique name for you, using the settings in the parameter file. |
