Charting using Dojo and XPages

Charting could not be simpler using Dojo and xPages. It is simply a matter of building a table data source to supply the various data values, and create a chart object using dojo to draw the data from the table. Of course being xPages and Domino this data could come from anywhere - a single notes database, multiple databases, RDBMS and other non-notes data.....

Look at the captures below...

Now the table is set we can produce

The repeat control is the key to hooking up your dynamic notes data. Once the repeat control with the table is in place we merely call the Dojo widgets and reference that data.

Powerfull stuff...

Enjoy!!!

Hi Chris,

Great example! Very powerful....

In the past I used JSON and JS to build the proper dataset for dojo charts. It was tedious work. I was wondering if you could provide a sample db so I can see the technique you used?

Thanks,

John
