Hi Aaron,
I do not mind the dataqueue approach.
As a matter of fact we had decided to create an application undependent server to create charts and we use dataqueues to communicate request and response with it.
This way we can make it to generate charts for various of our applications with an as slim as possible resource footprint.
To do this we want it to stay as near as possible to RPGLE so Yes, we are trying to keep the calls direct from RPG to Java using prototypes.
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.

If you don't mind the data queue layer approach (RPGChartEngine at
mowyourlawn.com) I can help in reformulating my Java code to work with a
modified RPG front end.
Are you trying to keep the calls direct from RPG to Java using prototypes?
Let me know,

Thanks (Danke) Mihael,
Beside the living examples how to do things from RPG (The serviceprograms
available from Scott and Aaron (Thanks thanks) we had used the online docu
extensively to figure out all the other functions we had discovered already.
Somehow we had missed these.....
Thanks again to poit us to these.
Now to execute our growing experience in actually calling these methods from
RPGLE.
Or has someone some 'living examples'.......
Kind regards,
Eduard.

Hi,
you probably should look into the Javadocs for the api. Years have passed
since i have last used jfreechart so i can only point you into some
directions:
explode pie section: look into PiePlot.setExplodePercent(...)
background image: look into Plot.setBackgroundImage(...)
background color: look into Plot.setBackgroundPaint(...)
Javadocs and google are always a good place to start looking for something
=)
good luck
Mihael

to be used in main website.
We have evaluated and tested some.
We have focussed specifically on JfreeChart and we think have discovered
quite a lot of the functionalities.
That was fun to do and we like the results (but not always the performance)
.
There are however some things we would like to do but could not find if it
is possible or how to make it happpen.
That are things like:
- How to have a 'Pie' selection exploded?
- How to disable Pie Labels (Only use the legend).
- How to set the colors outside of the graph (in the PLOT?).
- How to set the color of the legend.
- How to set a backgroundimage/ align an backgroundimage (I want my logo on
the graph!!).
- We can change fonts, but the actual font used does not change!! (I guess
that will boildown to what fonts are availble (and how) on the iSeries).
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis

First of all; Thanks to you all.
We have something to evaluate and to test.....
Off course we prefer an (not available) RPG solution.... ..
First we look at the RPG inflicted Java alternatives based on existing
OpenSource RPG service programs not requiring WAS servers.
Perhaps this is also a change for the ones that developed the service
programs to make a little use of us to make things better.
Only if that proofs not to have sufficient possiblilities we will look at
more remote (resource wasting) things.
Although we have seen very flashy results we have decide not to go on the
Javascript road.
Part of that is the Browsercompatabilit y but in the case of Flash also the
risk of restrictions our clients sometimes have about what plugins ara
allowed to be.
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.

Understood - although I wouldn't worry about javascript restricting your
applications use in certain browsers. Certainly that used to be the case,
but these days it is not really a concern. As an aside, we generate PDFs
and stream them to the browser and that is all done in RPG. Having said
that, I am sure the PHP option will also open up a load of other
possibilities for you without having to reinvent the wheel (so to speak).

Hi Kevin,
Midrange.com is well a sleep...So no hope for resolution from there.
In regard to the solutions based en JavaScripting; In fact we would also
like to use this functionality for other type of things like reporting into
PDF and such.
JavaScript solutions would limit it to use in Browsers.
It is however something to bare in mind when other options fall short
(giving the timelines).
Eduard.

Ahh, I see - you are investigating the possibility of combining both PHP and
an RPG. I suppose there may well be some people on the easy400 mailing list
that use PHP for the purpose you describe, but I see that you also posted to
midrange.com - you might get a more definitive answer there. As I alluded
before, you can get some very feature rich javascript-based solutions for
graphics and charts. I think PHP is great, but using it *just* to get some
graphics capabilities seems a bit like a sledgehammer to crack a walnut -
unless you already have plenty if PHP development experience in-house.

Thanks Kevin,
We develop iSeries websites using RPG in our own brand of framework.
We do not intend to use PHP for that.
We where thinking of utilizing PHP capacity to generate graphics and to use
those on our sites.
In our view we would do HTTP request to an internal webinstance to do so.
Offcourse we are open for other/easier/ better/safer other options.
We do not know all or do not know all possibilities.
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis

The charts you see on some of the example applications on
http://rns.coraltre e.co.uk (user id and password of "demo") are all done
with CGIDEV2 and Fusion Charts Lite from
http://www.fusionch arts.com/ free/
You can use any javascript solution really - the question is more about
whether you want to create your web-enabled iSeries apps with PHP or use
RPG/CGIDEV2.

Dear All,
We have a need and a wish to incorporate graphics/charts based on iSeries
data into our iSeries websites.
We think of using PHP for that and more specifically PHP_DG2 to generate the
graphics.
We however have no experience with PHP on the iSeries.
We know that PHP Zend is available as PASE solution on the iSeries but we
are not sure if we can also use PHP_DG2 or another graphic generator on the
iSeries.
Before going seriously on this road, does someone has experience with this
on the iSeries and can say, yes/no/ be aware for/this works best.
By the way 'All the best for the rest of this year'.
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.
