Detailed Description

This sample shows a few chart JViews Charts projects. A project encapsulates data and styling information for a single chart. The projects were created with the Perforce JViews Charts Designer. They are displayed in an IlvChart object through the IlvChart.setProject method.

Each project is based on real data. The data was converted into an XML file (in the Perforce JViews Charts XML format) or into a tabular text file (tab-separated values text file). Then, the Perforce JViews Charts Designer was used to create a chart to display this data; the chart was saved both as a JViews Charts project file and a CSS file.

The projects display data from domains of finance, economy, geography, medicine, electronics, geology, astronomy, and others.
