R:Charts

Introduction

R:Charts is the charting solution for R:BASE databases. R:Charts is extremely flexibility in that it allows users to mix and match different series across different charts, with one or more tables assigned to individual charts. Charts can be displayed using several file formats including: BMP, JPG, GIF, WMF, PCX, EPS, SVG, and HTM.

Using R:Charts, you can connect to your R:BASE database, choose the table or view that the chart will be based upon, create and save your chart. The specific chart you create will be saved in a file with the extension RBC. The RBC file extension is associated to R:Charts once installed on your computer. Double clicking on any RBC file will launch R:Charts and display the chart created.

The connection between the chart file you create and R:BASE is the R:Charts Plugin file. The R:BASE PLUGINS command uses the Plugin file to create a live data image of your chart, that can be used in R:BASE forms and reports.

R:Charts files (.rbc) will most likely be based on your R:BASE views, where a limited concentration of data will be displayed using a few columns and rows. And, since R:BASE views are automatically updated when the table data changes, the chart image can be created on the fly to reflect the current data.

Added support for 34 standard and extended functions, that can be applied to any group of data series across charts, including:
