Basic Charts
One of the tasks we are continually asked to do is to take some application data, format it in a way that gives the data some meaning, and display the results in a chart.
For anyone who has ever had to chart out a trend line, or attempted to calculate the intersection of two disparate data sets in Excel, charting quickly becomes a time-suck. You can very quickly spend more time developing the chart than you spent developing the original application.
With Bluyah, we’re going to make charting easier for you. If you understand your underlying data and can define it in a tabular format, you can go from that data set to a basic chart very easily.
The below example is built against the Bluyah database. The database view looks in the application’s user account table and counts the number of user accounts by week. The report was created off of this view without any modification. Then a chart “Export” was created off of the report.
From “idea” to the implementation you see here took less than 15 minutes.
Tell us what you think. Better yet, give us suggestions for improving Bluyah.
