Format: Showcase
Topic: Web Based Applications
Level: Introductory
Session Abstract:
- Producing documents in different formats is now commonplace in web page development. Oftentimes, line drawings, static graphics, and even Flash files are used to add customer appeal to otherwise boring pages. However, when dealing with administrative reports, executive and legislative summaries, those adornments are not welcome if they do not contribute to the clarification of the contents. What if you can add attention-grabbing, customizable graphics that not only simplify the understanding of the contents but also has drillable feature to boot? What if you can do it by using your browser without the need to go back to the server for further processing? Harnessing the power of Java applets and Active X control, SAS makes it possible to embed graphs with modifiable bar and background colors (scheme-driven), bar shape (block, cylinder, hexagon, prism, star), chart type (pie, horizontal, vertical), axis (horizontal, vertical), legend, grids, label placement, lighting, and many more. What is amazing is that all these changes can be made on the user's end "on-the-fly". This presentation would demonstrate the ease and simplicity of embedding customizable graphs to add pizzazz to your web pages.
