Display SVG document in web-page
To display the SVG document in a webpage, it needs to be included through an <object>tag. I use the following JSP EmpReport.jsp:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/c.tld" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/fmt.tld" prefix="fmt" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/x.tld" prefix="x" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Department Salary Report</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Report on Departments and Salaries</h1>
<object
data="DeptSalSpeedometer.jsp"
width="860" height="800" type="image/svg+xml">
<p>
Sorry, your browser does not support SVG images; please download and install a
plugin for SVG, for example at
<a href="http://www.acrobat.com">www.acrobat.com</a>
</p>
</object>
</body>

Features for the Speed-o-meter Chart
The following features are supported:
- Multiple Datasets with each a color and a label (as tooltip)
- User defined markers and submarkers
- Areas or zones with Color and Tooltips
- User defined ‘gauge angle’ – semicircle, fullcircle etc.
- Day-counter and counter with tooltip
Bar Chart
In a subsequent post I will discuss generation of barcharts. By the way, this is simpler than generating line-charts. A simple example of a barchart is the following:

Enabling SVG in your browser
Note: to fully enjoy all parts of this post, you need an SVG renderer in your web browser, for example the Adobe SVG Plugin for Internet Explorer. To enable SVG viewing in Firefox on Windows – see Mozilla Plugin Support on Microsoft Windows, you need to download and install the Acrobat SVG Viewer Version 6.0 (beta); after installing the Adobe SVG viewer, Copy NPSVG6.dll and NPSVG6.zip to your browser’s plugins folder. These files are normally located in C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobeSVG Viewer 6.0Plugins
I can understand the report in PDF,XML,HTML.
I want to do the report in XL.How I can proceed please give a idea.
all information resides here are good.i need some information regardingg migration.i.e, can i get sorce code & front end design for migrating data from excel to oracle.reply soon…plz…
I have drawn up a list of to do’s: new features I would like to add to the Speedometer chart:
– animation (show the movement of the dials over time)
– support for multiple axes
– better markersupport: set markercolor, markerdash and markerlength; gridlines
– display images (icons) as (part of) markervalues
– display a legend indicating the meaning of each dial
– implement a clock using the speedometer stylesheet as demonstration
I hope to add these features in the new couple of weeks and update the post accordingly.
