ChartDirector 5.1 (.NET Edition)

Simple Clickable Charts


In this example, we will create a bar chart that displays the annual revenue of a company for the last 10 years. When a bar is clicked, the browser will load a line chart showing the monthly revenue for the selected year. When the line chart is clicked, the browser will load a pie chart showing the breakdown of the revenue for the selected month. When the pie chart is clicked, it will show the sector details in a web page.

The capability is often called "drill-down", because the user can "zoom-in" to get more details by clicking on the chart.

The above code is quite similar to most of the sample codes in this documentation, so it will not be discussed in detail. The main difference is the code for creating the image map.

The image map for the chart is created using the following code:

[VB]
 WebChartViewer1.ImageMap = c.getHTMLImageMap("clickline.aspx", "", _
        "title='{xLabel}: US$ {value|0}M'")

[C#]
    WebChartViewer1.ImageMap = c.getHTMLImageMap("clickline.aspx", "", _
        "title='{xLabel}: US$ {value|0}M'");

As seen above, only one line of code is needed. BaseChart.getHTMLImageMap will generate the image map for the entire chart. The image map will use "clickline.aspx" as the handler when a bar is clicked.

If you right click on the browser and choose "View Source" to look at the HTML of the web page as received by the browser, you can see that the image map generated above will be something like:

<area shape="rect" coords="67,278,103,320" title='1996: US$ 450M'
    href="clickline.aspx?x=0&xLabel=1996&dataSet=0&dataSetName=&value=450">

<area shape="rect" coords="117,268,153,320" title='1997: US$ 560M'
    href="clickline.aspx?x=1&xLabel=1997&dataSet=1&dataSetName=&value=560">

<area shape="rect" coords="167,261,203,320" title='1998: US$ 630M'
    href="clickline.aspx?x=2&xLabel=1998&dataSet=2&dataSetName=&value=630">

<area shape="rect" coords="217,245,253,320" title='1999: US$ 800M'
    href="clickline.aspx?x=3&xLabel=1999&dataSet=3&dataSetName=&value=800">

...... (one <area> tag for each bar) ......

The image map generated by ChartDirector contains one <AREA> tag per bar. This defines the bars as hot spots. The "href" attributes of the <AREA> tags use "clickline.aspx" as the URL, with query parameters appended to describe the bars. In this way, "clickline.aspx" can distinguish which bar the user has clicked.

The <AREA> tags also include "title" attributes, which act as tool tips when the mouse pointer moves over the bars. In this example, the tool tips are in the format:

"title='{xLabel}: US$ {value|0}M'"

which is specified as the third argument of BaseChart.getHTMLImageMap.

Clickable Line Chart



In the previous Clickable Bar Chart sample code, when a bar is clicked, "clickline.aspx" will be invoked.

The code for "clickline.aspx" is listed below. It determines which year the user has clicked from query parameters. It then draws a line chart based on the selected year.

As "clickline.aspx" is very similar to "clickbar.aspx", it will not be explained further here.

Clickable Pie Chart



In the previous Clickable Line Chart sample code, when a line is clicked, the "clickpie.aspx" will be invoked.

The code for "clickpie.aspx" is listed below. It determines which year and month the user has clicked from query parameters. It then draws a pie chart based on those parameters.

As "clickpie.aspx" is very similar to "clickbar.aspx" and "clickline.aspx", it will not be explained further here.
