Incorporating Charts in Web Pages

In many real application, the charts created by ChartDirector are to be displayed inside HTML based web pages.

To include any image in a HTML web page, one needs to insert an <IMG> tag in the HTML web page. When the browser sees the <IMG> tag, it will load the image using the URL in the <IMG> tag with another HTTP connection.

The same method applies when including a ChartDirector chart in a HTML web page. An <IMG> tag should be inserted in the web page, with its URL pointing to a charting script (a script that uses ChartDirector to create and deliver chart images).

For example:

<HTML>
<BODY>

<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>Hi, this is my first web page with ChartDirector charts.</p>

<IMG SRC="http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/cgi-bin/perldemo_cgi/simplebar.pl">

More HTML elements ......

</BODY>
</HTML>

In the above code, the "http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/cgi-bin/perldemo_cgi/simplebar.pl" is a charting script that uses ChartDirector to create and deliver chart images.

You can include multiple charts in the same web page by using multiple <IMG> tags pointing to multiple charting scripts.
