You can create and integrate charts based on your online database in QuintaDB.

You can Print your chart and Download the chart as a PNG, JPEG image or a PDF document, even as a SVG vector image.

In this blog post we'll explain how to create a chart and you'll be able to generate the same chart in a few minutes easily!

Below you can see an example:

Open a table with data

Go to the "Charts" module using the leftside menu and create a new chart.

Choose the chart type.  Available chart types:

• Lines
• Sparklines
• Horizontal bar
• Vertical bar
• Scatter plot chart
• Pie chart

You can change the chart type at any time.

Select the Data source. Select a table and a column with data.

Specify the name and color.

Press on the "Save" button. Please note that you can add multiple data sources to one chart.

Set up the Y-axis. You can specify a name or leave it blank. Indicate the minimum and maximum value along the axis.

Press on the "Update" button.

Set up the X-axis. The X-axis can be:

• Default range (from 0 to 100)
• Auto range (from min to max)
• Autoincrement
• List of values
• Field (dropdown, radio, checkbox)
• Database

If you choose a "Database", you need to select a table, column and sorting type: ascending and descending, or by the selected column.

Press on the "Update" button.

Settings.

- You can show or hide legend and choose legend position.

- You can prefix and suffix for values (currency or percentages as an example).

- You can set a separator between the fractional and integer digits and thousands delimiter.

- You can set precision of the number and set rounding.

Another settings:

- Stacked (for Vertical and Horizontal bar with more then one data source) used to show comparisons between data, but with ability to break down and compare parts of a whole.

- Donut chart (for Pie chart) used to show the proportions of categorical data, with the size of each piece representing the proportion of each category.

- Points used to show or hide points.

- Friendly byte sizes used to show size.

- Curve (for Lines and Sparklines) turns a line into a curve.

- Download adds a download icon to the chart.

- Discrete (for Vertical and Horizontal bar with more then one data source) used to disable columns sorting in ascending order.

- Show insignificant zeros used to hide insignificant zeros, useful for currency.

- Show name used to show or hide chart's name.

Also, you can show or hide: X and Yticks, grid lines and borders. And reverse the X and Y ticks.

Set chart sizes: Widht and Height.

You can also activate Maintain aspect ratio and Responsive (by default) options.

Enter a message to show when data is empty.

Set a border width and padding.

To embed your chart into the website just copy/paste an iframe or JavaScript code from Integration tab.

I am trying to create a chart but the INITIAL PAGE in your presentation is different from the one when I try to create a chart. For one the X-AXIS and Y-AXIS does not appear on that page and it’s like jumping hoops to have the Y-AXIS engaged. Is it that I have an OLD VERSION OF THIS PROCEDURE?

Hi, vwsurf03@yahoo.com!
This video contains the old interface. We will try to update the article this week.

Thanks but the interface chart screen STILL LOOKS nothing like the one I see when I engage the CHART MODULE from my account.
