Post by prosecco »

How easy is to produce charts (lines only) and reports in PureBasic?

(this is windows centric)

some will say "easy" others will say "not so easy".
I fall into the middle ground.
if you are producing a 32bit app, you can use rmchart, but it's a dead product, so no updates/support
There is an example on the forums on creating bar charts using a canvas.
There is also a very slick program for creating reports: nxreports, but it seems to be a dead product as well...

If it were I, I would invest time into learning all you can about canvas gadget and also writing your reports/images to an html file; and let windows handle displaying it.

I would give RMCharts a play, it can produce some nice looking charts and has many options, this will also give some inspiration and ideas if you decide to make your own solution with the Canvas Gadget.

If you do not want to use any library you can directly drw on a canvas gadget; here is a simple result:
