Graphical Content
Organizations is a classic commercial business object with a hierarchical instance list of departments, sections and staff resources with command handlers using graphs:
The instance list tool bar changes according to the type of business object selected. The individual tabs can be shrunk and expanded as required (see Allow Panes to be Shrunk and Expanded).
Chart layouts can be changed and details appear when clicking on charts.
Visual LANSA has its own easy to use graphing facility, but in this version of the demo application we have chosen to show graphs using an embedded Microsoft Office 2003 web control.
To see the charts you need to have Microsoft Office 2003 on the PC and also the Microsoft Office 2003 web controls.:

The advantage of this method is that almost the same logic can be used to set up the chart for Windows as for the web.
