Enterprise Curl

Introduction

So far, we have seen how to display data in a rich table control and as fields on a wizard page, but this is not enough for most business applications. A typical requirement is to display summary data in a graphical form, and to meet that need, we will create a 2D pie chart module within our enterprise Curl framework. In this chapter, we will investigate the following:

• Creating a generic graphical report container

• Using enumerated data types

• Drawing lines and shadows on the screen

• Creating a dynamic pie chart

• Setting labels on a pie segment

• Extracting a pie segment from a pie chart
