Example: Chart Functions
The example XSLT document below shows how Altova extension functions for charts can be used. Given further below are an XML document and a screenshot of the output image generated when the XML document is processed with the XSLT document using the XSLT 2.0 or 3.0 Engine.
Note: Chart functions are supported only in the Enterprise and Server Editions of Altova products.
Note: For more information about how chart data tables are created, see the documentation of Altova's XMLSpy and StyleVision products.
XSLT document
This XSLT document (listing below) uses Altova chart extension functions to generate a pie chart. It can be used to process the XML document listed further below.
