Add Charts to Visualize Numerical Data

Easily add charts and graphs for numerical data

StyleVision's visual design process makes it easy for designers to visualize XML, database, and/or XBRL data in charts and graphs for multi-channel output. Charts can be easily and quickly developed for static or dynamic data, and integrated into consolidated report designs.

Charting brings a vibrant visual dimension to your report designs, allowing you to present data that can be easily analyzed from a variety of different angles. Charting, in combination with StyleVision's other powerful general purpose reporting capabilities — including support for modular designs, conditional templates, dynamic publishing, creating electronic forms, multiple output formats, and more — makes for an advanced and highly scalable decision support tool for XML, SQL database, and XBRL content.

StyleVision charts are flexible and powerful but also easy to use, thanks to a dialog-driven designer interface and, for more complex XBRL rendering, an XBRL chart wizard.

How to Add Charts & Graphs to Reports

StyleVision charts are easily integrated into your report templates at any point by simply dragging the relevant node onto the design pane and choosing Insert Chart from the context menu. The Chart Configuration dialog can then be used for chart settings (choosing chart type and style) and data selection (populating your chart axes with the relevant data from the source).

Chart and graph options include:

  • Pie charts (2D & 3D)
  • Bar and stacked bar charts (2D & 3D)
  • Category and value line graphs
  • Area and stacked area charts
  • Candlestick charts
  • Gauge charts

Interactive wizards make it easy to build dynamic charts to represent your XML, database, and XBRL data, and you have granular control over chart appearance through XPath data selection, full customization of chart appearances, background colors and images, and chart overlays to combine chart types.

You can even define interactive charts with drop down menus and other selectors.

You only have to define your charts and graphs once. Based on this single design, StyleVision will simultaneously publish your reports in HTML, Word, text, RTF, and PDF.
