Another Chart ?

[john w]

Hopefully a simple question and answer.I need simple column chart. I would like to use the charting native to InDe. I can get a bar chart. How do I get a column chart?

Define "native".

It uses OxyPlot now by default. If you look in the Chart Types it has bar chart not a column chart. Not in the list.

I dont want a Google chart.

According to this:
https://doc.instantdeveloper.com/eng/default.aspx?artid=5e1c00f3-b94c-4ab8-858c-510cc60c7a4e&lang=eng

oxyplot is only used in c# projects, for books when you have a graph in a PDF you are creating. Is that what you are doing?

If so it appears fairly limited compared to some of the other libraries.

I just need a column chart and do not want to Google charts. Column does not seem available as chart type. Is there a way to make a bar chart a column chart?

[ljwilson]

You can use JQPlot, and set the direction to horizontal. Column chart is same as Bar chart but horizontal instead of vertical.
Look at my example:

And uncomment the following in the Charts Form Load event:

Note this example has some custom folder .js files too for styling, which you may or may not want/need.

Thanks I understand now the .setDirection does it.
