display chart based on csv-file with forms

Hello,

I'd like to display with Forms 10g a chart, which is based at the moment on a (bfile-object) csv-file. The structure of the csv-file is:

Time,Torque,Angle,...

0,0.04,0.1
0.01,0.04,0.2
0.02,-0.24,0.5

How can this be done ?

For security reasons the bfile-object will be replaced by an object which is saved in the database itself, perhaps a blob.

Please show/give me detailed instructions. I looked at the Forms Online-Help Graphics-Builder Tour but it did not work, some og. commands were not found...

Is there a difference in using or displaying charts with Forms 6i and Forms 10g ??

The use of Graphics in Forms is desupported from Forms 9i on. You can still use graphics in Reports, in which case you need to build a Report with the chart you want, but that is probably not flexible enough.

The alternative is to look for a Javabean which holds the needed functionality.

Good luck!

Hello, I'm already convinced, that it is not a good idea to use Graphics with forms 10g. Therefore I downloaded the forms10gdemos from Oracle, installed these demos as suggested and these demos work fine. I'm now interessted only in the "bigraph" which is part from these demos. As mentioned the demo itself works fine, but if I open the graph90.fmb with the forms 10g builder and start the layout editor, it says FRM-13008: JavaBean 'oracle.forms.demos.bigraph.FormsGraph' not found , although the FormsGraph.jar is registered in the windows Registry FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH. Here it is:
d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\importer.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\debugger.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\ut j90.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\dfc90.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\help4.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\ oracle_ice.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\jewt4.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\ewt3.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g \jlib\share.jar;d:\oracle\devel10g\jlib\FormsGraph.jar

Why cant this Javabean be found ?

Please help

Make sure, the ORACLE_HOME\jdk\bin should be first in the PATH for the form builder. If it is not, this could also account for your problem.

Good luck!
