BusinessGraphics

The BusinessGraphics UI element provides a range of chart types, such as bar charts and pie charts, which you can use to display data and the relationships between data graphically. More complex chart types such as "portfolio" or "gantt" charts are also available. The users of your Web application can use these to help with strategic planning decisions or, more generally, as an information chart.

You can use the Chart Designer to modify the UI element properties and other properties (chart elements) of a business graphic, and adapt them to your requirements.

Note Note

When using a business graphic, make sure that you use this UI element together with a label UI element, to ensure you meet the accessibility requirements of the application.

To enable the development of accessible applications, the tooltip property is checked during the syntax check.
