<p>When visualizing data it is often useful to have both a quick graphical view which can
|
||
show high level trends and a detailed table view with the exact figures. The table
|
||
module supports the creation of an almost endless varieties of tables. </p>
|
||
<p>The table library module will allow any kind of rectangular table with an arbitrary
|
||
number of rows and columns. user selectable size, cells may be merged with other cells,
|
||
have individual background colors, different fonts and various types of borders. </p>
|
||
<p>Since graphic tables can be created as objects this also means that they can be added
|
||
to ordinary graph types in much the same way as for example icons and text
|
||
objects.</p>
|
||
<p>A good way to get an idea of the capabilities of the library is to review <a class="xref" href="ch19.html#fig.table-overview" title="Figure 19.1. Standalone table examples">Figure 19.1. Standalone table examples</a> where a number of different tables that all have
|
||
ben created with the library are shown. In the remainder of this chapter the APIs
|
||
available will be explained by means of a number of worked through examples.</p>
|
||
<p>Since table has full support for Client Side Image Maps (CSIM) they can also be used a
|
||
launch pad to take the user to further detailed information.</p>
|
||
<p>In addition to adding data tables to graphs it is also possible to create graphic
|
||
tables on the fly all by its own. This has the advantage compared with HTML tables to
|
||
allow users to make copies of the table while maintaining the exact formatting of the
|
||
table. </p>

|

<p>In addition to the standalone tables shown above another common usage is to combine a
|
||
graph and a table. An example of how this can be done is shown in <a class="xref" href="ch19.html#fig.bartable_intro" title="Figure 19.2. Combining a graphic table and a bar graph">Figure 19.2. Combining a graphic table and a bar graph</a> below. The exact steps how to create this graph
