Displaying a graph

[Former Member]

Based on a exponential function I'd like to display a graph. I thought about sending the function as a paramenter to a java program which will calculate the graph and return a jpg or png.

What are the required steps? JRE 1.4.2 is installed on the production server.

I guess I have to setup a java connector and use function modules? The java program is returning a binary file or do you think it would be better to store the binary file on the hard drive and let the ABAP coding access the hard drive?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Cheers

My suggestion will be keep the JPG file in APP server and for display check the SAP standard program SAP_PICTURE_DEMO (It have input as url)

Why don't you just call the Internet Graphics Service (IGS) to so this? That is what it is for.

Just call IGS sounds easier than it is

Someone would have to setup and configure that one.

But still thanks for the help

I will figure out something with Java Connector

Just call IGS is that simple.

IGS is delivered as part of the ABAP WAS now. Simply configure it and go. There is also a IGS Chart Designer tool that helps you design charts offline and it produces the XML payload you need to pass to the IGS to generate the chart. It really couldn't be easier.
