Dynamic Editing with Icon Charts
Any numeric field can be charted as a horizontal bar chart or
icon chart within a table. And in PHPLens 5 or later, you can generate a GIF graph of the data, which is described in the next section.
Icon Bar Charts
Bar charts are self-explanatory. Here we chart the stock availability for various products:
If the chart has both negative and positive numbers, you can choose two different colors for the negative and positive values.
Chart dimensions must be set for bar charts. This is the maximum size of a chart. Set the width and height.
To fit the chart into the chart dimensions, phpLens needs to estimate the maximum and minimum values of the field. You can provide an SQL statement to calculate it here, or hard-code numeric values (this is faster).
Icon Charts
Icon charts are figures that are repeated multiple times to
represent a given quantity.
For example, if you want to display a red circle for every 10 units in stock, and 68 units were
sold in a month, the icon chart would display 7 circles.
You can define your own images to use for your icon or bar charts; just store the picture
in the phplens/img/bar directory and phpLens' dynamic editor will autodetect the images.
Refer to the chartLens property for more information.
