Unlike most of the other ASPired2 products, ASPired2Graph does not have a web based interface. ASPired2Graph is a VisualBasic class for creating bar graphs and therefore, it displays what you program it to display. In other words, you have to write the code to describe your graph.
The ASPired2Graph file needs to be included in the page that will display a graph.
Displaying a graph requires a few lines of code. Below is an example of how to create a simple bar graph.
The data that you set between creating the object and closing the object is pretty flexible as long as you include an Append_Values call and the Create_Graph call is the last call.
