The ChartDirector API is designed to accept data values as array variables. This is the most flexible way of accepting data. This flexibility permits ChartDirector to accept data from all kinds of data sources. For example, ChartDirector can accept data from a database, a text file, XML, or as HTTP query parameters. All is needed is to read the data into array variables, and pass them to ChartDirector.
Describes the architectural options of where to perform the database query (in the HTML script or ChartDirector script), where to generate the chart, and how to pass data in between.
