Dynamically Customizing Graphs and Maps

This chapter discusses ways to dynamically customize graphs and maps using ITXML and/or PCScript.

Note: Most of the issues discussed in this chapter are considered to be post-processing issues—i.e., things that you add to the Corda® image after you've already formatted it (created an Image Template file), and sent data to it. If you haven't completed these two steps, Corda Server™ may not know how to apply the customization.

There are many ways to dynamically customize an Image Template file, and this chapter does not attempt to discuss them all. Rather, it presents basic concepts and approaches. This chapter includes the following sections:

• ITXML Transformations

• Changing Colors and Styles Dynamically

• Dynamic Scale Formatting

• Adding Longitude/Latitude-Based Items to a Map

• Legends

• Imported Graphics

• Dynamic Objects
