The JasperReports® Server commercial editions support Flash charting, and include the Maps Pro, Charts Pro, and Widgets Pro component libraries.
Using the libraries, you can create visually appealing, animated, and interactive reports:
• | Maps Pro – Color-coded maps covering all countries and regions of the globe. |
• | Charts Pro – Standard and stacked charts with animation and interactivity. |
• | Widgets Pro – Non-standard charts such as gauges, funnels, spark lines, and Gantt charts. |
These components are based on Fusion libraries and generate Flash output that is embedded in the HTML and PDF output. When a report containing a Maps, Charts, or Widgets Pro element is exported in a format other than HTML or PDF, the space used by the element remains blank.
To view a Maps, Charts, or Widgets Pro element in the server, install Flash Player. You might need to install plug‑ins or enable Flash on the browser. To view Flash elements in PDF output, use a Flash-enabled PDF viewer such as Adobe Reader.
You can configure the server to default to HTML5 when rendering Pro Charts. See the JasperReports® Server Administrator Guide for more information.
Flash charts are created in Jaspersoft® Studio Professional as JRXML reports and uploaded to the repository as a report unit. JasperReports® Server cannot create Flash charts. The sample report 14. Performance Summary includes flash elements.
To find and run a Flash chart example:
1. | In the repository, locate the sample report 14. Performance Summary. |
2. | Click the report name to run the report, which launches as part of the Performance Summary Dashboard. |
Performance Summary Dashboard with Flash Map |
Note the Sales Trend map in the center of the dashboard.
3. | To interact with the map, mouse-over any of the countries to see the full country name and, when data exists, the value for that country. |
4. | On the Sales Trend map, click Canada to launch the Interactive Sales Report, displaying the information for Canada only. From there, you can modify the underlying report as needed. |
To upload JRXML reports, see Adding Reports Directly to the Repository.
