Example Usage

Here is an example for creating a pie chart containing five values. The let() function is used to do the setup for the chart, and then the pieChartShowGraphic is called at the end to set the actual value of the container to the chart image.

Set Variable [ $result; Let(
debug = pieChartCreate( "Quoted Hours Worked" ) and
pieChartSetDataPoint( Name 1 ; Quoted 1 ) and
pieChartSetDataPoint( Name 2 ; Quoted 2 ) and
pieChartSetDataPoint( Name 3 ; Quoted 3 ) and
pieChartSetDataPoint( Name 4 ; Quoted 4 ) and
pieChartSetDataPoint( Name 5 ; Quoted 5 );
pieChartShowGraphic( 360; 360 ) )
