Server Configuration

Here you enter the URL of the graphomate server to which the component should connect and from which you want to save or retrieve templates.
If you have entered the URL to the server, a green check mark indicates that a connection could be established.
If another server is used later, the button next to the save button can be pressed and the server URL can be edited.

The hyperlink "Admin" allows you to jump to the admin area of the graphomate server.

Templates

If the current settings are to be saved as a template, a new template name can be entered in the input field labeled Create Template and confirmed by clicking the Save State button. If the entered name complies with the naming convention, the template is saved on the server and a toast with the corresponding message is displayed in the lower part of the graphomate property sheet. However, if the entered name does not meet the expected naming conventions, an error message with the permitted characters is displayed accordingly.

With Choose Template templates stored on the server can be retrieved and applied. To do this, the desired template must be selected and the Apply button must be pressed. If you want to delete a template, you have to select the template in the list and press the Delete (bin) button. If changes have been made to the templates on the server side, you have to click on the Refresh button. Changes should then be visible.

Export

PNG Export Available

If this Checkbox is activated, at runtime on mouse-over a camera icon is displayed next to the chart, which enables you to export the chart as a PNG file. Clicking on the button opens a new win­dow in which the chart is displayed as an image that can be copied to MS office applications. Due to the export library, the title of the charts is not available in the PNG file.

Excel Export Available

If this Checkbox is activated, at runtime on mouse-over an Excel icon is displayed next to the chart, which enables you to export the chart as a JSON file. Clicking on the button automatically copies the needed data into your clipboard and you will be notified that the export was successful. If the used browser does not support the automatic copying a new browser window will open. You can simply copy its content by marking the whole content (by clicking ctrl+a) and then copying to the clipboard manually (by clicking ctrl+c). After this you will be able to import the chart in Microsoft Excel (using the Import Chart-button) as long as you have installed the graphomate charts for Excel Add-in
