The Bar Charting extension is designed to provide the easy creation of fast, dynamic bar charts. The extension is fast since it is written in C using PalmOS graphics APIs. The extension is easy because it plugs straight into Satellite Forms. The borders, fill pattern, colours, chart title, axis titles, grid lines, markers and axis minimums/maximums are all configurable and can be altered dynamically. Data can also be added and removed dynamically which means that you have the option of utilising Satellite Forms variables or fields from tables.

The Bar Charting extension has the ability to show a legend of all data contained within the graph.

The charting extension has been tested on PalmOS 3.0 and all PalmOS versions there after. The extension may work on earlier PalmOS versions but remains untested.

The bar charting extension comes with a custom pattern creation program for Windows. This pattern creation program was used to create the fill patterns shown in all the example pictures. The extension also comes with a full set of already created patterns (in black and white - colour can then be set).

As shown above in the sample chart, the bar charting extension allows the setting of foreground and background colours. The colours can be any standard colour or, alternatively any custom colour.
