Graph types...question or request

[tcanelli]

Does appsheet currently support this type of graph/chart and I’m not seeing it? If not, is it possible to get?

Not currently! However people in the tread below are working with dynamic SVGs that could make it possible to do something similar (based on your knowledge of SVGs).

Dynamic SVG graphics Tips & Tricks 💡

Recently I have been using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) in my applications, in place of typical raster images or even text in some cases. SVG graphics are defined through code, as per the examples here: https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/svg_examples.asp As the images are defined with code, you can CONCATENATE() strings of code together while including application variables, to make the images dynamic. In this way, you could have animated images which react to user input. Another thing to no…

Review the above thread regarding SVG graphics.

The most significant (maybe only) limitation of using SVG’s within AppSheet is that they do not work in internet explorer.

If you can work around that limitation, the graphs you posted above would be doable using dynamic SVG.

Thanks! I dont know anything about SVGs but will try and play with this. Currently I’m stuck using PowerBI, but we cant publish to the web so anything I do is stuck behind our firewall. Having in the app will be much nicer.

If you are unfamiliar with SVG’s it could be a little bit of a challenge - they definitely fall outside the scope of ‘low-code’ or ‘no-code’

@Mike has an example SVG app set up that i’m sure you could get access to - there are some useful things there to check out.

This weekend I have some spare time and I could look at tinkering with a guage-style SVG as you posted above!

Take a look through the whole thread as there is a lot to learn. SVG can do the charts you show but will take some work to get is right. @Jonathon has been a big help on this area
