Hello;

I’m very new to Servoy, and finding it very interesting.

I’m trying to use some of the beans supplied with the  
developer kit (specifically, the charting tools), but can’t  
find any documentation on how to use them.

I’d like to understand the various properties and methods  
of some of the charting beans.

Is this information available anywhere?

Thanks in advance.

I think there was an article on the Servoy Magazine website on this subject, but I’m not 100% sure

Hello to all

I’m also new to Servoy. Is there a bean-documentation about the beans which are supplied with Servoy?

I also would like to understand what these supplied beans and their properties and methods are able to do.

Thanks  
Hans-Peter

Here’s a link to the alpha works bean package with all kinds of beans  
XML, SMTP, Charting, FTP etc…  
(the chart bean comes from that package)

NOTE: it’s 75Mb!

Here’s a link to an article introducing beans:
