Re: [birt-dev] RE: HTML Imagemap development for charts

[Ady Das-OToole <adasotoole@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David - thanks for your response and apologies for not getting back 
earlier - I've been terribly busy on this project. I will send you a 
more comprehensive description of the changes we are making to enable 
ImageMaps in short order. For now I have a question that maybe someone 
on this forum can help me with.

1. We want to enable assignment of a column in the DB for the ImageMap 
URL data, so this means an enhancement to the designer and following 
from that the the Charting Engine needs to be able to receive this data 
- where is this integration point? Or more simply where in the 
application is the assignment of data (from the ResultSet) to the data 
points (in the Chart)

Thanks
Ady
