A user asked about the best way to show a graph or chart on a web page. For this, you basically have three options. First, if the chart isn't really complicated, such as a simple bar chart, you could draw a graphic and stretch its width or height to a proportional size larger. The graphic might only be 2 pixels high and 10 pixels wide, for instance. You could show your graphic as 60 pixels high and 10 pixels wide, for instance, to show 30% or 30 units.

A second option is to use a Java applet, which can be controlled from your ASP file. There are a number of applets available to do this, both commercial and freeware. One of the good sources for Java applets is <a href="http://gamelan.earthweb.com/">Gamelan</a>.

A third option, if you have the ability to do so, you can use one of many ActiveX controls to show your graph or chart. Like Java applets, there are a number of commercial and freeware controls available. You can get these controls at online stores like <a href="http://www.componentsource.com">ComponentSource</a> or <a href="http://vbxtras.com">VBxtras</a>.
