harkly Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Not sure if this questions goes here. I want to have an image graph that plots a date based on what choices the user makes. For instance, if you were to choose an artist that lived in 1850 the graph would put a "dot" in the time frame. very harsh example - - ---------------------------------------------------- 1700 1750 1800 1850 1900 1950 X ---------------------------------------------------- Is this possible with PHP or would another language be better? Just looking for some advice and perhaps a point towards where I should be looking. Tried to google it but I must not be using the correct terminology Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141821-solved-graph-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If you're looking to generate an image, it could be done with the gd library Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141821-solved-graph-question/#findComment-742514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkly Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Here is sort of an example http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ when you scroll over it it turns blue. Would that be done with what you suggested? Or would it be better to create a separate image for and do an if statement? Just looking for suggestion before I embark on that journey Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141821-solved-graph-question/#findComment-742559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Those are all just individual images with some javascript rollover effects. If that's what you're after, you don't need to do any image creation yourself.

npsari Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I think your idea can be done using Flash PHP may work, but propably you will have to load the page (Unless you use AJAX) Hmm, maybe Javascript will do it to Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141821-solved-graph-question/#findComment-742749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
