New HTML5 and Flash Chart Engine

Release 8.0 Version 02

WebFOCUS 8 features an entirely new HTML5 chart engine (ARGRAPHENGINE = JSCHART). These charts will work in both connected and disconnected mode. The ARGRAPHENGINE = FUSION setting is the default for the output format type FLEX created in the reporting tools, including InfoAssist. When this is set in AHTML, it uses the current Flash charts, by default, on browsers with Adobe® Flash® Player that may not support the functionality in these JavaScript charts, such as older releases of Internet Explorer®. These charts will automatically switch to the AHTML JavaScript charts on browsers that do not support Adobe Flash Player, such as Safari® on the iPad.
