I think it would be really great if painter supported the drawing of charts and graphs directly - It would just have another control for the graph, that you could dump onto the form, and do a bit of general formatting in the properties box.
Then inputting data into the graph would be similar to inputting data into a table - each column would be a data series, etc.
I know there are ActiveX controls that achieve this, but they cost beween $100 and $300 US, and are awckward to use as all the class and method names are different when you import them into JADE.
Jade is primarily for information systems, right? And an integral part of an information system is to be able to view the information graphically, so JADE should have specific built-in support for this. Anybody agree?
