directory path on Windows might be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myapps.

Return to your browser and enter the following URL to view chart2queries.cfm:
http://127.0.0.1/myapps/chart2queries.cfm
Writing a chart to a variable
In some cases, your application might have charts that are static or charts that, because of the
nature of the data input, take a long time to render. In this scenario, you can create a chart and
write it to a variable.
Once written to a variable, other ColdFusion pages can access the variable to display the chart, or
you can write the variable to disk to save the chart to a file. This lets you create or update charts
only as needed, rather than every time someone requests a page containing a chart.
You use the name attribute of the
cfchart
tag to write a chart to a variable. If you specify the
name attribute, the chart is not rendered in the browser but is written to the variable.
You can save the chart as a Flash movie (.swf file), or as a JPG or PNG image file. If you save the
image as a Flash movie, you can pass the variable back to a Flash client using ColdFusion Flash
Remoting. For more information, see
Chapter 29, “Using the Flash Remoting Service,”
on page 641
.
Note:
If you write the chart to a JPG or PNG file, mouseover tips and URLs embedded in the chart for
data drill-down will not work when you redisplay the image from the file. However, if you save the
image a Flash movie, both tips and drill-down URLs will work. For more information on data drill-
down, see
“Linking charts to URLs” on page 636
.
To write a chart to a variable and a file:
1
Create a new ColdFusion page with the following content:
<cfchart
name="myChart"
format="jpg"
>
<cfchartseries type="pie">
<cfchartdata item="New Vehicle Sales" value=500000>
<cfchartdata item="Used Vehicle Sales" value=250000>
<cfchartdata item="Leasing" value=300000>
<cfchartdata item="Service" value=400000>
</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>
