Visualisez les données clés dans les rapports Vue.js

Mai 22, 2025
L’intégration de graphiques dans les rapports transforme les données brutes en visuels clairs et attrayants qui mettent en évidence les indicateurs clés pour une prise de décision plus éclairée.

Charts in reports are graphical representations of data such as bar graphs, line charts and pie diagrams that are incorporated into business documents to illustrate key insights and trends at a glance. By converting numbers into intuitive visuals, charts improve clarity and make comparisons between categories or time periods effortless while drawing attention to critical metrics like sales growth, customer churn or budget variances. These visual tools streamline data interpretation, empower stakeholders to make faster more informed decisions, foster alignment across departments and tell a cohesive data driven story without wading through rows of figures.

Several Vue.js reporting components support charts including:

  • Stimulsoft Reports.JS allows you to embed interactive charts in web reports, supporting diverse chart types, customization, and real-time data updates.
  • ActiveReportsJS lets you design dynamic chart components with extensive data bindings, responsive layouts, and export options for high-quality report visuals.
  • DevExpress Reporting facilitates integration of charts into interactive dashboards, offering cross-platform rendering, data analytics features, and customizable styling controls.

Ajoutez de la clarté et du contexte aux fichiers PDF

Mai 22, 2025
Les annotations permettent aux utilisateurs de mettre en évidence des sections clés, d'écrire des commentaires ou de suggérer des modifications aux documents PDF, en veillant à ce que les commentaires soient aussi clairs que possible.

PDF annotation capabilities in PDF components provide powerful tools for users to interact with and enhance digital documents. These features are essential across industries where document review, feedback, and collaboration are critical, such as legal, education, engineering, and publishing. By integrating annotation support, developers enable users to mark up content visually, add commentary, and highlight important information, all without altering the underlying document content. Annotations are typically stored separately from the base file data, ensuring document integrity while allowing flexible interaction.

Common features include:

  • Free Text annotations allow users to insert editable text anywhere on the page, useful for adding clarifications or context.
  • Freehand Draw (Ink Annotations) let users sketch directly onto the page for informal notes or diagrammatic feedback.
  • Highlight Text annotations help draw attention to key passages by applying a translucent overlay.
  • Lines annotations provide a precise way to mark connections or callouts, often used in technical reviews.
  • Rectangles annotations offer a clean method to emphasize or outline specific areas of interest.
  • Stamp annotations enable users to apply predefined or custom graphical markers, such as approval seals or confidentiality warnings.
  • Sticky Note annotations allow users to attach small pop-up comments to any part of the document for easy reference.
  • Strikethrough annotations visually indicate content that may need deletion or reconsideration.
  • Underline Text annotations subtly emphasize text without obscuring it.

Accédez en direct aux données des graphiques via les API JavaScript

Mai 22, 2025
Les contrôles de graphique React peuvent récupérer des données à jour à la demande en s’intégrant à des API JavaScript personnalisées pour des affichages visuels dynamiques.

JavaScript API as a data source in React JavaScript Charts refers to the use of custom JavaScript functions or services that fetch and supply data dynamically to chart components at runtime, rather than relying on static datasets. This approach enables charts to reflect real-time data changes, support asynchronous operations, and integrate with external APIs or internal services. It is particularly useful for applications that require up-to-date information, such as dashboards, monitoring tools, or analytics platforms. The key advantage is enhanced flexibility and responsiveness, allowing developers to handle complex data flows, perform live updates, and tailor chart behavior based on interactive or conditional logic.

Several React Chart Controls offer support for using JavaScript API as a data source including:

  • Highcharts Core lets you populate charts with live data through JavaScript APIs, enabling dynamic updates and real-time visualization scenarios.
  • DevExtreme Chart (part of DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress) allows you to bind chart components to JavaScript API-driven data sources.
  • LightningChart JS facilitates high-speed rendering of data streamed from JavaScript APIs, ideal for intensive, real-time analytical dashboards.
  • ZingChart supports flexible data injection via JavaScript APIs, making it easy to refresh charts dynamically based on changing external datasets.
