Bar Graph MDI
-
Version
3.65
Bar Graph MDI browses the web using GRML. GRML splits
file and web page content into a form AND a view. The
form is used for input controls, to handle user input
for web requests. The view is used for display
controls to show web page results. The results are
dsplayed using 6 different graphs. Reading either the
GRML, CSV or character-delimited formats, content is
displayed using a bar, pie, stacked bar, 3D bar, 3D
pie, or 3D stacked bar graph.
HTML defines HOW web page content appears. There is
one way HTML is displayed. This is called a display
definition markup language. GRML defines WHAT web page
content is. It is called a data definition markup
language.
In HTML, regardless of how many web browsers there
are, they all try to display a web page the same way.
In GRML, the web browser decides the way to display a
web page. Why? GRML does not define a specific view of
a web page. That means different GRML web browsers
display the same web page differently.
GRML content consists of input controls, columns, and
results. The columns and results create the view. By
removing the input controls from the view, the columns
and results are able to be arranged in multiple ways.
This approach allows different graphs to be used on
the same columns and results, each providing different
information.
Unlike HTML, GRML supports "named" content. This means
support for multidimensional views of a web page. To
view 2 pages of message board results, or 4 pages of
auction listings, or 6 pages of headlines, a HTML web
browser loads each page. Viewing each web page
requires navigating between them. Using GRML, load the
content in one web page, each with its own "name".
Then, use a drop-down list to display the content
based on its "name".
Separating the form from other web page content,
support for multiple AND multidimensional views, and
compatibility with other data definition formats means
GRML web browsers offer another way to browse the web.
