Advantages over Traditional HTML Report Generation
-
Book-Quality Report Layout - VIEWidget supports arbitrary x-y positioning
and sizing of objects, and overcomes the limitations of the text-flow based html
report building.
-
Faster Development - VIEWidget's direct object drawing is much more succinct
than tag-based string building for report generation, and can increase the
productivity by more than 100%.
-
Controllable Pagination - VIEWidget solves the limitation of
uncontrollable page break in traditional html report generation for multiple
page prints.
-
WYSIWYG Print and Preview - VIEWidget supports WYSIWYG (What You See Is
What You Get) preview and print for your reports.
-
More Professional and Predictable - Your reports will look
more professional both on screen and on paper with precise and consistent
layouts across different browsers.
Universal Web Server and Database Support
VIEWidget is javascript programmable, and in pure javascript and html text that
is supported by any web servers (Linux, Unix, or Windows etc) and development
languages (PHP, Java, .NET, Ruby, and Python etc). VIEWidget is database neutral and is not tied to a particular database for maximum flexibility. You
simply use SQL to retrieve data from your databases and store the data in web
page, and leave the report generation task to VIEWidget.
