Re: xAP Floorplan

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the tenets of xAP is that the applications and devices are
distinct functional entities distributed around your network. As such
you can them mix and match your needs from available building blocks.
Charts and graphs would be useful to a lot of xAP applications and would
sit nicely as a separate application . This also helps avoid feature
bloat in applications which in itself isn't an issue but the support and
'wishlists' just rise exponentially as people each invariably like it
done a little differently.   Perhaps an idea would be able to draw in
some html or graphic page generated externally to FP.  The intranet OCX
is ideal for these things and of course having a SQL db to use is great
news.
