Previewing a measurement as a graphic

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

Is there a way to show an inputed measurement and have it appear as a measured width or length in a graphic?
I am a photographer and considering using this as a way to preview border and image sizes for my frames.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Here is a jpeg to show what I am hoping to do in FM

I believe it's possible (with considerable amount of work!) to use a web viewer for this, generating either an SVG image or an HTML 5 canvas drawing, with some of the parameters taken from data stored in the current record. But this is not really a Filemaker question.

Okay, thanks.  I wasn't sure if it was even possible to tweak a chart or something like that.

 

I will look into the HTML 5 Canvas.  I was hoping to use the data within Filemaker to input the measurements for the diagram.  It would be so helpful.
