Vvidget Server ► Web Programming ► Documents

Documents made with Vvidget Builder can be immediately viewed on the web. You do not have to first convert them into an image or other representation. The steps to distributing the contents of your documents are as follow:

• Connect your computer to the Internet (see the Vvidget Builder User Manual)
• Make a graph or figure in a Vvidget Builder document window.
• Save that document to your home folder's Site directory.
• Include a URL (described below) referencing that document in the HTML of your own web page.

For example, if your user name is fred and you make a Vvidget Builder document named GnomeStudy with Graphic View width 400 and height 300 and save that document in your home folder's Site folder then its display is accessible to anyone on the Internet using this URL:

http://www.mydomain.com/graph.pvs?1&direct&document&2&400,300&~fred&GnomeStudy

Where www.mydomain.com is your own Internet address. (The Sharing pane will let you know what your address is. It states something like this: "View this computer's web sites at http://vvih132.vvi.com/ or your personal web site at http://vvih132.vvi.com/~fred/").

To incorporate the display of your document in a web page use this HTML:

<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/graph.pvs?1&direct&document&2&400,300&~fred&GnomeStudy">

You can also place a document in your web server's document directory, in which case it is accessible like this:

<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/graph.pvs?1&direct&document&2&400,300&GnomeStudy">

If you saved the document in the sub-folder Sites/chapter1/sectionA in your home folder then the URL would be:

<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/graph.pvs?1&direct&document&2&400,300&~fred&chapter1&sectionA&GnomeStudy">

i.e.: the folder names in the path are separated by ampersands (&) instead of slashes (/).

All the figures for this manual are actually imaged from Vvidget Builder documents in the same way. By doing it that way, their is no chance that (hypothetical) working documents are different than the figures in this document, because there is only one version.
