Images - How to create images that can change depending on data
November 9. 2018
If you want to build charts or images that can change depending on data, here are some blog posts you should definitely read.
If you want to customise your app with custom dynamic visualizations that are not natively available in PowerApps, you must read these blog posts by David Nissimoff.
David shows how to create dynamic images that look like this, based on an input value (a currency amount in this example).
The technique relies on creating a base SVG image. SVG is a vector based image format and the technique involves writing math to define the appearance of the image. It's not a simple technique but the results look fantastic! Well done David.
Use case scenarios for this technique could include building spider, gnatt, or custom chart types are currently not available in PowerApps.
On the subject of charting, this other post by David shows how to build a scatter plot chart.
