Attractive and Eye catching output formats in VC

Question

Hi Gurus,
I want to create some really attractive n eye catching graphical representations which i can put up in the 'management cockpit'. The usual pie charts , bar graphs r really boring now .. Can any of u help me. The output can be in the form of speedometer or gauges..e.g if i have a sales report which shows me the sales (amount) and i have a 'profit ' field .Now if i have the output in the form of speedometer wherein the needle points to the sales and in nother meter the needle points to corresponding profit ...and if i move the needle of sales meter the needle in the profit meter should move and point to the corresponding profit value ...Hope u guys understood what m in search for.

Hi Anshul,
1.Drag and drop you BI query into your iview.
2.From the input port of your query drag and drop an start point.
3.From the output port of your query drag and drop an output table iview and select the fields which you want to display in the table.(ex. customer name or month).
4.From the out port of your table drag and drop an form view.(from the popup don't select any fields since we need to display output in a gauge).
5.goto form properties and add an gauge UI component.
6.Goto the properties of that gauge component and under "general"  tab click formula button near the "expression" field.
7.In that popup expand "data fields", under it expand "output table" and from it select the required field whose value you need to display on the gauge.(ex:Sales_value or Profit_Value).
8.click Ok and save the model and run it.
if the user selects some field in the table the gauge will show the corresponding sales or profit value.
