Examples of creating flow charts

Hi, im wanting to create a flow chart of what im about to code in Labview. Is there good examples of flow charts or tutorials on how to do them?. As im a bit rusty.

Spending time on the design before coding is essential for complicated projects. I think it does not matter too much exactly what format or technique you use so long as you understand it and are consistent. I often start with a text document which lists the main requirements. If the user interface is significant, I create a list of user inputs to the program and outputs from the program which will be displayed to the user. Then I make a list of tasks which the program must perform.
Then I get another pencil and create a state chart or flow chart or some hybrid of the two.
Then I go back and refine each of these parts. For example beside each front panel control (on the user inputs list) I indicate whether a change in the control will generate an event, whether it needs to be disabled under certain conditions, whether there are other parameters associated with it, and so on. The task list will be expanded to list inputs, outputs, and the basic function of the task. A flow chart per state can be generated. Additional cycles of refinement can be added as needed.
Now, open LV and start coding.
Reviews at various stages should be included as appropriate.

How do you create flow chart in Photoshop?

I am trying to make a massive flowchart in Photoshop but connecting the arrows, lines, etc is a total pain in the butt. Is there a template, or a better way to do it? It is very easy in excel, power point and so on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For clean illustrations you'll need a vector graphics program.
Adobe Illustrator comes into mind, but until some time ago a line with arrow
appeared longer by arrow length than the line without arrow....a really idiotic
behaviour.
Better use InDesign. This programm is probably not intended for these graphics,
but for me it's really very pleasant (if you redefine a plain line as a line with arrow,
then the line keeps it's length).
There are all necessary features, lines with different arrows, stroked or/and filled
boxes, typographical text in vector quality, grouping etc. etc.
Here's an example:
http://docs-hoffmann.de/cmsflow03072013.pdf
My suggestion is based on a quiet workflow, doing everything manually, besides
group, copy and paste.

Help with creating basic flow-charting app

Hello,
Warning: I am a Total Flex Newbie, but experienced programmer (C#, Ruby/Rails, ...)
I am coming up to speed with Flex and want to dive in and improve my proficiency by creating a basic flow-charting app.
The app will consist of a canvas plus a limited set of resize-able objects that will reside in a "tools" container. These objects can be selected, dragged onto the canvas, connected to each other using a "connector" object -- either straight or right-angled lines, with the ability to be moved around the canvas while retaining their connections.
That's it.
I have been searching the forums and the web for pointers on how to start; but while I have found many related posts, I have not found enough to get me started.
I would appreciate any pointers to example code or tutorials on how to approach/get started on this app.
Thanks in advance!
Dondi.

Hi there, you can check out Chet Haase app Top Drawer, this app has a lot of the functionality that you want I think,

Created a flow chart and now cant' edit

I created this flow chart and now it just acts like a regular object and I cant edit it anymore.

Welcome to the forum!
Was the chart copied from some other application? Were all the elements grouped (under the Arrange menu, is Group greyed out)? Is it perhaps locked (are the control handles Xs instead of boxes)?

Creating a dynamic flow chart

Hello,
I'm new to Flex (just downloaded the FB3).
I need to create a web interface which displays a flow chart.
New nodes (actions, decisions) may be added or deleted.
Any hints on how to do this?
Thanks,
Zohar.

The data that generates the chart is just a SQL statement and, like for reports, can be filtered based on the value of a field item.
I would suggest having a hidden field above the chart that will contain the value you want to filter by (eg, "1"), then update the branch to set this value, then update your chart's SQL statement to include a WHERE clause (eg, "WHERE Item = :FILTER").

Signal flow chart for using DIO on 5640R

Hi,
There are a bunch of good templates to get me started with analog I/O but not for digital I/O. My project needs the host to send out a value through digital lines @10MHz. Now I have a few basic questions regarding the standard procedures to work with DIO?
1. what are the essential items in the signal flow chart on host? Open session->configuration->write->initialization->close session?
2. What are the differences of opening a session using FPGA VI Reference.vi and 5640 init Generation Session.vi? They are not interchangable.
3. Do I have to use a FIFO to transfer data between FPGA and host in this case?
At last, I highly recommend ni group to create a working template for DIO. If easy modification to analog I/O template can work for DIO, please show to how, that'll be great.
Thank you.
Dan

Hi Dan,
The basic flow of programming on the Host for digital output would be similar to:
Open FPGA Reference >> Configuration (as needed) >> Write to FPGA >> Close session
You could use a FIFO to pass data between the host and the FPGA or you could just pass data via controls and indicators. I have included an example project which passes data from the host to a control on the FPGA VI. If you are transferring the data as a 32-bit unsigned integer then you will need to manually format and control the way it is output from the FPGA VI. There is not a pre-made function to do that.
As for testing, you can manually probe the pins on a connector with a DMM. Here is the pinout for the AUX connector.

MM - PO process flow chart

MM Gurus , Can any one help me to provide me with the MM PO and Change PO process flow diagram .Pl send me the diagram or links to my email ID
Thanks in advance .Will give you points
James
[email protected]

Dear James,
Process Flow:
1)Determination of Requirements: Through MRP, purchase requisitions
2)Source Determination: helps you identify potential sources of supply, creating requests for quotation (RFQs
3) Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations: The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios
4) Purchase Order Processing: information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. scheduling agreements and contracts are also supported.
5) Purchase Order Follow-Up: The system checks the reminder periods you have specified. up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6) Goods Receiving and Inventory Management: Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number
7) Invoice Verification: The system supports the checking and matching of invoices, and clearing invoices for payment.
Flow Chart for PO & MM process :
RFQ (ME 41) --> Maintain Quotation ( ME 47) -> Price comparision ( ME 49)>
-->Create PR ( ME 51 N) --> Create PO ( ME 21N) --->
> Good Receipt wrt PO( MIGO)> Invoice Verification wrt PO ( MIRO)
I hope this will suffice your need & if satisfied please reward points,
Vivek

How to create a chart with dates?

I've created a table with projects I have to deliver and the date they were delivered. I would like to create a chart from this data - however I can't figure out how to use date in the chart.
Ideally the chart would work with the date (lets say from jan 01 to april 5) on the x-axis and the project on the y-axis. And a line that goes from time A (which marks the initial part of the project) to the time B (which marks the delivery date) defined on the table.
Is it possible?
heres a pic of what i mean:

Hi Jerry,
I'm ALMOST there! If you could help me with one last thing it would be amazing. I've uploaded my number project and you can downloaded it on the link bellow, if you prefer.
I managed to do the same idea chart as you have. However I would like to have two bars for every JOB (y-axis). On my table i've inputed for every job 4 values = START DATE that was scheduled / Duration period scheduled (this happens prior to the job itself // START DATE Delivered / Duration Period Delivered (this is the actual time the JOB took place). This way I can see at the end of a JOB if I worked during the period I planned.
using your example on the chart above (your reply) Could Proposal have a bar 1.0 / 4.0 - and bellow this bar have another one (with different colours) that went from 2.0 / 5.0 - for example? - the first one representing the "scheduled dates"and the second one representing what actually happened.
I managed to do the four bars but couldnt manage to have them bellow each other.
Tks again for your help

How to create this chart in Numbers?

The sample chart such as following web site:
http://gallery.mac.com/chouwenpo#100008/-E5-9C-96-E7-89-87-203&bgcolor=black
I want to create this chart by "line+symbol chart".
The x-axis need to be an "interval".
Please, help me if you know how to do this.
Thank you a lot.
wenpo

I do appreciate your kindness reply.
Please let me repost my question and express my concern again
I look forward from you guys.^^ I do need your help!
Thanks again.
<<Question repost>>
for example:
Assume we have 10 (x, y) pairs as below:
(10,10), (12,23), (47,9), (63,24), (88,100), (150,41) ,(155,166), (188,2), (198,58) and (500,200). Each (x,y) pair is a single point in the graph.
If we use Scatter chart to handle these data, the output graph is fine but not suitable for me to use.
I wish there will be a trend line between two of each independent points of Scatter graph, and obtain a graph just like the output graph as used in Line chart (line+symbol).
That is, in Line chart, the values of x-axis(with equal-width intervals) are categorical; however, my data is ordinal value or continuous value (like Time, Concentration...etc.). I wish this software has the ability to show the interaction between each points.

How to make a form from a flow chart.

I want to make a flow chart into a form for a website. For example, I have a flow chart that leads to various solutions based on yes/no answers. I want the user to be able to enter in yes or no, and be directed to further questions or answers based on the answers they provide. Is there an easy way to approach this? Perhaps a form is not the best method?

Ajax (Javascript) would have an edge over PHP in regards to responsiveness. The best solution might combine all three methods (PHP, Javascript, HTML).
Are the responses going to be stored in a database? If so then you can also use the database to store the questions, complete with form fields.
One big difference between javascript and PHP is that PHP does nothing until you either open a new page or hit submit, and then it runs in a linear fashion until it reaches the end of the script. Javascript, on the other hand, can respond to other "events" that take place, such as when the user clicks away from a form field. With the advent of html5, HTML now has a little of the responsiveness of javascript.
PHP is the tool you use for processing form data and interacting with the database, if each form response is followed by a complete PHP processing cycle, the form will seem sluggish to the user. There are two solutions to this:
Have the user respond to a group of questions, then hit submit. The occasional lag for page reload won't bother the user.
Use AJAX to interact with the PHP form processing behind the scenes.
So yes, you can have one page that responds and changes depending on user input. PHP, javascript and HTML5/CSS3 can all be part of this. The specific way you build your solution will depend on your specific form progress and what technologies you are most comfortable with. For instance, my strong case is PHP, so I let it do as much of the work as possible, but I know coders who do much of what I would do in PHP with javascript, because that's what they are most comfortable using.
Any resources on how I might be able to do this via PHP?

How to create a chart with x and y input arrays

I am trying to create a chart that receives chunks of data from a while loop. I know how to create a chart in order to append new data points to those points already in the display, but a regular chart doesn't let me specify the x axis data points. Is there a way to create a chart with x and y array inputs?
Thanx,
Tom

It's called an XY Graph. If you need an XY graph to behave like a chart, look at the shipping example called XY Chart.

How to generate Flow Chart from Program Source Code easily and automatically.

It is very crucial to have a clear mind when faced with abstract codes for software engineers and program developers. As always, the programmers have had an overall structure in your mind and then process the design with source code. The structure can somehow be so complex that it becomes hard to cope with gradually. More often than not, you will get stuck when you process to some extent. However, codes can’t speak and present themselves in a straightforward way. You are eager to find out a straightforward layout to transfer those abstract codes to visible flowchart, aren’t you? Do you know there's code to flowchart software tools online? This tool can help you make a flowchart from source code automatically, here I will introduce you a great code to flowchart converter software.

The generated flowchart can be used to review source code. It will help examine the whole process of a program and check where errors exist when users are verifying source codes. You will never be worried about the complex program structure with the powerful code to flowchart creator tool.

Dear Chuck,
I have used Google and other search engines intensively since years. What I need (and this is why I've opened this thread actually) is a suggestion for a product from someone that has already used it. That could also save me time instead of searching, installing, trying, and eventually deinstalling at random. After all, the forum should allow to exchange knowledge and experience with people having similar interests.

Flow chart builder in JSP

we have a requirement like this :
We have to create a flow chart diagram like on JSP load I have to show start and end cubes.Then after that under start i can create another cube showing some information and like wise the chart will carry grow and ultimately it will end before the end cube.I have to show that chart in jsp and also capture all the data in the database so that it can shown once more .Let me know how can i achieve that

First off, put JSPs to the back of your mind. JSPs are for wrapping HTML around some data values. If you need to show generated graphics JSP will play a very minor role.
When designing an application I typically approach from each end. What will the user see? Work out some steps the user will take to build his chart. This is the front end.
Then consider the back end. How will your diagrams be stored, and on what kind of storage. You'll probably want a database to store them. What kind of structures? Then you work inwards to join the front end to the back end.
Nobody here is going to design or build this application for you, designing and building applications is what we do for a living. If you want someone to do the job for you you want the rent-a-code site.
