XForms/Venn Diagram
< XForms
Motivation[edit | edit source]
You want to interactively change Venn Diagram parameters.
Method[edit | edit source]
Use XForms range controls to change values in a form. Use the bind to concatenate input parameters. Use the incremental attribute to allow the user to see the changes as the range controls change. Sending a submit will alter the Venn Diagram REST parameters.
