Senior Project - WEDGIE

Eclipse, Inc. is a leading provider of enterprise software for end-to-end supply chain management. Founded in 1991, Eclipse has quickly become a market leader with over 25,000 users throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Eclipse enables distributors to improve their business efficiency by streamlining several traditional distribution processes. Eclipse has established itself as a leader in several market segments including Plumbing, HVAC, PVF, Electrical, Building Materials, Industrial, Paper and other durable goods supply industries. Integrated business applications including Sales Management, Inventory Management, Finance and Accounting, Business Intelligence and Warehouse Automation are among the essential elements that leverage the business rules set forth by the Eclipse Application Framework. Collectively, these components work together to help optimize the flow of information throughout the supply chain.

The goal of this project was to develop a data-graphing package integrated with Eclipse's current Java client structure to communicate with the server machine running on a UniVerse database on AIX. The graphing package is able to accept sets of data and graph them in multiple different representations including a bar chart, pie chart, and line chart, in both 2D and 3D versions. These data points also have "drill down" functionality to filter the data sets and view more specific information. This capability seamlessly integrates to gather the information from the host database. The system was written using the Java JDK 1.3 in interaction with the current client interface that Eclipse has in place.
