Reverse axis values in xy chart - is it possible?

Hi gurus,
It seems like Xcelsius Enterprise SP3 doesn't give the option to reverse the values on my xy chart.
Default, the chart looks like this:
5 |
4 |
3 |
2 |
1 | _ _ _ _ _
--- 1 2 3 4 5
But I want to make it look like this (reversing the y-axis):
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 | _ _ _ _ _
--- 1 2 3 4 5
I know that line charts can sort the data, but haven't seen this option on the xy chart!
Have any of you managed to get this working?
Best regards,
Morten

Hi Eddie,
Here are a couple of white papers for you. This might be of help.

Access the X-axis value from Flash Chart

Hi,
Is there a way I can access the X-axis value from Flash Chart to populate a report in another page? My X-axis is not a direct column in the table it is computed in the query.
X-axis is MON-YEAR computed from the Begin_Date column. I want to capture the MON-YEAR clicked by the user to populate a report for that Mon-Year.
Here is my chart SQL.
select 'f?p=&APP_ID.:18:&SESSION.:::::::' link,
to_char( "VIEW"."BEGIN_DATE",'MON-YYYY') label,
sum(decode(TYPE_Id,2,Value,0)) "Value-1",
sum(decode(TYPE_Id,1,Value,0)) "Value-2"
from "VIEW" where to_char( "VIEW"."BEGIN_DATE",'MON-YYYY')= to_Char(sysdate-100, 'MON-YYYY')
group by to_char( "VIEW"."BEGIN_DATE",'MON-YYYY'),
to_char( "VIEW"."BEGIN_DATE",'YYYY')
order by to_char( "VIEW"."BEGIN_DATE",'YYYY')
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks Marco..

X-axis values on Custom charts

Hi,
I have a Custom chart with the Pen Type as Line.
If I plot a numerical values as the X-axis, the X-axis ranges do not come as expected.
e.g. If my data comes as shown below and I am plotting column A on the X-axis, then the
X-axis labels would read as 6,8,5,4,3.
Column A
8
6
5
4
3
When I plot a Line Chart with the same data, the X-axis labels come properly in order(3,4,5,6,8).
If I do an explicit sort on the X-axis column, then the Custom Chart gets plotted correctly, but the requirement is such that I cannot do an explicit sort on the dataset.
Can anybody help me out on this?
Thanks,
Amrita

The chart will plot them in data set order, so that is what you need to address. If your dataset is coming from an SQLQuery then do your sorting in the query or procedure. For non-sql results consider using the GenericSortFilter.xsl as an InlineTransform in your query template, or the sort filter action block in BLS if your chart is being fed by an XacuteQuery.

How to change axis values in Numbers

In v1.7 I have tried to change the axis values on existing charts but can't find how to do it...
So I tried to create bar charts from scratch in order to rebuild the old ones with the new axis data but I can't find out how to set any of the axis values on chart creation now!!
Has something changed - or am I just thick/blind?!!

Is it so difficult to read given answers ?
Barry described the correct scheme.
In the table "to_chart", the cell A1 contains :
=ROUNDUP(ABS(MIN(Tableau 1 :: B:E))/10,0)*10
The cell B2 embed the formula :
=$A$1+Tableau 1 :: B2
Apply fill down and fill to the right.
On the left edge, the colored rectangle is a text block in which I inserted the label values.
Of course if you dislike this scheme, you are perfectly free to use an other application.

X Axis label of Column Chart

Hello,
I am Plotting column chart based on the data present in datagridview;Column 1(having string Data Type) as my X axis value and Column Y as my Y axis value.On Column chart click event i am fetching x axis and y axis co-ordinates of my column chart and displaying
in Label on my form.But when i click it shows "0" as my x axis cordinate for the clicked column.
As my x axis is having labels as 06:00:00-07:00:00,07:00:00-08:00:00,..........
Below is image of my application
f Chart1.Series(0).Name = "Daily Data" Then
'Chart1.Series(0).XValueType = ChartValueType.Time
Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue.ToString()
'xval = xval.AddHours(Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue)
Label4.Text = "Selected Coordinates are: " & Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue.ToString & ", " & Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).YValues(0).ToString("f2")
End If
Else
If result.ChartElementType <> ChartElementType.Nothing Then
Dim elementType As String = result.ChartElementType.ToString()
Label4.Text = "Selected Element is: " & elementType
End If
End If

You need to get this example from Microsoft. It is a c# project code you just run it in Visual Studio. It shows most everything you can do with a chart. It shows the vb code when you run it and click the vb tab. Near the bottom of the left tree is Appearance
- Labels etc. Also under data types there are date and time examples. This link is also in the forum faqs at the top of the chart forum posts.
Chart examples.
I think you need to tell the chart to use datetime for the labels but I am not sure how and I am not too good with them but that is why I do this to learn things. I would just look in the chart examples from the link I show. That is how I answer most of
the questions here.
Can you reproduce your problem using the simple example from the other question? Otherwise I cant really do much.
Also, most times when you make a simple example you will find the problem or at least understand it better.
So take a look and come back if you cant get it I then I will try too.

Line chart cuts off x-Axis value

Hi All,
Have created a display to display an x-Axis value versus a Y-Axis value using a Line Chart. We want to maximize the chart space so we have removed the Legend from the display, problem is doing this cuts of part of the final x-Axis label and part of the final data point on the graph ? Why - can we move the borders out ?
Emmett

Emmett,
You can "Fake" some extra space out of the right side of the chart by setting the legend colors to blend into the background of the chart. This includes unchecking the "Use Pen Color?" box and setting the labels in the legend to match as well. Then simply set the legend to be whatever additional width you need. Other than this there's not really any other way that I can think of. Hope this helps.

How do I update the chart axis values??

I created a Gantt (bar chart) chart in Numbers for a project at work showing schedules. It looked fine, and everything worked great. I want to use that same chart, but I want to just update the data in it. I can get the bars to change, but the Y axis data (not the numbered values in the chart, but rather the the actual names out to the side of the chart) will not change. For instance....
Name
Start Date
Finish
Task 1
January 1, 2013
January 15, 2013
Task 2
February 1, 2013
February 15, 2013
The Tasks on the left will be the Y axis fields in a bar chart....and the dates will populate the graph. I've created my graph from this data and got it like I want it. Now let's say I want to simply change some things in the Name column:
Name
Start Date
Finish
New Task
January 1, 2013
January 15, 2013
Task 4
February 1, 2013
February 15, 2013
So without creating a new chart or anything, I just want to reflect the new names in my existing chart. In Excel, when you change the value data, it updates the chart and "it just works" . I'm wanting to use Numbers for this, and I feel like this is a simple thing that I'm just missing. Help!

Jerrold....thanks for the reply. While you didn't answer my question exactly (I know I was a bit vague), you did put me on the right path. I was trying to get the Category Axis values to change on the chart whenever I updated them in the table itself. I couldn't figure out why they weren't but I think I have now.
I noticed that in the Category Axis field (Inspector) it had the actual typed names of my tasks from the table instead of the cell locations. So...."Task 1" instead of "Table 1: C7". I cleared out all of the text in the Category Axis field, which removed it from the chart. then I just clicked on the fields in the table and it populated the Category Axis blank with the table/cell info instead of the text. So now when I update one of the fields, it updates the chart because it's pulling from the cell data every time.
I'm not really sure why Number, by default, enters the text into the Category Axis when making a chart instead of putting in the corresponding cell locations, but whatever. I got it working now and should be good to go going forward, thanks for your help.

Line Charts - X-axis Labels as function of X-axis value

Hi,
1) Is there a way to put X-Axis labels in line chart as function of X-axis values ?
For instance, X-axis values are in minutes and I need to show those as Hours.
I'm having Hours as separate column as well, but when its selected as X-axis value column, the line graph is disturbed.
2) Also, how to specify the length/range of X-axis ?
For instance, in dataset if I've x-axis values from 0 to 5 hours but still want to show on graph the X-axis till 8 hours.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
I have tried following things with proper datetime format may be help you.
1> in your applet code you can add below param
<PARAM NAME="XAxisDateFormat" VALUE="H">
it will display your levels in hours for more details please refer Date and Time Format under query template in MII help.
2>In your Query template under date range you can select duration and duration unit.
for 8 hour span you can select Duration = 8 and in duration unit = H
I have tested it for a tag query, may be i did not understand your issue properly but hope it helps you!!!

Interactive Report - Chart axis value wrong data

Hi,
we created an interactive report based on demo_orders table.
The interactive chart is displaying wrong data on the value axis (4,00000 instead of 4,000.00)!
Values in the table are ok, even the value displayed when user clicks on specific data point is correct.
Did somebody had similar problems?
Application Express 3.2.0.00.27
AnyChart #5.1.3
Thanks.
Regards,
Kristjan

Hi Kristjan,
I'm able to reproduce the issue you report, using an Interactive Report in APEX 3.2.1 and 4.0, where the Application Language is a non-English option. So for example, if my chart label in English is *10,000.00* and when I switch the Application Primary Language to German, then the displayed values should be *10.000,00* however it is incorrectly appearing as *10,000*. When running in some non-English languages, the NLS decimal separator used is a comma ',', but this isn't been correctly applied to the Interactive Report chart. The problem is arising from the fact that the decimal separator setting in the chart XML is not being escaped correctly, and is therefore being ignored. I've logged bug 10154666 to track this issue, and a fix for this will be available in our next release. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. In the meantime, and to ensure the values on your chart are accurately displayed, it might be best to create a separate chart region on the page in question, rather than using the Interactive report chart.

Hilary

Excel MSGraph Axis Value w/ Report Gentration Tool kit help needed

Hello,
I am working on making all my Printed Data sheets dynamic so I don't need to have an Excel Template for each test I create. I have been able to make my own modifications to some of the Report Generation tool kit VIs to add little things I need or want changed, but I am stuck.
I currently have LabVIEW writing Charts in Excel, using the Insert Graph VIs from the tool kit but I want to be able to make the X Axis Values invisible but leave the Y values for this particular data sheet. I have looked through all my documentation but cannot find anything referring to setting that.
What is the correct ActiveX Method and/or Property that I need to incorporate to do this? I found that in Excel if I click on the Chart it is in the Chart Options Menu but I cannot find a way to control it through LabVIEW.
I am currently using 7.1.1 with Office 98 and the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
LabVIEW should have access to everything that the excel ActiveX object publishes. One way to discover how to do it would be to record a macro in excel, where your recorded actions are on the x-axis as you desire. This way you will have a macro which you can run that will do this for you. Perhpas more importantly, you will then be able to look at the code for that macro you recorded, and make the equivalent calls in LabVIEW, which should basically expose which ActiveX calls on that object achieve the axis modification. In any event, to help you with this process, below are some useful links. Also, you will find other threads on this matter if you search the discussion forums.

Hint Values on Line Chart

When you setup a line chart, the LABEL portion of the SQL query becomes the X axis value on the line chart. When there are multiple series on a line chart, each series is its own distinct line. If the series has a LABEL that is not yet on the chart, it adds that label to the x axis at the end of the axis. If the new series has a LABEL that is already on the chart, then it places the Value on that existing place on the x-axis. This Label is also used in the Hint portion of the chart.
So lets compare the number of Sales per day of a Department across a length of time, say 3 months. So, on first working day on Jan dept A has 31 sales. On the second working day of January thay make 35 sales and so on until March 31. Our company doesn't work on weekends so we won't have sales on those dates. Dept B has their numbers for the same dates.
We setup a series for each month (Jan, Feb, March). Then we place the total number of orders for each date on the graph and connect the dots! Great! But wait, the more months I add, the shorter each line gets on the graph. What if we were comparing 3 years worth of data instead of 3 months. The x-axis would have 600-700 values instead of 60-70 values. Oh my.
What if we make each series of data its own line over the same scale? That way each month shows in the same space with the first day of the month at the left and the last day of the month near the right. Sounds good. But wait, we are now making up a scale. And when we do this, the Hints on the data points become meaningless. I want to show the actual date value in the hint but have the line over my custom X-Axis. What I need is an additional field that I can use to add to the Hint portion of the chart. Obviously, this would require using custom xml and a custom data element, but is this even possible given the constraints of the SQL syntax?
To visualize this issue better: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=28155:1
Austin

Andy -
I need to thank you for the direction on the substitution variables reference. That will be a major help.
However, i must correct a statement (underlining is mine)
So, if you switch to Custom XML and find the <tooltip> tag and add {%SeriesName} after the existing {%Name} entry, you end up with the _"day of the month" (which is your value)_ and the Series Name value, which is January - so, "1 January"This is a common misconception that the numeric value on the x axis represent the "day of the month" , when in fact it does not. You logically cannot use the day of the month for this type of axis. Why not? It is because weekends are excluded. So, one month may begin on a Friday. If that were the case then the 2nd of the month would be a Saturday, which would work for a single series of data. But what about when you add in the next month and it begins on a Tuesday. Well then, if you use the day of the month as the value, the 2nd day of the second series actually gets plotted after all the days of the first month.
The solution is that you have to generate a common arbitrary scale for all series of data. When you do that, you lose the date values.
I have tried to illustrate all of this by adding to the existing examples in the link provided above. Some other odd behaviors of using the day of the month as the x-axis value can be seen as well. I have also implemented the suggestion of adding the {%SeriesName} tag to the Hint via the custom xml.

How to display value in waveform chart

dear sir
i am using labview 7.0 with dsc module for scada.
now i want to display the difference between two tags value in waveform chart. Also i want to display that difference value on y axis and system date and time on x axis continously. Also if there will change in that tag value then there should be reflection of that value on wavwform chart with system time. Really i am in trouble. please help me.
falgandha mohire

Nadim,
Why would an XY graph be preferable to using a Waveform Chart where the "t0" is the time of the measurement?
I don't get it.

Stacked Bar showing VALUE literal instead of X axis value in hover hint

I am converting to APEX 3.0 and noticed that the new "Show Hint" doesnt display the X axis value on a Stacked bar. Instead it shows the literal "VALUE". For example, I am displaying the number of orders for a given day. X=date, Y = count. I was expecting the Hint to display "11/15/07, 15" but instead it displays "VALUE, 15".
This same sql displays correctly when I use it in a Line Chart.
Any ideas? Thank You

Bump...having same issue, still scanning message board for solution.

Change the Axis Labels of a Chart

The Chart-Series are generate through AS (Multiple PlotSeries and 1 LineSeries). I managed to Update the Visuell Areas (in this example to manipulate Vertical Axis (minimum/maximum values to be shown).
No I have 3 Questions about to manipulate this Chart with AS3:
I would like to remove nearly all "Ticks" and "Labels" from the Axis. At the End only the min/max and 0-Label-Value on the vertical Axis should be displayed. And on the vertical Axis, I would like only to have the min/max-Label and 100-Value.
The Chart-Lines (in the Screen above) only 2 Lines should be visible. v-Axis = 100 and x-Axis=0 (just as a Cross over the Chart)
The Linear Serie (just a Value of a Funktion like x=y*2) should have no Tooltip if you go MouseOver-it. And the Legend of this Serie should not be displayed in the Legend. How can I delete the Legend, and how can I preserve a DataTip over this LineSerie?
Hopefully you did understand my bad english.
Thanks for any Tips
Pawel

Hi,
1. IAxis interface have labelFunction (see docs for details and parameters for it). You can check the value to be labeled and return empty string if you don't want to show this value in axis. Axis you get from chart.getAxis(name). But there is not any warranty that always 0 will be shown. You showl implement your own IAxis to show only specific values. (Or search it in internet)
2. You should remove all these grid lines and create CartasianDataCanvas this lines at 0 and 100 and put it to annotationElements of the chart.
3. If you don't want to see all data from chart in Legend you should create an array with legend data only from serieses you want to see. Chart has a property legendData from all serieses. You can filter this array or create new array with legendData from serieses you want to see. And set this array as a dataProvider to Legend.
Hope, this helpful.

How to display axis labels on both x and y-axis of a column chart

hi,
i have an urgent requirement of having axis labels on both x and y axis
In x-axis i got it by sorting order also but in y-axis i'm unable to do
i need in y-axis ,my column values are L1,L2,L3,----L10these shuold display in y-axis in sorting order and 0 in axis should remain as it is ..........how to take the interval ....? as of now i'm using Auto
my y-axis values shud look like 0,L1,L2,L3,L4,----L10can anyone get perfect solution
thanx in advance
lucky

Hi Lucky,
Per my understanding that you want to display the values(Column1) like "L1,L2,L3....L10" which comes from the "Series group" in the Y-Axis label and keep the row group in "Category group" to
display in the x-axis and Numric column(1,2,3,4) in the "Value", right?
Gernerally the lable display in the y-axis is automatically based on the value of the Numric column in the "Value" and it default is numbric labels.
I have tested on my local environment and in your scenario, i suggest to hide the axis lable of the y-axis and create an tablix to only show the one column contains the values (L1,L2,L3,L3) to display in the place of the hidden y-axis label.
Detais information about to design an new y-axis label ae below for your reference:
Create an tablix to display only the row group of the "Column1" ( for the
Column1 may have duplicate values, you can create parent row group for this column and hide the detail column by setting the "Column Visibility").
Right click the y-axis to select the "Vertical Axis Properties" and select the "Labels" on the left pane to check the "Hide Axis labels"
Select the Chart Area and in the properties set value of left=0 under the CustomPosition:
Set the border style=None for both the Chart and Column1's row group
Drag the tablix at the position near the hidden y-axis and set the size of both the chart and the tablix to make the value in the tablix row group(Column1) to be align with the y-axis label:
Right click the "Chart legend" to delete or hide the legend
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
