2 Keynote chart questions

I'm trying to build a series of 14 different data charts in Keynote. I'm having problems creating two...
Chart 1 (Line-format): This is for "Average Time" spent on a helpdesk call. For the Y-axis, I can't figure out a way to input data in a Minute:Second format (the X-axis is the months of the year).
For example:
Jan - 5:32
Feb - 6:38
Mar - 2:43, etc.
Chart 2 (Column-format): Ideally, I'd like to compare two different data types on a single chart. This for "Server Availability"... the X-axis are the months, with the left-side Y-axis being % of availability, and the right-side Y-axis featuring number of hours unavailable.
For example:
Jan: 99.77% availability/1.68 hours unavailable
Feb: 99.62% availability/2.77 hours unavailable
Mar: 99.70% availability/2.19 hours unavailable, etc.
Thoughts?, Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions, Unisphere.
Keynote's charting abilities are relatively rudimentary, and I don't believe it can handle either of the two chart types you want. Your best bet is to do up the charts in another application and paste them in. A post on another thread mentioned the freeware application Plot, which will definitely do two Y-axes plots, and may be able to handle time-based plots as well -- this might be a simple solution.

Editing colors of Keynote chart data series

I am attempting to edit a Keynote chart (Scatter plot) with 3 data series. I selected the first Chart option which plots the data by color (Blue, red, white). I do not see an option to adjust or change the default colors. In the "Edit Chart Data" dialog, the series colors appear at the column head but there is no apparent way to change the default color. The white data series wouldn't be so bad except that the background of the chart is also white.

A pie chart shows the proportions that make up the total, therefore what your chart actually shows is a $150 transaction with $50 profit.
The definition of profit is: total price less expenses, then the pie chart should show:
Profit in a $100 sale

I am using pages designing a flow chart, question "I seem to have an issue with the arrows that you can add text to, it appears I can not move the point of the arrows up or down they only switch from left to right.

Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

Keynote charts

Is there a way to move the text independent of the chart in Keynote? My words on the bottom of the chart keep interfering with the actual chart objects but they all seem to be linked together. Thanks.

No. The 0.7 is limited as to where it will go because of the thickness of the slice of information.
There are no 'hooks' in Pages or Keynote to separate the text for the axis names from the body of the graphic, nor to place the names above or below (instead of 'x distance from the top') the graphs in question (even above would be better in your case, especially useful if one could do that for each separate value)
Send feedback, and be specific (and polite) with possibly a link to the problem so that they understand completely what the issue is.

I want data series in Keynote chart to enter one at a time.

In older version of Keynote, data series can enter one at a time. In version 6.2, seems all series enter at once. Can different series be made to enter one at a time in Keynote 6.2?

Select the chart
Inspector > Animate > Build IN > Add an Effect
choose an effect

2D Line Chart question

I have Apex 3.1 . I have created a 2D Line chart with for different series (so there are 4 lines on one chart). I also have a Legend on the left side next to the chart to label whatr each line is for. In my query for those lines I have the Name for the Legend as all CAPS but it shows up as first letter capital and the rest lower case. Is there a way to force it to all upper case?
The second question I have is that underneath the legend I would like to have some type of text box were I can write a couple lines to help explain what is going on in the graph. Is there a way to do that?

You basically have only a couple of options here:
First, turn off the labels and possibly turn them into Hints. They wouldn't show on the chart, but when the user held over the data point, a tool tip would appear showing them the valuable.
Second, adjust elements of the chart. What you are really looking at here is that your data set is causing this specific issue and not the charting engine or anything like that. You could try to manually change the axis max and min to get more spacing, or you could adjust the height of the chart to get more spacing, but this may not be a viable option. You could have one set of labels above the plotted line and another set of labels below the plotted line that way the values do not overlap with anything. However, from a conceptual standpoint, it will be difficult to determine in code which line should have values above and which should have values below. When your data set changes, you may end up with labels in the wrong place if you hard code where they are at.
The current XML reference can be found at: http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/xmlReference/index.html however, that is for anychart 5. I'm looking for the link to the earlier versions...
You can use this to create custom xml where you can adjust the position of the labels.
Finally, you do not want expand the height of the chart between two points on the Y axis. That would change the structure of the chart and the visual properties of the chart and the shape of the data would be askew. You cannot do this for good reason. You can though use a logrithmic scale. In most cases though, this is not a practical solution. Data sets need to have very specific characteristics in order to be able to merit a logrithmic scale. Most queries require a simple linear scale.

Chart question with, I'm sure, a simple answer (That I can't seem to figure out). Fixed 'time frame' on time axis.

Hello all.
I'm using charts to record data coming from vibration sensors on a bearing testing rig.
The problem I have (or rather the users have) is that the chart seems to only show a minute or so 'window' of data and it moves along through the day that way. Adding a scrollbar on the axis helps, but doesn't give a real 'picture' of a specified time range.
We'd like to have the time range of the chart be about 12 hours. Is there a simple way in properties that you can set the chart to show 'last X amount of time'? Or at least something greater than a minute!
Thanks for bearing with me. There seemed to be several posts sorta similar to this, but none really addressing the exact issue.
Still confused after 8 years.

Hi Ralph,
> I'm really, really confused.
Don't feel alone, this was not obvious to me either.
Here is an example in LV 8.5
You can set the log interval and the number of hours to be displayed.

CFCHART - Line Chart Questions - CF7

Hi Folks -
I have a few questions about CFCHART in CF 7 and I am hoping
that maybe different users can answer them:
The following questions relate to creating a line chart.
1) Is there a way to control the gridlines yourself, and not
use the values for the lines that CFCHART presents?
1A) If you have to accept the values that CFCHART gives you,
is there a way to control the actual rounding of the values? Right
now I am getting 3 decimal places, and I would prefer whole
numbers.
2) Is there an issue with displaying negative values? I have
a chart that ranges from -255 to 100,000 and has 10 grid lines. But
the -255 does not display. I get 0, the rest of the lines, except
for the 9th line.
<cfchart chartheight="300" chartwidth="450" font="@Arial
Unicode MS" scalefrom="-255" scaleto="100000"
gridlines="10" xaxistitle="Month" yaxistitle="Total"
format="png" labelformat="number">
<cfchartseries type="line" serieslabel="Review">
<cfchartdata item="Jan" value="2569">
<cfchartdata item="Feb" value="65535">
<cfchartdata item="March" value="-57">
<cfchartdata item="April" value="75778">
<cfchartdata item="May" value="89955">
<cfchartdata item="June" value="39898">
<cfchartdata item="July" value="0">
<cfchartdata item="August" value="12560">
<cfchartdata item="Sept" value="-255">
<cfchartdata item="Oct" value="767">
<cfchartdata item="Nov" value="6868">
<cfchartdata item="Dec" value="37352">
</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>
Any and all questions and answers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

You can specify scaleFrom and scaleTo by hardoced values or
dynamic variables and number of gridlines. If you not specified
first two attributes, then by default, the minimum is 0 or the
lowest negative chart data value, and the maximum is the largest
data value.
To avoid decimals in your case empirically find good
combination for your scale, for example from - 500 to 10 000 and
number of gridlines = 12.

Simple Flex Chart question - Plot Chart labels

I'm playing around with displaying data from WDA as charts in Flex 3.
I'm able to bind my internal table, which has 3 fields, to the plot chart.
The table looks like this
ext_id      type string    " bound to prjname in Flex
cost         type string    " bound to prjcost in Flex
benefit     type string    " bound to prjbenefit in Flex
These are all bound to my island's DataSource.
I have bound these in Flex and the Cost and Benefits are showing up as points on my chart. However, I can't seem to get the Project Name to display on the plot points. All I see when I mouse over the point is EXT_ID, and the values for cost and benefits.
The cost/benefit values are coming across correctly, just not the project name (ext_id) value. any ideas?
here's the Flex code for the chart
     [Bindable]
     public var dataSource:ArrayCollection;
     [Bindable]
     public var prjcost:String;
     [Bindable]
     public var prjbenefit:String;
     [Bindable]
     public var prjname:String;.
    <mx:PlotChart id="plotchart1" dataProvider="{dataSource}" showDataTips="true">
       <mx:series>
            <mx:PlotSeries displayName="{prjname}" yField="{prjcost}" xField="{prjbenefit}" dataProvider="/>
        </mx:series>
    </mx:PlotChart>

This is really a Flex question not an Islands specific one. I don't think the displayName properity is what you want to use here. This is the name for the entire series as it will be displayed in the legend. I think what you want is a dataTip. You register a callback for the dataTip rendering and then fill the custom dataTip quick info.
This is an example from a bar chart, but the theory is the same:
<mx:BarChart id="barChart" dataTipFunction="dtFunc" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" type="clustered" width="100%" showDataTips="true" height="100%">
     <mx:verticalAxis>
          <mx:CategoryAxis categoryField="{SalesOrd}" dataProvider="{dataSource}" />
     </mx:verticalAxis>
     <mx:series>
          <mx:BarSeries id="bsGross" xField="{grossAmt}" displayName="Gross Amount" dataProvider="{dataSource}" fill="{otdFill}" showDataEffect="{slideIn}" />
          <mx:BarSeries id="bsNet" xField="{netAmt}" displayName="Net Amount" dataProvider="{dataSource}" fill="{rtyFill}" showDataEffect="{zoomIn}" />
     </mx:series>
</mx:BarChart>
private function dtFunc(hd:HitData):String {
              switch(BarSeries(hd.element).id){
                   case "bsGross":
                         return "Sales Order #: " + hd.item.SO_ID + "\n" + FlashIsland.formatNumber(hd.item.TTL_GROSS_AMOUNT) + " " + hd.item.CURRENCY_CODE;
                         break;
                   case "bsNet":
                         return "Sales Order #: " + hd.item.SO_ID + "\n " + FlashIsland.formatNumber(hd.item.TTL_NET_AMOUNT) + " " + hd.item.CURRENCY_CODE;
                         break;
              return "Amount";

Custom colors for Keynote charts?

I'm using the charts in Keynote for the first time, and I'm finding it surprising inflexible.
As far as I can tell, I can not choose custom colors but have to choose between a few color sets chosen by Apple. Is that right?
I would like 3 columns, with a 1, 2, 3 build order, in Red, White, and Blue. That seems pretty straightforward, but I can not see a way to make the red, white, and blue.
thanks
John
PS: I really don't like the way that Jony Ives has imposed his personal preference for Helvetica Neue Light all over Apple products, applications, and websites.

Keynote Chart is driving me mad...please help

Hi, Can someone please help me with this problem..I'm already getting fedup thinking of not using iwork ever again.
I'm trying to do a scatter chart with the following results
58 -2.5 33 -7
15 0.25 15 -14
19 -6 67 -11.5
25 -10 44 -20
45 -20
44 -15
66 -8.5
22 -19
The chart however for some reason plots an extra point at 0/0. This problem doesn't happen when using numbers but if i drag the chart to keynote , keynote adds this extra point. Tried every possible solution i can think of with no success.
Can someone pleaaaaaaase help! Thank you.

I did both, Did the chart in numbers and dragged it to keynote and also did the chart from scratch in keynotes by copy/pasting the data. Both ways i got an extra 0/0 point plotted on the graph.

Charts question / limitation?

I have been tasked with pulling together a chart that conveys results of a customer satisfaction survey that contains 6 questions. Each question has a measurement score on each of 1 to 5.
What I am trying to do is for each question, I want to stack the bars, and show all questions.
The chart above is only an example. What I need the chart to look like is outlined below.
Title - Survey Results - I know how to change titles and labels.
X - Axis - want each question to be a stacked bar, I know how to add the label value for each color and change the label.
I can get as far as showing the correct scores for one set of survey results, but it appears that CR has a limit of two items for the top "On Change Of"
items. I am only needing to use the items that are numbered 1-3
Can what I am attempting be done in CR 2011?
Glen

Hi Rudolf,
What you could do is pass the array which you feed to the graph via the array subset function and control the index and length to limit the number of stacked displays.

Tricky Stacked Bar Chart Question

This question is written as clearly as I could think to write it. It's a bit bewildering, but I'd really appreciate if you could take the time to think about how I can do this!
I have data like so:
Column 1: X-axis labels (People's names),
Column 2: Units Type 1,
Column 3: $Amount Type 1,
Column 4: Units Type 2,
Column 5: $Amount Type 2
3 Rows each start with a person's name (the X-axis label), followed by their data corresponding to the above columns.
I want to make a total of 6 stacked bars:
Units Type 1 and $Amount Type 1, for each of the three people. Then,
Stacked on top, Type 2 Units on Type 1 Units and Type 2 $Amount on Type 1 $Amount (for their respective people).
Units are between 0 and 100 and $Amounts are between $0 and $1,000,000.
Is it possible to set 2 y-axis scales on the same chart?
How can I set which columns are stacked on what?
If it's impossible, just say so. That will help too!
Thanks again,
Mike

Here is a suggestion.
It requires three superposed charts.
Chart 2 and Chart 3 have a transparent background.
Only Chart 2 display X axis values.
Only chart 1 display Y axis values
The Y axis values for Units are inserted by hand in a text block.

Charting question

Post Author: elooto
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I've only just started using Crystal Reports and I have a question on charting.
I want to chart sales data. The Crystal Reports Wizard allows me to chart total company sales and then drill down to division, region etc.
The problem I have is that I don't want to chart absolute sales values, but YoY%. Unfortunately although I can see how you set up formulae in Crystal I cannot see how I can set up a drill down report on this!
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Could you provide an example, ie... what you are getting, what you would like to get, or some sample data, and the setup of your chart.

Strange "Line" on keynote charts

I have just opened an existing presentation in Keynote V6 and most of the charts have a thin "ghost" line appearing below the underline that I use beneath my slide titles. The line is not selectable on the main chart - and if I switch to editing the master it does not even show.
It is almost as if it is on some kind of background - but I cannot see how one would locate/edit that.
Anyone got any ideas as to what this is and how I might remove it?
Keynote version is 6.2.2

If it wasn't for the fact that I have the pdf file that includes the mystery line I could be convinced that I'm going crazy!
Decided to produce a one page version of the presentation and take a look at the underlying XML to see if I could find it that way.
Opened the presentation - no more mystery line! It had survived several save/reopen sequences - but this time it is gone!
I'll leave this thread open for a time to see if it reappears - but for now my immediate problem is gone!
