3d chart axis names

Using Numbers 3.5.2. I have a table of temperature measurements from 10 locations over time - one set of temperatures taken each minute. Each Location has an Address (in hexadecimal) that I want hidden from the chart.
I want to create a three-dimensional line chart with one line per location, temperature on the Y (vertical) axis, time on the X-axis (horizontal), and the locations on the Z-axis (front to back). I can get the temperature as a line, with the correct labels. But I cannot get the time and location working correctly.
I have tried every way I can think of to arrange the data columns, select the data columns, and instruct the chart, but cannot get the desired results.
First of all, I don't know how Numbers names the various axes. Second, there don't seem to be ways to match the data column to the axis.
Sample data:
Address
Location
Date Time
Celsius

I think Numbers can print a 3D like chart. In your case the three axis are:
X = location
Y = date/time
Z = temperature
however, then format of your data is not well formed for plotting this way.
The data must be:
Date Time
Room Air
Outside Air

2015-02-27 11:57
Date/Time in a column
location across
then the Z axis, temperature data, in the body of the table
you can try to coerce Numbers into doing this.
You could also consider have two tables:
1) where you paste the data in its' original form
2) a destination table in the format I showed used as the source of a chart. An Applescript could take information from the first table and munge it into the second table

Creating axis names by programming

Hello again. I tried to define the axis names with different units by programming instead of doing in the graph properties. As in my vi, I wired each axis name corresponding to the unit input to the graph property node, but it didn't come out correctly. I can't even see all graphs in the waveform chart which I defined each graph name already. How can I deal with it?

How do I rotate chart axis labels?

Trying to rotaet chart axis labels for the x-axis, but would like to know the same for the y-axis too. Know the solution for a text box, but doesn't seem to work for the axis labels.

Hi Martin,
The solution is the same for X and Y labels. Select the labels and then set the rotation angle, either in the Format Bar or in the Metrics Inspector.

How to display PIE chart Axis label horizontally?

Hi
Currently my PIE chart axis label is displying in 2 lines. How make it to display in one line?
Thank you

hi,
For Pie chart there will be no X-axis or Y-axis terms generally.
Label/Text could be one of the following.
Title?
or Sub Title?
or Foot note?
Right Click -> Format Title . Reduce the font size such that it fits into a single line.

Chart Axis: Label Renderer pixel width

Am using custom label renderer for Chart Axis labels.
CustomLabelRenderer extends label
override public function set data(value:Object):void
if(value is AxisLabel){
dataValue = String(value.text);
else{
dataValue = String(value);
I would like to get the Width of the Label component in PIXELS on runtime.
Can you please tell me how I can get the pixel width of the labels that gets updated when user changes the screen resolution.
Please let me know ASAP.
Thanks

See this example and the related thread:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:222
Basically, you need to customize the chart XML. That is quite easy to do.

Chart File Name

Hi,
I've a report with a chart document.
I do not want to mention any path in REPORTS60_PATH,
also hardcode the path with the chart filename.
Suppose if I run the report from a client system, I get the error 'Chart Document Not Found'.
Is there any way to change the chart file name dynamically,
so as to attach the path to the filename??

OK, I am still unable to accomplish what I was hoping to with registry settings. I know it's possible, I'm just unsure of how to do it. Here's what I did to workaround.
For the Chart File Name property I used the network mapping technique such as:
\\server_name\prodappl\custom_top\graphs\chart.ogd
This will embed the graphic and read the file on the server location specified in both Previewer and through the Application.

Problem replacing chart axis title with &string. syntax

Apex 4.1.1
Hi,
I am having a problem replacing a chart axis title with substitution syntax &P5_MYFIELD., where P5_MYFIELD is an item with Source Type PL/SQL Function Body:
begin
return web_message.show('LASTNAME', 'dk');
end;
The Item is defined on the same Page as the chart in a different region. I can see that function is working ok, because the return value is displayed in P5_MYFIELD.
There is a second item in an other region on the same page where the source value is defined with substitution syntax &P5_MYFIELD. It also displays the expected value. But when I use the string &P5_MYFIELD. as axis title it is not displayed.
I also defined a field P0_MYFIELD on Page Zero with the same function, when I reference that with &P0_MYFIELD. as axis title on Page 5 the value is displayed correctly. I tried the same with a field on Page 1, &P1_MYFIELD. and it is displayed correctly.
I think, the chart axis title must be substituted before the item P5_MYFIELD is executing the PL/SQL function body to get its value. Can anyone tell me why?
We want to use string substitution syntax to translate all our labels in different languages. I would like to create hidden items with source type PL/SQL function body for all labels on a page and reference these values as label definitions. I would like to place them on the same page as the labels.
Thanks
Anne

I started the application again and now also the Items are not displayed, only the message 'Label not defined', so I probably did something wrong with the computation. Why the correct values were shown during the first run, I do not know, maybe i did not logout in between.
Here is the debugging information, but I cannot see any error message:

Now the correct value is displayed again in the P5_MYFIELD, because I had to set the item source back to PL/SQL Function body, but I am still getting the chart error and the chart is not displayed.

Urgent: Chart Axis with Min, Max, Help needed.

Hi guys,
I am rushing on a report submodule in our application, which will go on live in a short time. We need to have charts which use min and max value from the table and calculate the appropriate interval as the scale of the axis, instead of the default interval.
I also tried to put page items into the Min&Max in the chart attributes, but always got the error message that asks for a number.
I have searched the forum and the conclusion I can made now, is that HTMLDB does not support parameterized value for chart axis.
So, my question is: if I have to do it manually, how should I do it? I don't have much experiences in pl/sql, so really need some help here.
Any input is appreciated.

Does anybody know whether a chart can be built on a collection? I've tried but didn't succeed.
If somebody has experiences on this, please let me know, so I won't waste more time on trying it if the answer is no. Thanks.

Tool tips on chart axis

Is there a way to create a dynamic tool tip for the labels on
the chart axis. For example I have a bar chart that shows the
quantity ordered in 5 categories. I want to be able to add a tool
tip to the category label on the vertical axis to help explain what
the category is. I need this tool tip to change based on the
category that is rolled over. I'm assuming I should be able to do
something with the ToolTipCreate action on an axis renderer but I
can't figure out how to find out which label is being moused over.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if you're refering to components you can place in containers, but if you are, there's a ToolTipText option in the component inspector for every component you can select. If you want to change the tooltips manually for specific components, you can use the method (Component).setToolTipText(String text). Hope that helps...
hello again,
just one more question :) i was wondering if anyone
knows how to implement tool tips with controls in
JavaForte. i looked through the properties window,
but didnt see any .ToolTipText property.... i know
its possible, and probably just one line of code,
anyone know it? thanks a lot in advance for any help!
talk to ya later,

Changing the Axis Names in Chart

Hi All,
Do we have an option to change the name of the axis in the chart ? I have 3 bar type charts, instead of the common field names I want the custom names to be displayed. Is it possible, please suggest.
Thanks
Natraj

Hi,
Yes this is possible, if you go to 'Edit View' on your chart. Just under your report title there is a small button, if you hover over it you'll see the label is "Axis titles and labels". It's displayed as a small chart icon with an 'A' in it.
Thanks

Problem With Chart (Members Name)

Hi Experts
We are facing the one new issue in FR as well as HFM. we are using the data bast to HFR is HFM.While we are creating the HFM application Profile we used the Period's Lables as January ,febuary.....,.we catching the same in HFR also it good.
But at one stage (trend reports) we have to generate the reports including with charts and both (*grid and Chart should be in one page only*). here we are facing the problem the report made up two col's (year & Period) and one row(Scenario).If we check the chart to show the Horizontal value like January 2007,February2007 and so on . so that the system will covers morespce and grid will moves next page but we need both in one single page.
Any suggestions on this Its cery Urgent
Regards
Rao

There are several options:
Try formatting that axis to have the month names at an angle.
Use the member name instead of description for months.
Don't show the year.
Change the axis that months are on, or pivot the grid (rows to columns).

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.

Chart series name from SELECT event

Hi all, how can I get the name of the chart series when I click on it (SELECT event)? is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Hi
If you place curser on the chart on the required 'Data series' you will get data series name also you will get the values of the field on the category access. Is this what you want? If you want to drilldown the 'data series' through 'select' event then it is not possible, it will pass the value of the field which is on category axis. Even though you want to do this, you have to create 'Radio Button or Dropdown etc for each 'Data series'. Then create separate chart for each series place them one over the other. BAsed on radio button (or Dropdown) create visibility condition to display required data series. by doing this you will get the same effect.
If you are looking for anything else then please elaborate your requirement.

Editing chart Axis label

Hi. I have a report where one chart repeats one time, and in Preview, I am able to click on the Axis label and find an option to Edit the label, where I define 1 - 12 as Jan - Dec. However, another chart repeats for 80 or so pages, thus I can't use Preview to edit the label as it effects one chart at a time. Is there a place to edit axis labels in Design?
Thanks!
Robin

Thanks so much for following up on this. To clarify, converting month numbers to names is nice, and I did that using the specified order suggestion, but it doesn't effect the order of say, May, when Jan thru Apr are missing, and in fact created other issues of data misintrepatation I didn't bother resolving at the time.
I suppose the best solution would be something that supplies a placeholder for blank months, so that the Jan-Dec order remains constast and the data graph bars appear in appropriate months, Jan-Apr no bars, May-Dec with data generated bars.
Does this help?

CR4E Chart Axis Label

I have a report developed with Crystal Reports XI Standard that includes a chart. The axis labels for the chart have been set (via Edit Axis Label) and appear correctly in preview mode of the Crystal Reports XI designer (e.g. "District" instead of "Sum of StateReportsView.District").
When this report is exported to a PDF file via a Java program (using Crystal Reports for Eclipse), the axis labels revert to their original values (e.g. appear as "Sum of StateReportsView.District").
Can the axis labels be set before exporting the report via the JRC API?
Or is there some way to save the axis labels to the report using the Crystal Reports XI designer?
Thank you...
