Business Graphics Tool - Series

Hello All,
I have developed a Graph using the Business Graphics charting tool. The application is a Web Dynpro application.
My graph has to display two lines (or range of values). In order to do that, I have created two Data Series, to which I pass values at run time. The Graph is appearing correctly.
How ever some of the values in both the series are the same. Hence the two lines criss-cross each other. At this point the values displayed on the graph becomes jumbled up.
I also saw an option for creating 'Series' objects. Here we can set whether the labels should appear on the left side of the line, its format etc. etc. But I am not finding a way to interlink the Series object, with the Data Series object. The setting would be like:-
Data Series 1 would be using Series Object 1 (in which the value labels would appear on the left side of the line)
Data Series 2 would be using Series Object 2 (in which the value labels would appear on the right side of the line)
Any help is appreciated. TIA
PKS.

Hi,
the connection between your customizing settings and the data is done using a customizing ID, i.e. tell WD the ID of each series and use exactly the same ID in the chart designer when creating the customizing settings (please note that you can easily rename the default names as desired).

Business graphics: customize x axes

Hi all,
I have a special requirement from a customes and I don't know how to satisfy this.
I have successfully implemented a Business graphic with series (not simpleseries) and now I need to customize the x axes which contains the hours of 1 month.
The customer requirement is to have a label and the corresponding grid line only each sunday at 12:00:00.
I'm trying with Chart Designer with no luck.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks
Stefano

Hi Kay,
currently I don't use a time axis because reading the documentation I was convinced that it is only for graphics like gannt and similar.
In my case I need 2 axes, the x axes is for time (quarter hour) and the y axes is for values. The table rapresenting the values is like this:
Time   Value
00:15   287
00:30   290
00:45   302
01:00   299
01:15   306
Should I use time TimeAxis?
Thank you
Stefano

How to use series in business graphic ui element

Hi All,
How to use the series in business graphic ui element? my requirement is i have to display the sales in selected months in graph(these values dont know at design time).
Regards
Srikanth

Hi,
Use the dynamic node and bind this node to the BG source node and series nodes.
Create a node and bind this node to the BG source and the value that you want to shown in series has to be bound to that attribute of the node and similarly with the category.
Check out for the dynamic node creation and bind this node to the BG.

Business Graphics : Set label for a Simple Series

I need to set label to simple series of Business graphics object. Since the Label property is not bindable; i am looking for the alternative way to achieve this. (Any attempt to pass the context would give error msg: Method bindLabel( String) is undefined for the type IWDSimpleSeries)
I want to have a string value in each points in graph (Line Graph), not i legend.
tips will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinod V

Hi Vinod,
The label property for IWDPoint should solve your purpose.
IWDPoint API 'label' property - This property is used to specify an optional text to be displayed for a point in a business graphic.

Business Graphics : Display values for simple series ?

Hi ,
I have a some 5 simple series per category.. I am using a column chart . I would like to display the numerical values on top of each of the columns, ? How can i do it ?
And is there any proper documentation on Business Graphics UI element other than the help.sap and weblogs on the sametopic ?
Thanks and Regards
Bharathwaj

Hi ,
Thanks for the answer.. By trial and error I had figured out the values.. but am stuck in another problem..
I have two points created in the chart designer.. each one has its own color.. Now am using this to change the color of a single series .. depending on some value.. point 1 or point 2 will be selected..
In this scenario ,my legend still shows me the old ones i.e just an yellow icon..
If i add more info and captions.. for points.. I get .. the proper legend.. But the default legend set also exists. Any ideas on how to remove this .. or
to display the proper legend in some other way..
Thanks and Regards

Business Graphics- tooltip with series values

Hi all,
I'm using the Business Graphics UI element.
I have a simple series and I want to show the series' values in the tooltip of the series.
However, the tooltip property is not bindable for simple series.
I tried using Series (not simple series), the tooltip works but I get multiple values for each category.
See attached snapshot (I want the graph to look like the left graph but with tooltips...)
http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/2977/businessgraphicsop4.jpg
Basically, I need to see the values in a tooltip on a category based chart.
Is it possible to create category based chart by using Series and not SimpleSeries?
How do I solve it?
Thanks,
Omri

Hi,
I've change the context a little and now it's looks like this:
Context:
Category (Node, singleton)
--> Series (Node, non singleton)
> value (Value attribute)
-->Text (Value attribute)
UI: (UI Element, property, propertyValue)
Business Grpahics -- seriesSource -- Category
--Category -- description -- Category.txt
--Series -- label -- Category.txt
--Series -- pointSource -- Category.Series
SeriesPoint -- tooltip -- Category.Series.Value
SeriesPoint -- valueSource -- Category
NumericValue -- value -- Category.Series.Value
Thanks,

Business Graphics - Series Label

Hi,
I have 1 Category and 4 series in a Business Graphics. I want to display the Series Labels dynamically, and i have to map to the Context Variables for the Labels. But, i am not seeing any option to map the Label property to the Context Variable.
Any Ideas? Please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
I assume you are currently using the SimpleSeries in your application. Try to use Series with Points und Values. It is more complicated, but gives you more possibilities such as binding labels etc.
Hope that helps

Hi ,
When you create a series , you have to create a series -> series_point->point ->numerical or time value..
Blogs by Marcin Galczynski
/people/sap.user72/blog/2006/05/01/advanced-business-graphics--time-scatter
Or you can use a simple series

How to add series to Business Graphics control dynamically?

Hi Experts,
How to add series to Business Graphics control dynamically?
I tried the method add_series( ) but could not use it properly.
If you have any clues of using it, let me know.
I need it urgently.
Best Regards,
Arti.

I'm not sure what ADD_SERIES method you are refering to. The only programable API for the Business Graphics that I found was this one:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/e61cd068dc3ee4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
I've not ever tried it, but you not just add the series UI element like any other dynamic UI manipulation during the WDDOMODIFYVIEW?

Setting series color in the Business Graphics UI element

Hi all,
I'm using the Business Graphics UI element in my Web Dynpro application.
I set the color for various properties using chart designer, then I add the generated XML in the doModifyView method: bg.setDirectCustomizing(xml file) and most of it works.
However, when I change the series' color, I don't see any change in the xml file (see snapshot).
http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=graphjy1.jpg
My xml starts with <SAPChartCustomizing> and ends with </SAPChartCustomizing>.
How can I set the series' color using the custom xml file?
Thanks,
Omri

Hi,
as the connection between your data and the customizing settings works via IDs you have to make sure that you set exactly the same ID for a data series as defined in the chart designer.
In case that you use point customizing make sure that you do not set an ID for the points of your series. Instead set the series customizing ID for the series only! Keep in mind that point customizing always overwrites series customizing if both are defined.

Problem with Business Graphic:

Hi Everybody!
I am working with a UI control Business Graphic in WebDynpro Java,
I need to change the text of the legend, and is taking an automatic value, what is the property in the Chart Designer where I can adjust this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Edited by: Briger Palacios on Jul 6, 2011 11:16 PM

Hi Briger,
For Changing ur own legend , just write the label property of "SimpleSeries" ,which comes under your "BusinessGraphics" .
As many simple series will be there, that much no of legend is require, so just write your label of each simple series.
if any doubt , plz let me knw.
