Can't do detailed line chart in cfchart

Hi
is it possible to get a line chart suitable for say a
financial series ie with ~1000 points of data in cfchart with
CFMX7? I cant seem to get the line fine enough so have to limit
chart to say 50 points. Someone must have done it but cant see any
examples on web or adobe livedocs. I guess a follow up question is
where is the best ref for cfchart?
Thanks in advance
Tim

Hi, what did the genius mean by "everything being fried"? I'm guessing that you have a USB keyboard and mouse and they still work, right? I'm just trying to see what the extent of the damage is.

Crystal reports in jsp ,the Line chart 's line can't display in jsp?

that is example crystal-reports-10 for Jbuild 2005,
I just modify such in viewreport.jsp:
<crviewer:viewer displayToolbarRefreshButton="true" isOwnPage="true" displayToolbarCrystalLogo="false" displayToolbar="true" displayToolbarExportButton="true"

it can't display a Line chart rpt's line and background's picture, and when I press refresh button report a Error "Error finding JNDI name (yhgl)"
help!!

The jars should be in your installed Crystal Reports folder( \Crystal Decisions\..\java\lib or something like that...). The problem is that your server (Tomcat and others) ignores the system classpath completely (it sets its own in its startup script).
Therefore, in order for Tomcat to find the jars, those jars have to be placed in in %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\. There, they will be available for all your applications. If you don't want them available globally, put them in your particular webapp's WEB-INF\lib directory.

How can i hide object in line chart?

In Webi XI R2, i am preparing a line chart for which on x-axis i have two objects like "month name" and "month ID". The purpose of "month ID" is to sort the month name. So sorting is applied on "month ID" column. Now how can i hide this "month ID" column, but still sorting is applied so that month name is displayed in correct order.
secondly, on the x-axis values are displaying like "AUG/00987","SEP/00988". i.e Month name/month ID. How can i make the line chart to display only month name but still sorting needs to be applied.
Please advise.

Hi Raveendra,
You can try to hide the column from the webi report in a TABLE, and might just work with the table, and make them charts.

Display column values as a series/legend on a line chart where one column value can be more than one category

Hi Everyone
I don't know if this is possible or not, so I will describe it. I have a column in a table called Filing. There are currently three values in it ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") and each record has this populated. I also have
the below slicer for the column also.
I would like to add a fourth value called "Abuse/Neglect" that would identify instances where both an Abuse and Neglect petition was filed, which is a subset of the Abuse and Neglect records in the Filing column.
My question is, is it possible to create a line chart that has the 4 Filing possibilities: "Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary", "Abuse/Neglect" as the Series/Legend in the line chart?
The problem is that there are records that are more than one category: Abuse or Neglect records can also be Abuse/Neglect.
Paul

Hi Paul,
According to your description, there is a column with the values ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") in your table, now what you need to is that add another value "Abuse/Neglect" in this column, and then use it
as Series/Legend in the line chart, right?
In this case, you can add calculated column to your table based on your logic. A calculated column is a column that you add to an existing PowerPivot table. Instead of pasting or importing values in the column, you create a DAX formula that defines
the column values. The calculated column can be used in a PivotTable, PivotChart, or Power View report as you would any other data column. Please refer to the link below to see the details.

Can You Create Trend Line in CFCHART?

Have pretty much got CF7 Charts and WebCharts3D down, at
least to the point where they can do what I need the most. However,
the one thing I'd like to be able to do, but not sure if it's
possible, is create a TREND LINE.
This would be a LINE charts with 2 series. The first series
would be a line with the actual counts covering a period of time.
I'd like to add a 2nd line, using the same data from the
first series, but have it displayed as a TREND line. In Excel, you
can easily create a TREND line, it's even offered as an option.
I've seen somehwere (CFCHART or WebCharts3D) something to so
with "logarithmic" options, which is one of the options for Excel
charts.
Two more quick questions:
Q1. Is there any way to control the margin between the left
and right borders of the charts, and the bars? Have tried
experimenting, but can't seem to get this to work. Reason is, when
I try to show a chart in 3D, the first bar on the left is "butted
up" against the left chart border. Would like to add a little space
there.
Q2. Rather than display rectangular bars, I'd like to display
rounded cylinders. I've tried setting the chart type in CFCHART to
"cylinder" but it still displays a bar. When I try to change the
type to "cylinder" in WebCharts3D, the chart STILL displays
rectangular bars. Yet I've seen many examples of rounded, cylinder
bars.
Don't mean to push my luck with too many questions. Thanks
for any advice, help.
Gary

Trend Lines:
CFChart does not do trend lines of any type. However, it is
not too difficult to compute the regression of your choice and to
plot it as a second series.
Logarithmic:
Not sure what you are asking here.
In theory, cfchart does do log-lin and log-log charts.
However, it is so buggy, and the scaling problems are so
great, that we have never been able to get it to work well.
We use ChartDirector for anything that requires a log scale.
Side margins:
You cannot control these directly. Here are some workarounds:
For "Category" axis:
Make sure the "isBucketed" property is set to true (this is the
default).
If that is not enough, add extra bars to your data series,
usually value zero. It's not ideal but it may be good enough.
For "Scale" axis:
Usually this works well enough. Otherwise, try toggling the
"isAbsolute" property.
The only other recourse is to manually scale the plot using the
"scaleMin" and "scaleMax" properties. This can be a real pain for
obvious reasons and also because cfchart scaling is fraught with
bugs and "quirks".
Cylinder Bars:
These work. Perhaps there was a setting conflict within the
XML or between the CFChartSeries setting and the XML?
Also the cylinders will only look round when 3D is turned on.
(Side view of a cylinder is just a shaded bar.)
Anyway, I've said it before: cfchart is barely usable for a
very limited range of charts.
For real business or common engineering and scientific needs,
you need to step up to something better.
The package we use (has all the features and very reasonably
priced) is ChartDirector (

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"

</cfchart>
Any and all questions and answers are appreciated.
Thanks,

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.

How can I hide a segment of line in Line Chart.

Hi, All.
I have a problem in Crystal Report. I have a database field like this:
ID Creation Budget Actual
1 2007-1 30 45
2 2007-2 30 38
3 2007-3 30 42
4 2007-4 30 Null
5 2007-5 30 Null
12 2007-12 30 Null
This database storage the info about budget and actual
when the first month of each year, we input all the budget of the full year.
and we input actual data every month.
We hope our line chart can show a line about sum(budget) of the full year:
and another segment of line indicate the actual of the summary to current month. (eg. the data of 2007, this line will hide after 2007-4, but the budget will show all 2007 sum data)
| /budget(sum2007-12=360)
| /
| /
| /
|/-/act(sum2007-3=125)
What should I do? Please Help!!
Thanks.

Hi, Don.
Thank you
It seems that you are a SAP employee, You said "If you need quick help I suggest you purchase a case on line to get a dedicated Crystal Report Designer Engineer to help you ",
I wanna told you that It's not work. maybe Crystal Report is a good product, but it has the worst services in China. We've brought CR product, We've brought CR services. But we never get any services from their company.
Every time we post the information to their engineer, they never give us feedback. They donno how to do it either. They just sell product, but never know how to keep the customer's heart.
After SAP brought BO, I ever thought that SAP,the BEST management company in the world, would give the new life to BO. the services would be better. BUT, I was wrong..IT'S THE SAME..
I'm not aiming at one man or one company, But I really hope the services would be better. It HELPS.
Thank you anyway.
btw. I'm sorry for post in a wrong fourm.
Seraph.

Can't seem to draw a chart (line chart) using dates rather than numbers

I'm trying to draw a Line Chart but rather using numbers i want to use dates for example: Switzerland 23/06/2008 - 23/08/2008. Can't seem to get it to work? it seems to all go wrong when I change the cell format to 'date'
Can anyone help?
Thanks
PS. I can do it easily in Excel

Hello
From my point of view, it's not surprising.
In XL, a date is a number to which a date format is applied. So, it may be charted.
Same thing with the good old AppleWorks.
With Numbers, a date is NOT a number, it IS a specific class of data.
The consequence is that it can't be charted directly.
Happily, we may easily convert a date into a number.
In column B the formula is
=A-$A$1
which calculates the numeric difference between stored dates and the date stored in A1.
So, we may chart the results.
I know that it's far from perfect but we have to live with the choices made by Numbers's designers.

Cfchart yaxis scale is wrong when combining bar and line charts

Hi, I am trying to combine a bar and line chart ti display data. Everything looks good except that the yaxis scale is off. I set the scaleMin to 0 but that doesn't help. Below is my code, the custom XML style and a screen shot. My ultimate goal is to get the yaxis to start at 0, not -1,000 as is currently the case. I have combined this data with each set represented as bar charts and do not have this problem. It must be the combo of bar and line charts together. Any assistance is most appreciated.

Line Chart - number of values it can chart

Is there a limit to the number of values the line chart is able to chart? It appears when too many results are returned the chart truncates the last data points. When I look at the data all values are present but the chart only charts the first ? values.

Sam,
How many values are you trying to plot on a chart. There is not necesarily a limit but will be limited to the size of your chart and considering you can plot one point per pixel this will depend. We recommend the option in the iChart of "Use Screen Resolution" as this will limit your data points to the size of the screen otherwise it can get very unsightly and confusing, if you have a chart which is 640x480 and are bring back 2,000+ datapoints and plotting them this will be very confusing and most likely counter productive.

How can i make x-axis even distribution in line chart?

can i change the min value, max value of x-axis?

For a line chart, the answer is : NO
In this charts, the X axis isn't a numeric one. It's just one with labels.
On the screenshot, compare the chart 2 (line one) and the chart 4 which is a scatter chart.
This late one behave as a true numeric one and it allow us to set min and max values.

Can't change plot line style for chart

I am using LabVIEW 8.6. In my program, the user has the ability to enable or disable autoscaling for the x axis by right clicking the chart. I use a proprty node to turn the plot to a dashed line during an alarm condition. The issue I have is - if x autoscaling is disabled, the plot style is always solid for new data entering the chart regardless of the property node setting. If autoscaling is enabled, the line style changes as I expect.
Attached is a simple program that illustrates the problem. I don't know if I am doing something wrong.
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave F

Hi Dave,
I looked at your VI and I definitely see the behavior you mentioned. However I believe this is expected. The plot is actually still writing in the dashed line, however very compactly. You can see this if you make your x range smaller(perhaps 0 to 10). This shows the dashed line. With autoscaling turned on, the graph is redrawn every loop iteration. so the dashed line is easy to see when zoomed out.
I think a better solution for what you are trying to use plot color, line width, etc. Or if you definitely want it to do Line style, you can have it change line style to 0 and then back to 1 every loop iteration. This will force it to redraw, but will add overhead to your code and slow it down slightly.

How can I connect dots across missing data points in a line chart?

Hi all!
I have a table in Numbers that I update every few days with a new value for the current date (in this case body metrics like weight, etc.), which looks something like this:
Column 1              Column 2      Column 3
Aug 16, 2011         87.1             15.4
Aug 17, 2011         86.6
Aug 18, 2011         86.1
Aug 19, 2011
Aug 20, 2011         85.7             14.6
Aug 21, 2011         85.3
Every once in a while there will be a missing value for a given date (because I didn't take a reading on that day). When I plot each column against the date on a line chart, there is a gap where there are missing data points. The line does not connect "across" missing data points. Is there a way to make the line connect across missing data points?
Thanks for any help. This thing has been driving me nuts!

Leave your nuts in peace.
Don't use line charts but scatter charts.
These ones are able to do the trick.
Of course to do that you must study a bit of Numbers User Guide.
In column D of the Main table, the formula is :
=IF(ISBLANK($B),99999,ROW())
In column E of the Main table, the formula is :
=IF(ISBLANK($C),99999,ROW())
Now I describe the table charter.
In column A, the formula is :
=IFERROR(DAY(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $D,ROW())-1,0)),"")
In column B,the formula is :
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $D,ROW())-1,1),"")
In column C, the formula is :
=IFERROR(DAY(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $E,ROW())-1,0)),"")
In column D, the formula is :
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $E,ROW())-1,2),"")
In this table, select the range A1 … D5
and ask for a Scatter chart.
You will get what you need.
I asked that points are joined by curves
I just edited the parameters of Xaxis and Yaxis to get a cleaner look.
I repeat one more time that knowing what is written in the User Guides is useful to be able to solve problems with no obvious answer.
