Changing legend labels in Oracle Graphics 6

Hello,
i am currently using Oracle Graphics to create barcharts for my reports. My problem is, that i want to change the label used for the shown bars via a parameter. Changing the labels of the X- and Y- axis is no problem with PL/SQL but it seems that the only way to change the legend labels is by using "AS" in the query (e.g. select a_column as LABEL from ...). I really need to change it by parameter.
thx for any help.

Nym,
The only way that I've been able to control the name of a label in regards to graphing is to use the Variable Editor and create a variable off of the column, for instance:
The name of the column from the database is call "Black_Catalog". so I create a variable called "The Black Catalog" and in the formula: =[Black_Catalog]
Then in the graph I replace the field that is called =[Black_Catalog] with my new field. When the legen displays it will show "The Black Catalog".

Changing legend labels

Post Author: Nym

Hi !
I get a set of data from a text file and I would like to generate a graph using these data. My set of data is made of lines of agregated counters, one for each month, and the first line contains the labels of the different counters. Those counters' labels are not user friendly and I would like to change them in the legend labels of the graph. How can I do that ?
Regards,
Nym

IOS iWork how to change legend labels

Hi. Having trouble with Numbers for iOS. I made a spreadsheet and placed a chart and connected the columns to display the information in the chart. I'd like to add a legend, but when I do, I get "untitled" for each color (or column) in the chart. I've tried to modify the legend to add the column names and I have not been successful. Help is pretty sparse on this topic. How do I change the legend labels?

Without more specific information about the data source, its dificult to tell. Make sure you have header rows and columns set in the table (tap the table and then the formatting icon, then the Headers tab).

Change report legend label waveform name

I am automatically generating a report using VBScript. Everything works OK, except the legend label for one of my waveforms. For one waveform I want to use the channel group name instead of the channel name. For the other one, I want the channel name, which is what it seems to use by default.
How do I change the waveform name displayed in the legend using VBScript?

Use the related text option for the column legend (eLegendTextCurveRelatedText), and then you can customize the name in the legend for each of the ploted curves curve.
' Add the plot
Set Plot = Report.ActiveSheet.Objects.Add(eReportObject2DAxisSystem,"Plot2d")
' Set the ithColumn of the of the legend to -> related curve text
Plot.CurveLegend.Columns(ithColumn).Type=eLegendTextCurveRelatedText
' Set the related text in each of the curves for the ithColumn
Plot.Curves2D.Item(1).RelatedLegendText(ithColumn) = "@@Data.GetChannel(CurrChnNo).Name@@"
Plot.Curves2D.Item(2).RelatedLegendText(ithColumn) = "@@Data.GetChannel(CurrChnNo).ChannelGroup.Name@@"

Remove underlines in legend labels

I have a data model query
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS "No. of Survivors",
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS "No. of Deaths", T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "No. of Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS
This query is use in Oracle Report Builder 9i Bar Chart. The legend labels display as No._of_Survivors No._of_Deaths No._of_Cases. How do I remove _, so that the legend labels display as No. of Survivors No. of Deaths No. of Cases.
Thanks
Brendon

Hi,
You can change the Legend Label through Graph Wizard. There will a "Legend Tab' in the Graph Wizard, using that tab you should be able to modify the label. I think this may help you. If you need more information, have a look at the following link:

Pie Chart legend label icon

Hi, is it possible to change the label icons of a Pie Chart legend? I have a pie chart with genre distribution % and would like to set the male and female genre icons instead of the color.
Thank you

Hello Pedro,
in general you can' t change the label icons in SSRS - I assume you mean with "label icons" the small colored rectangles indicating each of the sections in a pie chart. But I have a workaround for you: Simply not to use the build-in labeling mechanism
of the chart, but to create an individual textbox with the needed symbols for your purposes. In that textbox you have to set an expression for showing the needed male or female symbols as Unicode-chars. There's a text function for that, I mean something like
"=ChrW(&XXX)" is the appropriate expression. XXX has to be the character string of the Unicode-chartset, if you want e.g. the male symbol as an icon. Unfortunately, I can't post links, but it's quite easy to find via Bing or Google the needed
chars or signs in the Unicode-Table (use e.g. "Unicode table" as search string and you find a great site for retrievaling chars and symbols in the Unicode-Table).
Generally spoken, I wouldn't use pie charts at all, normally bar charts are the better choice in visualizing data - with bar charts it's easier to recognize skales than in a pie chart and you can often label bars in a direct way, so you don't need an extra
legend.
I hope I could help you, but feel free to ask me, if yo have further questions

Chart Legend Labels

Hi all,
It's extremely annoying to have to go thru all chart legend label displays and rename them to something else other than the formula.
For example, I have a Sum of @Formula that's displaying and in order to change that, I have to go into every single chart and right click > edit label
Is there a more round about way to do this update once?
Thanks,

yes that's annoying. try this if you are willing to try a workaround...
1) put a crosstab on top of the legend that contains your formula as the row.
2) while still in the crosstab expert, get rid of the gridlines, the cell padding
3) exit the crosstab expert and change the row height to match the line height of the legend
4) change the background of the crosstab so that you can't see the legend
a bit more work, but it works.

Problem in editing legend label of line chart

Hi,
I am using crystal 2008 and deploying reports in Java appilication.
I have a report with line chart in group header. I am using formulae for 'Show value' field. So legend shows it as @formula1
I couldnt change this is design mode, so i went to preview mode and used 'edit axis label' for each of the chart.
Now i can see proper legend labels in my crystal 2008. But when i deploy the report in java application, chart still shows @formula1 .... any idea on why my changes are not displayed in crystalviewer?
Thanks

This is tricky... and somehow you won't find it in manual.
After the change of Axis Label, right click on Chart Area. You will see new option "Apply Changes to All Charts". Choose this option and voila - You owe me a bottle

Calling 6i reports containg oracle graphics in ias 10.1.2.0.2

Hi,
i'm having troubles calling a report containing an oracle graphics chart.
i'm using ias 10.1.2.0.2 and the corresponding forms tools. and the ias 1.0.2.2.2a isuite server.
Compiling and running the forms is not a problem and neither is caling ordinary reports. i.e reports not containing any oracle graphics. So i'm confident that my server setup is correct.
When i'm calling reports containing oracle graphics charts the reports simply hangs.
Consulting the ias server reports queue i can see that status is 'running the report, now executing pre-form trigger' and that's it. status never changes and the report never finishes.
In my ias 101202 home i've set the following environment variables:
ORACLE_GRAPHICS6I_HOME -> E:\oracle\806 which is where my oracle graphics is installed
GRAPHICS60_PATH -> e:\mastra\rep which is where i store my reports and oracle graphics charts
I keep both the .rdf file and the compiled .rep in the e:\mastra\rep directory.
Strange thing is that if i don't include the full path to the oracle graphics component in the report it's not able to find it at runtime. I can see in the reports status screen it complains about not being able to fond the chart.
what parameter should i set so i don't have to hard code the path to the graphics chart?
If i include the full path to the chart it probably finds it because it doesn't complain but now it hangs telling me that it's running the preform trigger. and then nothing happens.
please help me cause im stuck here.
thanks for any input.

Hi Frank,
Our reports are all called from Forms...using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in the 10g environment. We have hundreds of reports (6i based) that all work fine when run on the 10g app server. The only ones that fail to complete are those that have Graphics embedded. Yet they work just fine when run Client/Server under 6i. On the 10g app server they just run forever/get hung.
If I launch Graphic 6i Builder on the 10g App Server box, I can connect to the database without any problems. And Graphics 6i do run just fine from my 10g forms (converted from 6i Forms) on the App Server. NOTE: My Graphics 6i uses the same tnsmanes.ora and sqlnet.ora that my App Server uses (via a TNS_ADMIN setting in the Windows registry)
Is there something extra special I need to do in the report itself?
Thanks,
John

How do i change axis label object type from label to text? (to allow wrapping)

In the example of a barChart, how does one change the LABEL type from "Label" to "Text"?
I am trying to allow for long labels to wrap (ie. multi-line labels), but the default object type of labels is "Label" (which are single-line only).
I have been researching this issue all day, and have enountered a similar situation for changing the Legend component labels where a method override is implemented in a custom itemRenderer.
But I have not been able to figure out how to do this for an Axis label.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
J

Yes, thank you. I am aware of the AxisRenderer.... but I'm not sure how to implement it to change the label type from "Label" to "Text" to allow for wrapping.
I guess what I'm looking for is a good example....

Reg: Reports Grapgh Wizard(Customizing Legend label)

Hi all,
I am working on oracle 10g reports.I am creating a report with graph.In my data model i have 2 tables both has the 2cloumns each and the names of the columns are same(like.. Series1,series2).So when i created the report. in the paper lay out when i am select the source for a field it gives Series1,series2,series3,series4.
So using these i created 2 graphs for two tables. But my issue is when i saw the output.In the legend for 1st graph is series1 and series2 but for 2nd grapg it shows series3 and series4. But actually my requirement is it has to show Series1 and series2 only as these are the actual names of the fields.
One more example, you might have different cities represented by data markers of different colors. Markers represent data on a graph. If red markers in your graph represent New York, then there is a corresponding red legend marker in the legend area, with legend text reading "New York." But i want to show this in legend as "NY" instead of "New York"....
Do any one has any idea about this legend label customization.
Thanks in advance...

Mascse,
I'm guessing you've already found the answer but try this if you haven't.
On the top line of the graph settings, you should see the dataValues. Add the same number of dataLabels and that may solve your problem.
dataValues="CAT1_num,CAT2_num,CAT3_num,CAT4_num" dataLabels="Front Desk, General, Nursing, Physician"

Is there any way to change the label of my VO attributes

hi ,
Is there any way to change the label of my VO attributes so that it will have more logical presentation
Thanks

Hello Alex,
I 've just checked my webbeans and the COLUMN_NAME_LABEL property is not use by the EditCurrentRecord, FindForm and RowsetBrowser webbeans.
I had the following line to my custom EditCurrentRecord, FindForm and RowSetBrowser.
So I can set Column display name ones for each webbeans.
It's better than do it with different methods for each webbeans!!!!
if((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getColumnName() + "_LABEL") != null)
rField.setPromptText((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getColumnName() + "_LABEL"));
In the ViewCurrentRecord something was done but with errors. Oracle Developers used getName() method instead of getColumnName()!!! So I rewrite it.
if((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getName() + "_LABEL") != null)
sHeader = (String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getName() + "_LABEL");
Hope this will help!
Email if you need more.
