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

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 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.

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

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

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....

Changing the label of TOC to another language in Captivate 7

I am using Captivate 7 and created a number of English Projects. I have translated these English files to French (by exporting/importing captions), changed the voices, etc, etc. All is now in French in the project except the title of the Table of Contents when enabled. I have already changed the labels in the table of contents for things such as Slide Title, Duration, etc by creating the TOCStrings.ini file and copying it to my root folder - that works as described in other posts/blogs. However, I am unable to change the Heading/Label of "Table of Contents" to French.
Is the TOCStrings.ini file the place to change the label of Table of Contents to French? If so, what string would I add to the file to make this change happen?
Can someone please let me know where the change can be made (if not in the TOCStrings.ini) or if the change is even possible?
Thank you!

If you enter data in the Info fields of the TOC, the indicator 'Table of Contents' will automatically be replaced by the Title field.

Changing the label of a field in SAP GUI

Hello SAP Guys,
I would like to change the label of a field in SAP GUI.
I already did it internally because for that field the Shor Text of the label changed:
I went to SE11, and wrote down the appropriate data element, through Translation I changed the entries of SCRTEXT_L, SCRTEXT_M and SCRTEXT_S and activated this change after saving.
It is very strange that after making sure that the
Short Text of that field was changed, I went to trx BP and I could see that the label didn´t change.
I´ll appreciate any help you can give me,
Regards,
Efrain

Hi Efrain,
Can you tell me in which screen did you make the screen.
Moreover the changes are not reflected immediately.
What you can try is to create a new record of the transaction in which you changed the label and save the recore. After this try to close the session and reopen the transaction and this should work.
The reason is the label on the screen are not picked up from the data element everytime but from buffer. So when you create a record this updates the database table entry and can also refresh the buffer.
I had the same problem in BP transaction and the above solution worked.
Let me know if this helps.
Jash.

How to change the label of a total column in pivot view

Hi
Is there a way to change the label of the column created by analytics when calculated row based totals? Currently, it is same as the measure label to be summed.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your help, actually that option works for the total displayed as the latest row, I mean the label for the total row. However, for the total column, the name stays as the same as the measure label.
Can you further help me on the issue?
Thanks

When printing mailing labels from Contacts how do I change the label size?

I want to print mutliple labels from a group in Contacts. I can print 20 labels per page but I want to print 14. I have tried every option in the pop up window but nothing lets me change the label size,

Hi 786menzies,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that your print jobs from Photosmart 5520 seems very small.
The font size is controlled by the software program that the document was created in, for example any Microsoft Word document that you send to the printer the font size would have been chosen in Microsoft Word. I've included two different documents on how to change the print settings; one for Mac and one for Windows 8. These documents will show you the process on changing print settings if not the actual steps as you may not be using one of the operating systems mentioned.

How to change a labels text which created at runtime?

hi,
i am creating label controls in runtime dynamically and adding them to a group component. this group component is in another custom component and i have lots of custom comp. in my app.
my question is how can access (via id) and change a labels text whict created at runtime?
i can change like this but i am setting id's and want to reach via id.
var lbl:mx.controls.Label = mx.controls.Label(subMenu5.group_subMenu5.getElementAt(1));
lbl.text = "good job";
thank you, have a good day.

First off, if you are already using a Spark Group, I would suggest you use a Spark Label instead of an MX Label. If you want to reference the Labels from the group, loop through the group's elements and check the if the element id matches the Label you want to assign text to.
var lbl:Label;
var n:int = myGroup.numElements;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
     lbl = myGroup.getElementAt(i) as Label;
     if (lbl && lbl.id == "myLabel")
          lbl.text = "newText";
