Chart formats

Hi,
I want to create chart based reports using HTML DB but I also want to be able to extract output from it too. For example,I navigate through my application to a page containing a chart based report , click save as and then mail this off to a third party who doesnt have access to the website? This wont always be the case but for some of the report recipients it is all that is practical.
This doesnt seem to work with SVG graphs.
I note that I could do this if I chose to have simple html format charts - but all these allow you to do is have bar graphs - can a html chart be of any other format (eg. line or pie graphs)?
I'm starting to think that perhaps Oracle Reports server might be better for my needs - which is a shame as I've really taken to this product and learnt a lot quickly. I doubt the learning curve will be as easy with Reports!
Regards,
Tim

Tim,
As the source of an SVG chart is XML, you will not be able to right-click and save/email it.
However, you can use Windows built-in screen capture utility or a 3rd party tool to take a screen shot, save it as a GIF, and then email that.
HTML Charts only support bar charts - not line or pie.
Hope this helps,

Web I line chart formatting

hi all, I am trying all my best for webI line chart formatting but I don't see much options, quick question is there any button or tool box for formatting WebI line chart except properties tab???
and my requirement is, usually when i turn table to line chart by default X-axis will be lower side and Y-axis will start from left end of X-axis and stand perpendicular to it. But what I need is X-axis should remain same but Y-axis should start from right end of x-axis.
In short and clear Point of intersection of X and Y axis is left end of x-axis but I need point of intersection should be right end of X-axis line. are there any formatting tips???

Hi,
Follow the below steps.
1) Create a dummy measure variable with name ' (Comma) and formula value is =0. (Variable name is ' because if you put any other name that will come in the Legend and its a dummy objects)
2)Select the bar and line graph and put the dummy variable in the Y axis and Y axis value in the Z axis.
3) After that no value will show in the Y axis and your Z axis value show the line graph.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Amit

Chart format to use fro copying it as an image

Hi,
I am currently developping flash charts. I would like to be able to copy the chart as an image in order for end-users to paste them into Word documents.
it is not possible with Flash charts. What kind of chart to use ? I tried the HTML charts but it is a table with pics. i tried the SVG report, but could not get a visible result (I mean the lines where not displayed).
My question is : what chart format to use in order to be able to copy and paste the chart as an image ?
I apologize for my english, being french.
Kind thoughts
Christian

In Windows you can use Alt+Print Screen
This will take a snapshot of your screen which you can then Ctrl+V (Paste) into a Word document.
You can then crop the screenshot to size/higlight the area of interest.
I know this is a late reply but it may help others wanting to do the same.
Kind regards

Line Chart - Formatting more than 4 lines in line chart

Hi,
How to format more than 4 lines in line chart using Crystal report Designer as by default it will display 4 lines in design mode.
Able to format 4 lines but i have to display total 6 lines.
Urgent. Please help....
Thanks,
ThakurS

Hi,
The design mode is not the right place to edit lines, bars etc for Charts.
You can select individual lines from the Preview Mode and edit them.
Hope this helps!

Line Chart Formatting in HFR

I am using Financial Reporting for HFM and need a few line charts. I have to display the values of the respective points on the line chart which I did using the display point values checkbox in the Format Chart. However, the values are in $ or % and those prefixes ($, % etc) are not showing up on chart values(just displaying numbers which are rounded without any decimal places). I have formatted the grid where the chart is fetching its data but that is not helping. Anyone has any idea, how this can be done. Please help.

Pie Chart Formatting

I have a problem and hope I can find a solution here.
When creating a 3-d Pie Chart in Webi XI 3, the labels for the sections of the chart are overlapping and un-readable.
How do I keep these labels from overlapping?

Hi Jeffery,
The following solutions might help you to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
Do not use the diagonal labeling, or make the initial chart large enough to try and avoid the diagonal labeling from occurring as users drill down.
Solution2:
1) Open the report in Business Objects XI R3.
2) Double click on the data labels. Data labels Format window opens up.
3) On the Number tab look for properties section, add few spaces at the beginning of the positive and negative format of the number.
4) Click on Apply and then OK.

Flash Chart Format / Mask Numbers

Hi everone,
I want to ask you if someone know how to put in a format mask to the numbers on a flash chart, for example, instead of display 2542169 displays something like this: 2,542,169.87
I created an example flash chart in order to show you more clearly: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33253:10
Thanks a lot!,
Fury

Edit your Flash Chart Attribute. Go to Axes Settings attribute. For attribute Show Group Separator select 'Yes'. for attribute Decimal Places specify '2' and you'll get what you are looking for.

Financial Reports - chart formatting questions

1) Is it possible to display the legend label names horizontally? The default lists them vertically and I don't see an option to change this.
2) Is it possible to display axis numeric data labels with a decimal place?
3) Is there any way to have axis start at minimum value of data (as in Excel) vs. 0?
4) If data for a given month is 0, the line chart datapoint drops down to the bottom of the chart...is there any way to have it just cut off instead of showing the drop (tried putting a blank space in suppression labels but this did not work...)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We are at version 9.3.1:
We have a solution that involves editing the Report export file (.DES extension, the file is in XML format) – in other words a File > Export of the report and open the file in a text editor. The change essentially hard codes the number of decimal places in the chart legend. Since it looks like we have both Ratios (Gross margin %) and Financial Accounts (Gross margin) that could appear in the Chart, we probably don’t want two decimal places for all charts, the solution I added is for one decimal place only.
To make the edit:
1. open the DES file in a text editor. Search on <CHARTOBJECT , this should take you to the CHARTOBJECT section.
2. then search on OBJECT_WIDTH. There are OBJECT_WIDTH parameters for objects other than charts, that is why we start at the Chart section first.
3. Add the following parameter after OBJECT_WIDTH: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%8.1f')"
4. There should be a space before the parameter, separating it from OBJECT_WIDTH, and a space after it separating it from the following parameter.
5. Note: the %8.1f is surrounded by single quotes.
6. Repeat the process for all other charts, search for the next <CHARTOBJECT and so on.
To have 2 fixed decimal places, use the following: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%f')"

Flash chart formatting

Hi everyone,
Can someone explain or point me in the direction of some documentation that can explain how to format the apex flash charts?
I'd really like to be able to edit the colours on the chart beyond the inbuilt 'Look1; Look2' etc
thanks heaps!
Kieran

Nevermind, apparently once you create the chart you can then use custom colours.
My mistake :)

Y Axis chart format (currency)

How do I format the numbers on the Y Axis of a chart? I am trying to format numbers on the Y axis as US dollars. The numbers have three or more digits to the left of the decimal. I used the inspector and selected $ as the numbers format and steps 1 up to 10 and the results went from three digits to four digits past the decimal. Example $78,000.000 Thanks

Hello
As I never find a way to change the way Numbers choose the used format on axis, I decided to select limits and number of steps so that it may get integers.
As your original sample was 78,000.000, I assumes that deimals are useless on the axis.
For instance, I would use lower = $50,000 and higher = $100,000 with 5 steps

Mixed chart formats

I have a table with three columns of data. I'd like to create a chart with two data columns stacked bars with the third data set as a line on top of the stacked bars. I've been unable to format the stacked bars. In the series inspector, I only see bars, lines and area.
Is this possible?

I think you're right in concluding that Stacked Bars is not an option in a Mixed Chart. You would have to go back to the earlier workaround for combining chart types which is to create separate charts, set the fill to None for the chart you want on top, and then overlay them.

Drill Down Bar Chart Formatting

Hi;
We have a bar chart with conditional formatting on the bars (if % of goal is x, show red, if y show green, etc.) This is built on a hierarchy and has drill down feature from region to stores in the region. When drilling down into the store detail, the formatting on the bars is not carrying through. Any advise???

Hello,
You can not do this as of now, in OBIEE.
You have to come up with additional column which is some kind %, or brings uniformaty to other columns and then change the colors
Hope this helps

App Store top charts formate is back to ios 5 formate

Hi!
So I just downloaded ios 7, and went to the App Store top charts but the format has returned to the ios 5 formate but everything else is the way it's suppose to be
Example of top charts (how it is for me)
Paid apps(button, click to see the apps). (Free apps) (new releases)
And after you click on one of them it gives you the list of apps. So what I'm trying to ask is what should I do? I tried restarting ipod And stuff, I also remember this happening on my ipod before but fix itself after a few seconds but now it's staying the same and really hate how it's not the same
So.. Thank you for reading and ios 7 is AMAZING!!!!

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

Can I use "dvt" function for customizing the chart format in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
".pcxml" file cannot be found in OBIEE11g. However, can I use "dvt" function for customization? If yes, how?
Reference for dvt function:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/apirefs.1111/e12418/tagdoc/dvt_pieGraph.html

Hello,
I know it's possible, because i already found some blogs about changing the chart colors and turning off the animated graphs.
<Graph visualEffects="NONE" animationDuration="0">
But we want to alter more chart options, like make a bar chart default stacked. In 10G this was possible. I think this is also
possible in 11G through the dvt-graph-skin.xml, but what i want to know is, is there a document that explains which tags you could use in this file.
It would be great to get some help on this.

Problems with pie chart formatting - APEX v2

Hi - I have created a region with an SVG Pie Chart and set the CSS to display the three segments as red, yellow and green using one of the examples from a previous forum posting. That all works fine, but I still have two issues with the chart:-
- the legend is displaying too big and is overlapping the right hand region border which looks messy. Is there anyway to force the size of the legend as there is lots of blank space to the right of the labels/values?. If not, is there any way to get the legend to display at the bottom of the area rather than to the side of the chart?
- the pie chart is 3D but the colours are only displaying on the side, not the top. Is there something I need to set to get this to work OK? Current CSS included below.
Thanks Caroline
