Chart legend setting

I am creating a line chart with 6 chart series. The chart displays fine, except that the 6 legend entries are listed one by one, each on a separate line. I want to display 2 or 3 of them on each line instead. How can I do it?
For example, the 6 legends are now displayed as:
-- l1
-- l2
-- l3
-- l4
-- l5
-- l6
I want to know if it is possible to display them as:
-- l1 -- l2 -- l3
-- l4 -- l5 -- l6
Thanks in advance

diarmaede,
Just to expand on what Adnan Z showed, you can also add a property node that sets the number of rows that are visible. You can see an example of this below:
Good luck on your project!

Pie chart legend showing digit "1" when we set "ignore blank cells"property

All,
We have pie chart in Xcelsius 2008 that shows the data with legend value and we have also set the ignore blank cells property to ignore the blank value from column. but once we set this property, it displays the digit "1" in the legend when there is no data.
we are expecting that nothing should be displayed in pie chart legend when there is no data for the pie chart.
Thanks,
Sourabh

hi Sourabh,
I could replicate your scenario.
Workaround is to create a duplicate of this chart. Go to properties of this new chart.
Go to Appearance ->
Uncheck
- Legend
- Mouse-over values
- Data Labels
for this chart.
Write a logic in excel using 'IF' to verify if your data is empty.
Use 'Dynamic Visibility' feature to display this chart only when your data is empty.
Display your original chart if your data is not empty.

Custom Formatting Of Chart Legends

I've been playing with Flex Charting, and I have lots of nice
looking graphs that I've created from database feeds. However, what
I really want to know how to do is format the chart legend better.
For example I have a pie chart that has about 50 different data
items/series and the legend is huge in either horizontal or
vertical mode it prints all the way down the page. How can I make
it two, three or more columns?

Hi Justin,
I think, there is no way to do such a customization with the standard Javadoc (i.e. powered by the Standard Doclet).
After all, the job of the standard Javadoc is doing standard (general) things and I just cannot imagine any general rule (setting or option) that would embrace all kinds of possible customizations about displaying of annotations.
So, the only way in your situation would be to modify the doclet itself. You can try tweaking the standard doclet: overload some its classes or change sources (according to the license they provide). However, I just can say, that way proved to have lots of limitations.
Fortunately, I could suggest you a different rote that would allow you solving your problem in a few minutes. We have a product called "DocFlex/Javadoc":
http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/
This is a highly customizable Javadoc doclet. More exactly, this is a system for rapid development of professional quality doclets (with the support of both framed/single-file HTML and RTF output).
With that tool, the generation of every sort of Javadoc output is programmed in special templates (using graphic Template Designer). The product is provided with the "standard template set" that generates the HTML Java API documentation very similar to the standard Javadoc.
In fact, to solve you task, you will need to modify a subtemplate called "annotations.tpl". See on this page: http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/templates.php
If you are interested about all this, we could help you to modify the necessary template absolutely free. Then, you will need only to buy a full product license to have everything work without limitations and that will be all!
So, if you are interested, please let us know by sending a e-mail to the address found on this page:

Flash Chart Legend Not In Capitals

I have created a flash chart based upon a function returning sql. The chart displays fine but the legend column names for some reason are converted to initial capitals from all originally being in capitals, eg "SERIES" now equals "Series". I really need the legend to display all capitals as it is in the sql.
For example:
The function returns a string similar to this .......
select NULL as "LINK",
WEEK as "LABEL",
VALUE1 as "VALUE1,
VALUE2 as "VALUE2"
from MY_TABLE
order by WEEK
When the flash chart is rendered on the page the legend displays the two series values as "Value1" and "Value2". Somehow the chart ignores the capital case of the column names and applies initial capitals only over riding the original case.
There appears to be no over ride for the legend case so where is it coming from ? It shouldn't make any difference but the chart type is a "3D column" style. Not sure if this is a XML question or maybe a Flash Player issue.
Regards,
Jack.

I had the same problem.
To fix it:
1. Find a font that is strictly caps. I used Felix Titling.
2. Edit the flash chart & under the chart attributes set USe Custom XML to yes.
3. Scroll down almost to the bottom and find the legend tag.
4. In the font tag for the legend substitute the font you chose.
This will capitalize ALL the letters in the legend.
I don't know how to selectively capitalize letters.

SSRS Hide one data value label in chart legend

Is it possible to hide one value in the legend? I've got a stacked bar chart, but there's one value that I don't want to display in the Legend. Is it possible to hide this particular color and label in the legend?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Yes. In Reporting Services 2005, you could add a filter to hide one value label in the chart legend. This can be done with the following instructions:
In Report Designer, open the chart properties dialog box and go to Data tab.
Double click the item in the Series groups to open the Grouping and Sorting Properties dialog box.
Switch to the Filter tab. Add a filter using the following setting:
Expression: =Fields!<FieldName>.value
Operaiton: !=
Value: =”value”
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Thanks.

Display mean value in chart legend

I generated a line chart in SSDT 12 using the following query:
SELECT FCP, NFS, TimeIndex
FROM Controllers
WHERE ControllerName LIKE 'Controller-A'
Then I created a trend line using the guide
here. In step 5 of the guide it says to set the legend text to 'Average'. How do you set it to display the mean value?
Thanks in advance
Adam

Hi Adam,
Based on my understanding, you want to display the mean value in a chart, right?
In Reporting Services, mean value can be derived from a series on the chart. We can set calculated series formula as Mean in Calculated Series Properties. As we tested in our environment, the mean value can display on the chart after setting mean formula.
Please refer to screenshots below:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Reporting Services Chart Legend Label

I am creating a chart from analysis services cube data
data is like this
District            Year          Value
A                    2001          10
B                    2002          29
(null)              2003           19
The charts are creating fine but the legends are not showing fine. In series group i have also tried to use an expression to fix the null label.
For null value the label is created as "Series 1". I don't want this to happen. for null value i want my chart legend to show as "State"
Any help will be appriciated
Regards

Hi,
You can use expression to achieve that. In series group, set the group on expression to be:
=iif(Fields!<District>.Value is nothing, “State”, Fields!<District>.Value)
Also, set the label expression to be:
=iif(Fields!<District>.Value is nothing, “State”, Fields!<District>.Value)
Hope this helps.

Chart legend shows database field instead of value

Hi,
I would like to understand the behavior of the charts legend, which sometimes display the field values as requested, but sometimes display the database field name starting with a @.
We develop Crystal Reports and then generate them via an application. We have many releases of our application and therefore we get to work with Crystal versions 10, XI, XIr2 and 2008.
In all cases, the legend display is correct when in the Crystal Reports Designer preview mode. However when generated through our application (using ADO.NET), depending on the Crystal runtime version (apparently) the result varies. Editing the legend label in preview mode doesn't resolve the issue.
Is this behavior related to :
- Crystal Reports runtime (it appears to happen only with Crystal Reports runtimes XIr2 and 2008 in our case) ?
- Using formula fields in the chart instead of database fields directly ?
- Evaluation time (our charts are in Report Header and/or Group Header) ?
- any other idea ?
Thank you very much
Anthony

We have been able to detect that the Language Regional Settings of Windows XP Pro has a direct effect on our charts legend display.
We noticed that when the Regional Settings were set to English, the report would generate correctly and chart legends would display values, and not database fields names. However, when the regional settings are set to another language (tried French, Dutch, Spanish and German) the problem occurs.
Using Process Monitor we have spotted that when in Regional Settings other than English it was still the English dll that were called (crdb_adoplus_res_en.dll)...
The problem occurs with Crystal runtimes XIr2 and 2008 only. We use Crystal Reports in an application, using ADO.NET connector, and we use the Crystal runtime to generate reports.
Is this a bug or is there a workaround to make sure the correct dll are called according to regional settings ?
Thank you for your kind assistance.
Best regards,
Anthony

Chart legend width in Firefox

This may already be common knowledge, but we just bumped into what may be the cause of truncated chart legends in Firefox.
I have been trying to figure out how to expand the width of the legend box that accompanies charts. Firefox sometimes renders the legend box too short to display the full value character strings. But sometimes Firefox renders the legend box with a wider width, so the value strings have plenty of room to fully be displayed.
IE, on the other hand, reduces the font of the text in the legend box and so can display the full values.
And then a co-worker noticed a pattern in the way Firefox renders the legend box.
If the "data point limit" set for a pie chart, for instance, is at least as great as the greatest number of values that can be displayed, Firefox renders the legend box with enough room for the full value character strings. It does not truncate the legend box.
For example, if the largest number of values that can be displayed in a pie chart is 10, if the "data point limit" for the chart is set to 11 or more, Firefox will render a legend box with sufficient width to display the full value strings.
On the other hand, if the "data point limit" is set to 10 or less when there can be 10 or more values for the column driving the pie chart, then Firefox will render a legend box that may not be wide enough to display the full value strings. The strings will thus be truncated to the render width of the legend box.
So far this behavior appears consistent. I

Actually, it is necessary only to set the "data point limit" equal to, not greater than, the maximum number of column values for a chart. So if the maximum number of column values is 10, if the "datda point limit" is set to 10, the legend box will be wide enough to display the full value strings. It can be set to a number greater than 10 as well, but that is not necessary for the legend box to be wide enough.

Use comment from X-Channel data in Chart Legend

Hi,
Does anybody know how to set up a chart legend that will display the channel comment for the X-Channel? There is a standard option for selecting the Y-Channel comment and the line below also achieves this. In my case the Y-data is shared across all curves and the X-Data is independent. Thanks in advance!
Display the Y-Channel Comment:
@CC(CCN)@

You're right, it doesn't work with "curve-related text", no idea, why...
But there is a way - probably not the best one - to do this.
Dim oMy2DaxisSystem, oMy2DCurve, oMyShape, oMyPosition, oMyLegendColumns, oMyCurveLegendPos
Call Report.NewLayout()
Set oMy2DaxisSystem = Report.ActiveSheet.Objects.Add(eReportObject2DAxisSystem,"My2DAxisSystem")
Set oMyPosition = oMy2DAxisSystem.Position.ByCoordinate
oMyPosition.X1 = 20
oMyPosition.X2 = 80
oMyPosition.Y1 = 20
oMyPosition.Y2 = 80
Set oMy2DCurve = oMy2DaxisSystem.Curves2D.Add(e2DShapeLine, "MyNewCurve")
Set oMyShape = oMy2DCurve.Shape
oMyShape.XChannel.Reference = "[1]/[15]"
oMyShape.YChannel.Reference = "[1]/[25]"
oMy2DaxisSystem.CurveLegend.Visible = True
oMy2DaxisSystem.CurveLegend.Settings.ShowGridLines = FALSE
Set oMyCurveLegendPos = oMy2DaxisSystem.CurveLegend.Position
oMyCurveLegendPos.SizeMode = eLegendSizeElementwise
oMyCurveLegendPos.ElementHeight = 6
oMyCurveLegendPos.ElementWidth = 35
oMy2DaxisSystem.CurveLegend.Settings.Font.Size = 5
Set oMyLegendColumns = oMy2DaxisSystem.CurveLegend.Columns
Call oMyLegendColumns.Add
oMyLegendColumns(1).Type = eLegendTextComment
oMyLegendColumns(1).RelativeWidth = 1
oMyLegendColumns(2).Type = eLegendTextCustomText
oMyLegendColumns(2).RelativeWidth = 1
oMyLegendColumns(2).Text = "@CC(CurrXChnNo)@"
Call Report.Refresh()
The code is available in Examples, I just added some minor details.
Another way (shorter, but not so universally valid) is to extend your code:
Report.ActiveSheet.Objects.Item("2DAxis2").CurveLegend.Columns.Item(1).Type = eLegendTextCustomText
Report.ActiveSheet.Objects.Item("2DAxis2").CurveLegend.Columns.Item(1).Text = "@CC(CurrXChnNo)@"
IMO, this works only if you already have the graph.
And take care about the object name ("2DAxis2"), this can vary from page to page...

Error in chart legend totals when there is a negative number involved

Post Author: dawnyanne
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hi
if anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful!
I have a pie chart with a legend. There are just two values that are showing but one of the values is a negative value and the total of the legend is adding up incorrectly. Here is how it is showing at the moment
Cash                 -0.71
Uk Equities     100.71
Total              101.42
here is how it should be
Cash               -0.71
UK Equities   100.71
Total             100.00
I can set the chart amounts to be percentage - but then it comes out as only one decimal place and I need two.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
kind regards
Dawnyanne

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 too wide when using horizontal layout

I am using a flex chart with about 15 series on it. I've set
the legend direction variable to "horizontal". However since the
panel width which contains the chart is fixed, the legend sprawls
out to the right instead of going "wrapping around" nicely to stay
within the panel. As a result, you can't read the whole legend when
looking at the chart. The chart itself stays the proper width, but
the legend is too wide and can only be seen via using the scrollbar
to move horizontally. How can that be fixed?

Solerous, you must create a custom legend. Here's an example
that uses a grid to lay out the individual grid items. If you have
a variable number of series, then you can probably come up with
better logic for laying out the legend, but this should help get
you going.

Chart legend incomplete BO XI 4.1

Dear all,
I am struggling with a point which should be an easy one as it used to work perfectly in previous versions...
I have a chart legend with quite a lot ot items but I can not manage to "split" the legend in 2 or more lines.
Automatically, all criteria are on one line and each headings are otherwise cut (wrap) otherwise some do not appear (Truncate).
I am working under BO XI 4.1 (Webi).
I can provide further details if needed,
Thank you for your help,
Best regards,
Audrey

Hi Audrey,
I am agree with Sathish, Measure Heading is getting split automatically in BI 4.1, But if you are looking for Legend title should split in multiple lines you can use following trick.
And if your getting truncated measure headings make sure you have set Text Policy to Wrap.
