Controling the legend in Numbers

Hi all,
I'm trying to edit a chart I have drawn using XY scatter data with Numbers '09. Besides colors, I would like to distinguish my data lines with solid, dotted, and dashed lines. Numbers lets me do this easily, but I don't seem to have any control over how the data is labeled in my legend. There, all the data is labeled with a solid line, regardless of whether the data it represents is dotted or solid.
Is there any workaround to this besides manually creating my own legend with text boxes and assorted lines?
Thanks!

Numbers seems to think that color and data symbol are all that is required to distinguish one series from another in the legend. The problem is that sometimes you don't want to use data symbols (like on charts with many data points), color doesn't do you much good if you make black and white copies, and sometimes you want to use the same color for two or more series to show that they are related to each other (the dashed versus solid line type distinguishes them from each other).
Here is one workaround if you are not using data points on your chart. For a dashed line, set the data point to an X, set the size to 2, and set the color to the background color (typically white). That'll make the legend have a dashed line. For the actual line on the chart, you have to set it to be a dashed line in the Graphic Inspector. This is not a perfect solution but I don't know of a better one

  • Tethering and Controlling the Shooting Sequence Numbers

    This may be a bit much - but I have to ask.
    I'm just getting started with Aperture, but one of my reasons for switching from Lightroom was the Tethering abilities of Aperture.
    My question is very simple, when shooting tethered where/how can I control the image sequence numbers? The sequence number on my EOS 5D is controlled by the folder it's writing too, and the EOS software lets you specify a starting number- however ...
    Aperture is not using the EOS Utility to do the tethering, or is it?
    Anyway- if someone can tell me how to control my sequence starting point while shooting tethered, that'd be cool --
    thanks-

    When I upload photos to My Photo Steam the sequence of the photos is altered.  So any shots taken in 'burst' mode will not appear in order - usually the middle shots of the burst sequence are moved to either the beginiing or the end of the seqence.  (so, for example, when reviewing a sequence in My Photo Stream - you see a basketball player take a shot before he dribbles towards the basket...)
    I wonder, why you are seeing more than one photo of a burst of photos in the PhotoStream at all. According to the "Photo Stream FAQ" only the final selected photo of a burst will upload to the Photo Stream, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Are all of the photos taken with burst mode or image stabilization on my iPhone 5s saved to My Photo Stream?
    No. Only the final photos that you select when using burst mode, and only the final composite image shot with image stabilization are added to My Photo Stream.

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • CONTROLLING THE VIEWING EXPERIENCE IN ACROBAT

    CONTROLLING THE VIEWING EXPERIENCE IN ACROBAT
    This is a major bug (going back to at lease Acrobat 5) and just one of many related to the “Document Properties > Initial View” setting, which seem to be a “special project” for the Adobe Acrobat tech-team. I say “special” in the sense that the goal appears to be … How can they address these issues in each successive version to actually make them LESS FUNCTIONAL and LESS INTUITIVE?
    Default = Sucks!
    I run a successful graphic design firm and have invested well over $1000,000 in various Adobe products. When we send our work to clients (via PDF) for review, EVERY aspect – window size, window placement, format and flow of pages, page layout, navigation options, page magnification, document page numbers, document titles and file names, etc., etc. etc. – are absolutely critical. The “default” settings for Acrobat address virtually none of these issues and Adobe seems not to care at all! 99.9% of all the Acrobat documents that I receive are completely unformatted and must be reset before they can be navigated or reviewed.
    Navigation Tab > Pages Panel and Page = Does Not Work!
    However, perhaps most critical is that the recipient realizes that the document contains multiple pages, vs. a single page. The failure of the “Navigation Tab > Pages Panel and Page” setting to function in any logical and consistent (read – where is the default setting for this?) manner has been and is a fatal flaw in Adobe Acrobat. We have dealt with this (“Where is the rest of the document?”) literally hundreds of times and while it is a big headache for our staff, what worries me more are the recipients that never even bother to ask.
    Thumbnail Size = Does Not Work!
    I too have found no way to set the default size of the thumbnails. To add insult to injury, after you do enlarge them manually (2-3 steps) and enlarge the Pages Panel pane to accommodate the slightly larger thumbnails, guess what happens? When you reopen the document, Acrobat reverts to the original (tiny) thumbnails, but retains the enlarged (now useless) Pages Panel pane, while equally reducing the actual content in the Page pane. This is massively stupid!
    Page Layout for Viewing and Printing = Does Not Work!
    Another pet peeve is the “Page Layout” settings. When we design a multi-page document and convert it to PDF for review, it is imperative that the “flow” of the document – i.e. single page cover, followed by two-page spreads – be replicated as closely as possible. And while this on-screen experience is important, of nearly equal importance is the ability of the recipient to print each individual page of our design, as an individual 8.5 x 11 page. Again, finding a way to accomplish this in a logical and consistent manner is virtually impossible.
    Printing = Why So Slow?
    Speaking of printing ... Why does it usually take “forever” to print (even small) PDF files on a laser printer?
    Controlling the Viewing Experience = Does Not Work!
    In short, we usually have no idea exactly what our clients are seeing because Adobe provides no default settings that can be set globally and “locked” so that one has a bit of control over the viewing presentation experienced by the recipient. On the other had, Adobe does provide a mindless blizzard of security options which probably serve about 1% of their customers.
    Sorry for the rant, but if anyone has any ideas, I love to hear them. Thank you very much!

    It's evident you're annoyed, but I don't agree at all with your claims. If you use Acrobat as intended, you can control the initial view settings however you want - but this is a document-specific feature and intentionally so. If people are sending you files with the "wrong" initial view, that's their problem not Adobe's.
    Navigation Tab > Pages Panel and Page = Does Not Work!
    Of course it does. The menu item or hotkey sets the view mode temporarily, and to make that mode the default for a particular file, you simply set the initial view (file menu / properties / initial view) and save it. Whatever you choose for the layout, zoom and panel displays will be shown to anyone opening the file in future.
    Thumbnail Size = Does Not Work!
    The thumbnails embedded into a PDF file are at a single size. Enlarging them via the context menu on the Navigation Panel is temporary, but the width of the Panel is retained for a session (it is not permanent).
    Page Layout for Viewing and Printing = Does Not Work!
    What do you mean by "does not work"? The screen layout has no relationship whatsoever to the printouts, so provided your files are genuine pages and not spreads, you can set your two-up views (with or without covers) as part of the document properties / initial view settings, but the PDF will print as a series of single pages as it should.
    Printing = Why So Slow?
    Printing a PDF file takes no longer than any other type of file with the same content (and hence the same data to transfer). If you are experiencing very slow printing then it's a problem with your system setup.
    Controlling the Viewing Experience = Does Not Work!
    See my response above about the document preferences / initial view tab.
    Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader have been developed over many years, based on very extensive user feedback and monitoring. The features we have today are there because they DO satisfy the vast majority of target users, and if they didn't, these forums would be deluged with complaints - there are after all hundreds of millions of users out there, so even if 1% were unhappy you'd be reading millions of posts a week.

  • How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

    What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
    Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
    I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
    By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

    I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

  • Where we maintain the CST & VAT numbers for a plant which is not a register

    Hi All,
    Where we maintain the CST & VAT numbers for a plant which is not a registered for Excise?
    we are printing it on the invoice output. on debugging it is known that it comes from the table AUSP, after checking the table CABN.
    Any body knows about these two tables? let me know the purpose of these tables
    thanks in advance,
    Venkat

    Mr Big Screams.....
                      I hope you have neigther read my reply completely nor understood correctly.
    Let me tell you, maintaining record in J1ID in Plant address details doesnt declared that plant is registered under Excise act until unless you maintain ECC details. ( ECC -Excise Control Code number which will be alloted by the Central Excise dept).
    You will find CST / VAT fields in J1ID which is actually given to maintain Plant address details for INDIA localization.
    Hope its clear.

  • How can I control the delay pedal with a MIDI keyboard?

    Okay, I'm looking to perform the song 'Are You In?' by Incubus with some friends, and here's what I want to do...
    I have my guitar plugged into a Behringer UCG102 Guitar Link
    The link is then plugged into my MacBook running GarageBand
    I have an amp preset saved in the program with the 'Blue Echo' delay pedal
    While playing, I want to be able to use my external MIDI USB keyboard (Akai MPK25) to control the 'Time' and 'Repeats' knobs on the virtual pedal.
    Otherwise, i'm gonna have to keep switching between playing guitar and clicking on the screen and then moving the mouse around frantically.
    How can I do this? And is it even possible in GarageBand?
    If not in GarageBand, is it possible to do the same in Logic Pro?
    My Akai keyboard did come with a piece of software to control the keyboard from the computer. It allows me to save different presets and upload them to it. For the knobs on my keyboard, the software has the option to enter numbers next to each knob for 'CC', 'Low' and 'Hi'
    Sorry if i'm not very clear or I don't make much sense, not really sure how to explain everything.

    There are two types of sustain pedal... One's with  + polarity and ones with - polarity
    The sustain pedal you are using, has the oppostie polarity from the standard.. which means when you press it it acts as if it is not pressed and vice versa...
    Unfortunately, unlike a lot of keyboards...  the Launchkey doesn't provide a setting that allows you to correct this issue... which means that unless the pedal you are using has a built in polarity switch...(In which case power down your keyboard, unplug the pedal and select the opposite setting to what is set now and then plug it back in and power up your keyboard) your sustain pedal is the wrong type and is not compatible with the Launchkey....
    Failing that, here is an example of a sustain pedal that has a polarity switch so you can use it with any keyboard....

  • How to control the rounding rule at answer?

    Hi grus,
    I use the BIEE 11.1.1.6.5.
    And I create the 2 answers(A and B) with a same column which setting is same column formula and data format(Treat Numbers As "number", Decimal places "2") on column properties.
    Then I run the answer A that the value is 3.68( this column's SQL value is 3.675, so this means rounding up the value)
    But I run the answer B with same criteria that the value is 3.67(this means truncating the value)
    Why do these difference happen?

    Hi,
                 When add the Itemcode, default warehouse and costing codes (Profit Center) are automatically asign by SAP.
    When change the warehouse for this Itemcode, the costing codes(Profit Center) are disappear. I don't want to disappear the costing codes, that's why I try to resign the default costing codes when the warehouse change.
                At SAP 2005, easily  access the screen matrix in the marketing document and add the required values in each costing codes columns. But SAP 2007, all costing codes are combined in 1 col and those have the other screen.
              Do you have any idea to control the costing codes?

  • How to Control the Dynamic Pegging Behaviour in CDP

    Dear All,
    We are using Characteristic Dependent Planning (CDP) to plan configurable materials.
    The requirement is to control the behaviour of Dynamic Pegging of a dependent requirement to receipt. We are using MTS strategy.
    The BOM is P2 -
    > P1.
    Now P1 and P2 have characteristics called Length, WIdth, Grade,etc. The normal CDP based pegging considers all the characteristics and tries to match them. However we wish to peg only based on Grade and WIdth (the characteristic Length is not pegging relevant but only for information). We cannot make Length as APO non relevant.
    We have already modified the heuristic such that it doesnt consider length in netting off.
    Is there any way we can modify the pegging behaviour through some development?

    Hi,
    We had a compareable business requirement and it has been modelled using public method /SAPAPO/IF_EX_RRP_PLANNING~PEGID_GET_IO (Change the Receipts and Reqs After Reading from liveCache) from BAdI Interface /SAPAPO/IF_EX_RRP_PLANNING
    The heuristic calls up the method after it has read the requirements and receipts in SAP liveCache,and has determined the virtual safety stock requirements based on the settings in the planning version and in the location product master.
    We basically implemented the following steps:
    Get non-pegging relevant characteristics (using a spec table nammed i.e. zpp_npeg_chars)
    Get internal numbers of non-pegging relevant characteristics (collecting entries from cabn)
    Remove values of non-pegging relevant characteristics (deleting in table CT_CHARACT_REQ = Table with Characteristic Requirements)
    You can also influence CDP propagation by using method /SAPAPO/IF_EX_RRP_PLANNING~RECEIPTS_SAVE (Change the Planning Results) from same BAdI Interface.
    Hoping this help.

    Pascal.

  • Copying a chart with legend from numbers into mail or pages

    Hi, I have created a chart in numbers that I want to send to a supplier via Mail.
    So I select the chart in Numbers and drag it across to the new email editing window of Mail. This works but for some odd reason the legend is not copied across.
    Has anyone experienced this?
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Many thanks in advance for your help,
    D.

    Hello
    - 1 - If I group the objects in a single one, I may paste the entire chart into Mail.
    - 2 - If objects are separated but selected together, only the graph object is pasted int0 Mail.
    - 3 - If I select the graphic object I may copy-paste it into Mail.
    - 4 - If I select only the block with labels I can' Copy it, I always get a bell signal.
    I tryed this 4th case hoping that I would be able to study its contents in AppleScript but, nada. I can't copy it.
    - 5 - Other missing feature, I can't drag and drop a Numbers objet out of the doc window. It seems that the Numbers team forgot to read Apple Human Guidelines.

  • Editing Chart legends: How to change the line structure within the legend?

    Hi,
    I have one problem: I have several charts in Numbers and since I need to print them in black/white, colors cannot be used to differentiate between the lines. So if I have a dotted line and a solid line, the legend only shows me solid lines as line symbols, so the line structure is not reflected within the legend. Can I change that?

    _This question was already asked and responded._
    Put a text box with the true kind of line above the one displayed automatically.
