Creating Gantt charts using Business Graphics that can be downloaded

The short version is I need the format for XML data to create a Gantt chart in a Business Graphics UI Element in order to be able to automatically email it.  The long version is...
I currently have a Web Dynpro ABAP component that displays a Gantt chart using a Business Graphics UI Element based off data in various other UI elements in the view.
This works fine and the graph displays nicely, but I cannot find a way to download that straight from the Business Graphics UI Element.  Having read around the forum there appears to be two options:
- Code it up myself by calling methods on the IGS API directly
- Bind the image data attribute on the element and get the data that way
Unfortunatly, we are not currently running a recent enough version (702/720) to be able to do the latter and so, unless there is another way, I need to code up the API calls myself.
So far I have got a business graphic in to an Adobe PDF form, loaded in my config data so it appears as a Gantt chart but I cannot figure out the format for the actual data that needs to be sent through in XML.  Does anyone have example XML data or code to generate it that can be sent in to the call:
l_igs_ce->set_data( EXPORTING data_doc = p_ixml_doc ).
I have used the example in GRAPHICS_IGS_CE_TEST and the page http://liualex.com/archives/185 to generate the image and load the config data in but this only explains the XML format of the chart data for bar graphs.
Many thanks

This is the SAP Chart Designer, it contains a PDF which explains the XML format used, you can use it to manually create your own XML streams.

  • How can I create a chart using data (from formulas) in my header columns?

    Hello,
    I'm wanting to create a chart using formula totals in my header column. When I attempt to click on the chart icon after selecting my header column, the chart button doesn't appear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Move your formulas in a non header column.
    In the cell A2 of the table "aux", the formula is :
    =IF(ISBLANK(main :: A2),"",main :: A2)
    then I applied Fill Down.

  • Graphs using business graphics

    Hi all,
    I am trying to generate graphs in webdnpro using business graphics but I want to view those graphs in Adobe. Is that possible?
    What is the place where these graphs which are generated in NWDS are saved?what if I can pick the graphs geerated there and then push them into adobe somehow?
    Please help me out.
    Thanks and reagards,
    Gaurav

    Hi Gaurav,
                  To create  business graphics dynamically, you can do like this
    [if(firstTime){
    //Create as many as you want         
    IWDBusinessGraphics bg1 = (IWDBusinessGraphics) view.createElement(IWDBusinessGraphics.class,"bg1");     
    // set type and other properties
    bg1.setChartType(WDBusinessGraphicsType.BARS);
    But this is for first time when you open the view. If you want to change the number of graphs displayed at runtime. Access the graphs runtime and set visibility
    //access them again
    IWDBusinessGraphics bg1_mdfy =(IWDBusinessGraphics) view.getElement("bg1");
    //if you want to hide
    bg1_mdfy.setVisible(WDVisibility.NONE);
    regards,

  • How to create a Fixed Asset Business Area that is restricted to a ledger

    Hello gurus,
    I am having trouble creating a Fixed Asset Business Area that will only restrict users to use only one type of ledger in Discoverer Admin. How do you go about this?
    I know how to create the business area but not sure how to restrict it.
    Any guidance is much appreciated.
    Thank you.
    -Nelly

    Hi,
    You can restrict users to using one type of ledger by adding mandatory conditions to the folders in the in the business area. The conditions can be dependent on the user and/or responsibility so that different users/responsibilities have access to different ledgers. These mandatory conditions do not show in the workbook and cannot be changed by the Disco plus/desktop user.

  • Create organizational charts using application express

    I would like to create organizational charts using the application express(HTMLDB). How do I go about it?
    I also tried the Aria sample application for HTMLDB 2.0, but when I try to run the scripts it asks for some bind variable parameters ' :NEW ' and ' :OLD ' which I could not identify. Can anybody help with understanding the standard inputs to this?

    A perfectly reasonable question, phrased in
    a perfectly reasonable way (in my opinion).
    On this, I believe, we'll have to agree to disagree. I point you to the following document,
    particularly the section "Questions Not To Ask":
    I'm not sure why you feel the need to point me at a
    document entitled "Questions Not To Ask",
    particularly when I wasn't the one asking the
    question....I pointed you to the section "Questions Not To Ask" in the document entitled "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" not because I believe you need help asking questions, but because the advice given in that document directly contradicts your opinions:
    "Q: How can I use X to do Y?
    A: If what you want is to do Y, you should ask that question without pre-supposing the use of a method that may not be appropriate. Questions of this form often indicate a person who is not merely ignorant about X, but confused about what problem Y they are solving and too fixated on the details of their particular situation. It is generally best to ignore such people until they define their problem better."
    I admit, I failed to follow the advice of ignoring the person when I first replied, but the issue is whether it was an appropriate question, which I think this quote clearly indicates it is not.

  • I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:

    I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:

    The alert message is just telling you that a specific feature won't use the GPU. This message is innocuous. It only means that the processing of one specific, obsolete feature will use the CPU, not the GPU.
    Are you saying that After Effects won't start or open your project?

  • Is it possible to publish a book that can be downloaded in Turkey?

    Hi,
    I can only see the novel classics when I open the iBookstore in Turkey. As far as I know, I should be able to download 'all free' books in my territory. If it is so, can I publish free books that can be downloaded in Turkey?
    Thanks

    See iBooks: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Support - Apple - Apple says that availability varies by country.
    'free' books are new, so it may take time for that program to expand.
