Custom Chart Effects

Hello,
I am interested in creating my own chart effects... I assume
I will need to extend SeriesEffect (or SeriesInterpolateEffect,
which is close to what I want to do), but I am not really sure what
to do from there. What methods do I override? Does anyone know of a
decent tutorial or example of this anywhere?
What I am trying to do is get my data points in my bubble
chart to leave trails behind them as they move. If you have any
other ideas on how to do this without creating a new effect, that
would help too!
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi,
I see your point. Not sure about an app for this but you can provide feedback to Apple here

Custom Chart / Pareto Chart

Hello, i have two questions.
How can i do a custom chart?, i can not find this option
How can i do an pareto chart?
Kind Regards, Victor

Your best bet for information on the CustomChart (a specific type of iChart where the data series details are configured per value column into a line, bar, marker, etc) is the online help documentation: iChart Data Series Details - Content Development - SAP Library
For a Pareto Chart there is no dedicated chart type, but between the various iChart type options for Bar, GroupBar, and Custom Chart. You can simply return your dataset sorted descending by count/number, so in effect you can have something like a 'Top 10' view, showing things like the most frequently occurring issues, or the largest total amounts for the given time period or associated unit.

How to create the custom charts?

how to create a custom charts? for example the donut shapes, but for the data can be automatically adjust (like a available charts on keynote)

Keynote and Numbers do not have a tool for making Donut Graphs. There are ways to make them using HTML, but I prefer to cheat:
1 Create your first graph as a pie chart and add a circle of solid color to the center
2. If you need more, take a screenshot of the pie chart with the center fill and drag the screenshot into Preview - in Preview > Select Tool (pulldown from Toolbar) > Instant Alpha and remove the inner filled circle and outer fill then Save As > PNG with Alpha
3. Drag your new hollow shape into Keynote. This chart can be placed over another pie chart with a filled center (the fill should match the background)
Not as graceful as a special tool but can get the job done quickly - changing the data requires starting it over since at least one of your donuts my be an image rather than a pie chart with variable data.
Try it. If you need more specific tools, Google Donut Shaped Charts for starts.
Good luck

Multiple chart effects conflicting with each other

Hello all!
Issue Description:
- Two chart series of two different series types (mx:ColumnSeries and mx:LineSeries)
- Trying to run two different chart data effects (mx:SeriesZoom and mx:SeriesSlide) simultaneously
- Having some sort of conflict
My application is more complex than this, but this is a good example of the type of thing that's happening on our chart when the data provider changes:
1) Please compile and run the following code.
2) Then click the button at the bottom of the application.
3) Notice how after the line series gets removed, it appears for a second, then disappears without using its hide and show effects. Then it reappears, but this time using the appropriate chart data effect.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks,
Anton

X-axis values on Custom charts

Hi,
I have a Custom chart with the Pen Type as Line.
If I plot a numerical values as the X-axis, the X-axis ranges do not come as expected.
e.g. If my data comes as shown below and I am plotting column A on the X-axis, then the
X-axis labels would read as 6,8,5,4,3.
Column A
8
6
5
4
3
When I plot a Line Chart with the same data, the X-axis labels come properly in order(3,4,5,6,8).
If I do an explicit sort on the X-axis column, then the Custom Chart gets plotted correctly, but the requirement is such that I cannot do an explicit sort on the dataset.
Can anybody help me out on this?
Thanks,
Amrita

The chart will plot them in data set order, so that is what you need to address. If your dataset is coming from an SQLQuery then do your sorting in the query or procedure. For non-sql results consider using the GenericSortFilter.xsl as an InlineTransform in your query template, or the sort filter action block in BLS if your chart is being fed by an XacuteQuery.

Jeremy

Generating custom chart

Hi,
I am facing the following problem while generating charts.
I have a tag query returning current values of two tags - T1 and T2.
If I am plotting the chart at 12.20,
The X-axis points would be 11.30, 12.00, 12.30, 1.00.
T2 should be shown as bar in the current 30 minutes range, i.e. 12.00 to 12.30
T1 should be plotted as a straight line for the whole duration.
I have used a Custom chart setting the pen type to Line for T1 and pen type as Bar for T2. If I set the value at 12.00 to T2 and for all all other X-axis points to 0, I get a bar at 12.00. How can I set the bar in the range from 12 to 12.30?
If I iterate through all the points in the range 12 to 12.30 and set it to T2, then the X-axis range goes haywire!
Can anybody help me out? Thanks.

Photo Booth - Custom Sound Effect?

Is there any way I can set Photo Booth to play a custom sound effect each time a photo is taken rather than the default shutter sound?
Thanks!

Work with a COPY of Photo Booth.app so that you can revert to the original behavior if you don't like the results.
Under Leopard, it's a simple matter of digging into Photo Booth.app and replacing the shutter sound-- /Applications/Photo Booth.app/Contents/Resources/photo_shutter.aiff -- with another short AIFF of the same name and in the same format (8 bit, mono, 8 KHz).
Replace photo_shutter.aiff with any sound you choose. You do have to give it the same name so that the program can find it.
Snow Leopard has tightened up code-signing. The above modification will probably break the app under SL, though it does work under Leopard.

I cannot save custom lighting effects in Photoshop CS4

Under Filters>Render>Lighting Effects.
Whenever I try to save a custom lighting effect in Photoshop CS4 an error message pops up saying "An error occurred while trying to save the style."
I am using an iMAC.
Video display card / driver version: ATY,RadeonX1600
Thanks for any help.

I solved the problem by deleting my original user account, but saving all my files first. I created a new account with adminstrative access, then opened up my old user files from the Deleted User folder and dragged them over to my new user account. The problem with saving custom lighting effects in Photoshop is fixed. Thanks for the tip leading me to realize it was the user profile causing the problem and not Adobe PS.

Interpolate lines by Pen in a Custom Chart

I built an SPC chart as a custom chart type and have four data series plotted (process, center line, UCL, and LCL).
I would like to non-interpolate the UCL and LCL pens only - and leave all other data series interpolated, but noticed there is no option on the "data series detail tab" to turn off interpolation by data series; there is only a global option to have all series interpolated or non interpolated on the "chart area" tab.
Any ideas?

Ok, if that's the case I can go and change the transaction - but there's no way to just toggle interpolation by series on the display template?
It would be nice to get the UCL and LCL looking like "steps" right from the display template. But oh well.
Thanks,
Justin

Custom Chart disappears in Powerpivot 2013

I've created a dashboard using difference datasources in Powerpivot 2013. I've created a reference table in which I use a slicer that has a relationship with all my pivots/charts. Due to the changing of dates (fiscal years), there are times
when no data would be available in the charts. My issue is that if I select an option from my slicer, and there is no data, I lose the custom chart I created AND the formatting is lost. For example; I am using custom charts
(mostly a mix of bar / line with markers). If I choose a Region with no data, the chart goes blank. When I clear the filter from the slicer, the data comes back, but it seems to go to the first chart selected in the combo custom chart and I lose
the line with markers.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!

Haven't heard anything yet.

Issues with Custom Chart

Hi,
I am facing some issues with custom charts.
1. X Axis value is getting cut off. Given date as x axis parameter and last 2 digits of date is getting cut off. (format like 19-Apr-2011T00:00:00). And this value cut of happening only for custom chart.
2. On right click of the custom chart, when i am selecting Preview, it opens a new pop up window with and error as Error: "Application error occurred during the request processing.". No preview is being generated.
3. In Server Scaling, i checked Use global auto scaling, and many times it is showing improper y axis or mutiple y axis values with the same value or it is displaying improper global range
kindly help
Regards
Muzammil

Muzammil,
Without seeing your data and your chart configuration, it is difficult to understand exactly the issues you are encountering. I have the same JRE and the same version and build of MII as you. I have no difficulty with the scaling or with Global Range, but problems displaying the date in my tests.
I would suggest the you enter a ticket into the SAP Support System, and enclose a copy of your data (run the query, use Browser with Content Type = text/xml) and export a copy of you display template.
Lastly, what type of query are you using - sql, tag?
Kind Regards,
Diana Hoppe

Custom Chart Type

Hello,We have a particular visualization need to be integrated into Webi. We were hoping to get our visualization working in a similar fashion as the built-in charts in Webi. Is it possible to define our own new ChartType and get it integrated into the Webi interface? Or do we have to build a custom webapp that integrates the Report Engine and other components, duplicating some of Webi's functionality? Has anyone done anything like that? Thanks, -Benjamin DeVore 

 There's no way to define a custom chart type in Webi, but I'm assuming that you already have a chart engine for that. Does it create images? One thing you can try is to create images of the chart you need using your engine, then inject the image into a database, and have Webi report off that.TUeda
