Custom chart - spiral plot?

I have been tasked with creating a series of chart types that
don't appear to be among those available with Flex 3. Most
worrisome among these is a plot of data vs 24-hour time. The graph
should appear as a series of data points plotted inside a circle
with 'midnight' at the top and 'noon' on the bottom. Inside of this
would be some concentric rings and lots of x/y data.
How would I go about getting started creating such a chart
type?

ILOG Elixir has a radar chart that looks like it might be
able to be used as you'd like.
If not, check out the plethora of other charting types they
provide.
At a cost of course, but versus development timecost,
probably a hell of a lot cheaper to buy ILOG Elixir.

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.

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.

Am I going wrong in creating the xml?

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

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

Line chart to plot count of 2 date fields against calendar month

Post Author: springle
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I would like to create a line chart with 2 lines. I would like the x axis to be a calendar month. I would like the y axis to be the count of a date field for that month. I would like 2 lines, one the the count of applications recieved in a month and the other to be the number of shipments in a month. I can make a chart to plot one or the other but not both on one chart.So in summary I want of a count of date1 and a count of date2 by calendar month in one line chart.Thanks in advance,Scott

Post Author: springle
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Thanks for the reply but I am afraid this does not solve my problem. Your proposal make the month count of Date1 records in the fields and the count of Date2 in the month of date1 I am try to graph...In the month of Jan: 56 apps and 49 deliveriesIn the month of Feb: 76 apps and 79 deliveriesIn the month of Feb: 86 apps and 69 deliveriesThe change on date cannot be either app date or del date. It needs to be independent from a calendar timeline. Scott

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,

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

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.

Simple Flex Chart question - Plot Chart labels

I'm playing around with displaying data from WDA as charts in Flex 3.
I'm able to bind my internal table, which has 3 fields, to the plot chart.
The table looks like this
ext_id type string " bound to prjname in Flex
cost type string " bound to prjcost in Flex
benefit type string " bound to prjbenefit in Flex
These are all bound to my island's DataSource.
I have bound these in Flex and the Cost and Benefits are showing up as points on my chart. However, I can't seem to get the Project Name to display on the plot points. All I see when I mouse over the point is EXT_ID, and the values for cost and benefits.
The cost/benefit values are coming across correctly, just not the project name (ext_id) value. any ideas?
here's the Flex code for the chart
 [Bindable]
 public var dataSource:ArrayCollection;
 [Bindable]
 public var prjcost:String;
 [Bindable]
 public var prjbenefit:String;
 [Bindable]
 public var prjname:String;.
 <mx:PlotChart id="plotchart1" dataProvider="{dataSource}" showDataTips="true">
 <mx:series>
 <mx:PlotSeries displayName="{prjname}" yField="{prjcost}" xField="{prjbenefit}" dataProvider="/>
 </mx:series>
 </mx:PlotChart>

This is really a Flex question not an Islands specific one. I don't think the displayName properity is what you want to use here. This is the name for the entire series as it will be displayed in the legend. I think what you want is a dataTip. You register a callback for the dataTip rendering and then fill the custom dataTip quick info.
This is an example from a bar chart, but the theory is the same:
<mx:BarChart id="barChart" dataTipFunction="dtFunc" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" type="clustered" width="100%" showDataTips="true" height="100%">
 <mx:verticalAxis>
 <mx:CategoryAxis categoryField="{SalesOrd}" dataProvider="{dataSource}" />
 </mx:verticalAxis>
 <mx:series>
 <mx:BarSeries id="bsGross" xField="{grossAmt}" displayName="Gross Amount" dataProvider="{dataSource}" fill="{otdFill}" showDataEffect="{slideIn}" />
 <mx:BarSeries id="bsNet" xField="{netAmt}" displayName="Net Amount" dataProvider="{dataSource}" fill="{rtyFill}" showDataEffect="{zoomIn}" />
 </mx:series>
</mx:BarChart>
private function dtFunc(hd:HitData):String {
 switch(BarSeries(hd.element).id){
 case "bsGross":
 return "Sales Order #: " + hd.item.SO_ID + "\n" + FlashIsland.formatNumber(hd.item.TTL_GROSS_AMOUNT) + " " + hd.item.CURRENCY_CODE;
 break;
 case "bsNet":
 return "Sales Order #: " + hd.item.SO_ID + "\n " + FlashIsland.formatNumber(hd.item.TTL_NET_AMOUNT) + " " + hd.item.CURRENCY_CODE;
 break;
 return "Amount";

Customizing Chart Legend

As per the API, a chart's legend has public-read protected access. However, when I extended the BarChart3D and tried to init the textFill and font, it failed to reflect in the chart. I also attempted overriding the legend which also did not result in the intended result. Does anyone have any insight that might help in this situation.
Here is my custom BarChart3D class (using init):
public class CustomBarChart3D extends BarChart3D{
     init{
          legend.textFill = Color.rgb(130, 175, 115);
          legend.font = Font.font("Times New Roman", FontWeight.BOLD, 12);
}Here is my custom BarChart3D class (as an override of the Legend):
public class CustomBarChart3D extends BarChart3D{
    override var legend:Legend = Legend{    textFill: Color.rgb(130, 175, 115)
                                            font: Font.font("Times New Roman", FontWeight.BOLD, 12)
                                            items: [LegendItem{text: "test"}, LegendItem{text:"test2"}]
}

This may be a case of CSS fighting with user initialized variables. Basically, the CSS pass happens after postinit so the values you initialize might be getting overwritten by CSS. The recommended way of dealing with this is to use CSS to style your legend. I didn't try this, but I think this will work.
     init{
          legend.style = "-fx-text-fill: rgb(130, 175, 115); -fx-font: bold 12pt 'Times New Roman';"
     }Or maybe in .css (I haven't tried this either)
BarChart3D *.Legend {
    -fx-text-fill: rgb(130, 175, 115);
    -fx-font: bold 12pt 'Times New Roman';
}FWIW, the "css overwrites user initialized variables" is a [known issue|http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-8851]. From the [css reference|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17802_01/javafx/javafx/1.3/docs/api/javafx.scene/doc-files/cssref.html] for JavaFX:
>
The application of CSS styles affects the values of JavaFX objects' variables. In many cases, JavaFX Script programs can write to these variables if they are public. This raises the possibility that CSS might overwrite values that had been initialized or assigned by a JavaFX Script program. Since CSS styles are applied asynchronously, it's possible that values might be assigned by a program and used for some time before being overwritten by CSS at an arbitrary time later. To avoid problems like this, the CSS implementation applies the following policy to some of the more common variables that are set by CSS style properties. The policy is: if at any point a JavaFX Script program ever writes to a variable of an object, that variable is henceforth never written by CSS, even if it had been set by CSS in the past. This allows JavaFX Script programmers to initialize variables in object literals, and to assign to objects' variables, without fear of those values being overwritten by CSS. However, it's probably best to avoid setting variables both programatically code and from CSS. With controls and charts, setting values from CSS is preferable.
This policy applies to the following JavaFX variables:
Label.textFill
Labeled.font
Labeled.graphicVPos
Labeled.vpos
Node.cursor
Node.effect
Node.opacity
PasswordBox.echoChar
Text.font
TextInputControl.font
