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

Chart Type in SAP BI

Hi Experts,
is it possible to implement a new chart type for report in SAP?
Because the the sap Type could not help us?
Cheers
Gilo

This is not possible directly with SAP BI.
You can try to implement a 3rd party add on similar to the one provided by IBS Solution. Please see attached link for some of the custom chart types implemented.

About Chart types in IChart

hai,
Can some one plz explain me what is the need of going for Group Bar,Pie, Regression , Coustom Charts in IChart and
im trying to plot Custom chart type with Tag Query values but iam not getting that chart with the TagValues
plz can u tell with which query template we can plot the Custom Chart
Thanks &Regards,
Apsara

Hi Apsara
Barchart: Bar charts are used for comparing two or more values.
Grouped bar chart: It is another type of Bar chart, with data values ordered by tagname/dataset, then by observation.
Pie Chart: It is circular chart and it is divided into sectors.
To see these charts:
http://localhost/LighthammerCMS/Help/Applet_Reference_Details/Applet_Overview.htm
To get info about other charts see this thread:
Regarding information about Chats
For custom chart:
When there is need to represnt diffrent type of datas like line chart and bar type chart in the same graph use the custom chart. To get the chart type, Go to the pen details tab and change the pen type from default to required type.
Hope this helps you.....

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

error is
'AA' can not converted to a character-type field.
plz help to reslove the error .
thanks in advance.

Hi Dear,
This is Unicode problem, In unicode systme some restriction in programing.
There is three kid of data type
Character Processing ( C, N, D, T and STRING ).
Byte Processing Mode ( X and XString ).
Numeric Data Type ( I, P , F ).
whenever in structure all kind of data types are used then you can not use WRITE and then whole structure name.
in LFA1 in ECC6.0 if any custom fields are not added then up to length 1232 is determined as Character.
so if you will give aa(1232) it will work similarlly other kid of remainig data tpe you move in another structure of required format and then check.
REPORT ZT11.
DATA: aa type lfa1.
tables lfa1.
select * from lfa1 into aa where lifnr > 'Z' .
write / aa(1232).
endselect.
if sy-subrc 0.
write / 'No records found'.
endif.
For better Understanding Check
The following structure has both character-type and non-character-type components:
BEGIN OF STRUC,
a TYPE c LENGTH 3, "Length 3 characters
b TYPE n LENGTH 4, "Length 4 characters
c TYPE d, "Length 8 characters
d TYPE t, "Length 6 characters
e TYPE f, "Length 8 bytes
f TYPE c LENGTH 28, "Length28 characters
g TYPE x LENGTH 2, "Length 2 bytes
END OF STRUC.
The Unicode fragment view splits the structure into four areas F1 - F5.
[ aaa | bbbb | cccccccc | ddd | AAA | eeee | fffffffffffff | gg ]
[ F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | F5 ]
Offset/length access is only possible for the character-type initial fragment F1. Specifications such as struc(21) or struc7(14) are accepted and are handled as a single field of type c. An access such as struc57(2), for example, is not permitted in Unicode systems.

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

Custom Chart XML (Apex 3.2)

Hi,
I am trying to see if I can reduce the space left in between a chart region title and the actual title of the graph (name property). It leaves 2 cm. approx and I would like to optimize the page a little bit. Unfortunately I can't find the property, if there's any, even after refering to the anychart documentation:
http://3.anychart.com/products/docs/anychart/index.htm

So is already partially customized but can't see how to do that bit.
Many thanks

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.

Is it possible user to select the chart type in WAD??

Hi All,
I have a requirement in WAD, where customer wants to select their own desired chart in WAD.
Is it possible user to select the chart type?? If so please let me know the path where i need to do the setting.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
you have to press the right mouse button on the chart (it is not so easy - there are 2 different context menus) -> in context menu -> properties -> web item -> chart setting -> chart type

IGS and Chart Type

Dear All,
I already try to install IGS 6.2 under Windows 2000 and in the IBM server after I create the RFC connection in my BW system (3.1) and successful. I create simple template in WAD using web item Chart and choose the chart type is PIE.
But when i run it the result is diffrent, the PIE chart become BAR chart.
So, anyone can give me advice or idea what is wrong? because when i try install again the IGS in PC with OS-WindowsXP it is OK.
Best regards,
Wawan S

Thank you Stefanie, unfortunately our landscape is still on NW04.
By the way I managed to develop a custom WebDynpro component that renders top-down and left- right org charts as a .PNG image by a rework of the open source Javelin OrgChart project.
In this way I can render charts at server side and I do not have to use java applets on client side. J2EE engine is rendering these images in just few milli seconds.
If anybody else is interested I can share this component. Maybe we can refine it better.
Kind regards,
Vitaliano

Custom Graph Types

Dear All,
I've a requirement to create a "Stacked Vertical Bar Plus Line" chart - something currently unavailable in Answers. I've talked this through with my Oracle consultant, and depending on how badly my client requires such an output, we may attempt to create a custom graph type.
The basic steps of the modification are laid out by John, at his blog http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/01/obiee-adding-customized-graphtype.html
I'm just wondering if anyone has attempted such an operation- before I dive in head-first? Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Many thanks,
A.

Hi Ally
I have some experience with it..... :-)
Do you already have your custom PCXML file?

Chart type label position

Hello,
is it possible to put the label of different values to a specific position?
I am working with SAP BI (7.0 - 2004s).
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Patricia

Hi,
labels are positioned according to their customizing settings (Text properties: Horizontal position / Vertical position).
However, it also depends on the chart type you use.

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 / 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
