Custom Formatting Of Chart Legends

I've been playing with Flex Charting, and I have lots of nice
looking graphs that I've created from database feeds. However, what
I really want to know how to do is format the chart legend better.
For example I have a pie chart that has about 50 different data
items/series and the legend is huge in either horizontal or
vertical mode it prints all the way down the page. How can I make
it two, three or more columns?

Hi Justin,
I think, there is no way to do such a customization with the standard Javadoc (i.e. powered by the Standard Doclet).
After all, the job of the standard Javadoc is doing standard (general) things and I just cannot imagine any general rule (setting or option) that would embrace all kinds of possible customizations about displaying of annotations.
So, the only way in your situation would be to modify the doclet itself. You can try tweaking the standard doclet: overload some its classes or change sources (according to the license they provide). However, I just can say, that way proved to have lots of limitations.
Fortunately, I could suggest you a different rote that would allow you solving your problem in a few minutes. We have a product called "DocFlex/Javadoc":
http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/
This is a highly customizable Javadoc doclet. More exactly, this is a system for rapid development of professional quality doclets (with the support of both framed/single-file HTML and RTF output).
With that tool, the generation of every sort of Javadoc output is programmed in special templates (using graphic Template Designer). The product is provided with the "standard template set" that generates the HTML Java API documentation very similar to the standard Javadoc.
In fact, to solve you task, you will need to modify a subtemplate called "annotations.tpl". See on this page: http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/templates.php
If you are interested about all this, we could help you to modify the necessary template absolutely free. Then, you will need only to buy a full product license to have everything work without limitations and that will be all!
So, if you are interested, please let us know by sending a e-mail to the address found on this page:

I think with two words creating a search to find John's Smith's Grill & Pub, John & Jane Smith's Design would be really complex.
If it is just one work then it is very simple even
SELECT T0.Name AS 'Name' FROM [dbo\].[OCPR\] T0 WHERE T0.Name LIKE '%[%0\]%'
UNION ALL
SELECT T0.CardName FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0 WHERE T0.CardName LIKE '%[%0\]%'

SSRS 2008 - Chart Legend Missing Customitems property

Hi,
I'm currently in the process of converting my SSRS 2005 reports originaly designed with Dundas charts, to a SSRS 2008 report and facing an
issue with the charts legend.
Dundas Charts allows me to create custom legend items on a row, cell collection basis.
After BIDS 2008 has converted the rdl-file everthing looks fine except the custom legend that I have created
in the SSRS 2005 report. The legend items did not appear in the reports preview.
I looked thru all the legend properties and read thru Formatting the Legend on a Chart (Report Builder
and SSRS)
but still unable to locate the properties.
Anyone encounters this issue and likes to share a workaround / solution?
Thanks
Bodo

Hi Mike,
I tried your workaround and it displays properly, but problem is with displaying the Line color. I'm using reportviewer in .Net 2008 and Line control doesn't contain any expression tab. Please help me with setting line color. Attached is RDLC in XML format.

Chart Legend: Worked in Beta, No longer working in Prod

Hi everybody,
The legend attached to the LineChart is no longer displaying the proper color. That is, the line, in the linechart is red (as requested) but the "legend" is black. It is supposed to be a red square and the word "Jobs" but I get a black square (as it is not picking the fact that it should be red).
<s:SolidColorStroke id="s3" color="red" />
<mx:Legend dataProvider="{myChart}" />
<mx:LineChart id="myChart"
x="10" y="40" width="600" height="400"
dataProvider="{platformsData}"
showDataTips="true" >
<mx:series>
<mx:LineSeries yField="id" displayName="Jobs" lineStroke="{s3}"/>
</mx:series>
</mx:LineChart>
This worked in Beta but no longer works in Production. Is this a bug or I need to make coding changes to accommodate to new Production ways of dealing with this?
Regards,
egm

Seems like a bug to me. If you remove lineStroke="{s3}", the chart legend loads fine.
Might have something to do with fill color perhaps?
In any case, the fills documentation says:
"If you specify the fills property and you want to have a Legend control, you must manually create a Legend control and add LegendItems to it."
Perhaps the entry for lineStroke should say the same.
In the mean time you could use the defaults, or a custom Legend, like this (place into an AIR 2 project if you try running it):

Also Excel is automatically formatting the legend making it TOP-BOTTOM rather LINERAR as in >rep file
I have tried with all kinds of formatting in charts but its not reflecting. If you can help, I will be very helpfull.

Problem: chart-legend (numbers) doesn't copy into Keynote

I have some charts from numbers (imported xls-files) that i want to copy into a keynote-presentation.
The chart can be pasted into the presentation, but the chart-legend never shows up.
I've tried selecting and copying the chart and the chart-legend but that doesn't work. Copying only the chart-legend also doesn't work.
Can somebody help me out here?
thanks,
jojo

For some reason, you need to Arrange > Group your Chart and Legend before Copying if you want them to stay together. Not sure why this is so, but the fix works.
My guess is:
when we copy paste without leaving a given program, we use a structure of the clipboard defined by the program itself. This structure gives the ability to copy paste different kinds of objects.
For instance, if we copy a chart and its legend in Numbers and paste in a different location in a Numbers document, which may be a different one, we paste the chart and the legend.
When we leave the source program to a enter a different program, if the proprietary clipboard format of this program is different than the source one, the clipboard's contents is "normalized" to match the destination program's requirements. When we pass from Numbers to Keynote, a clipboard containing a chart and a legend is normalized as a graphic object.
If we try to paste in a TextEdit document formatted as a Text one we will get nothing.
If we paste in a Textedit document formatted as RTF, we will get the chart.
My hope is
(a) that the iWork team build a proprietary clipboard structure common to the different components of the suite. I feel that this may be done.
(b) that the operating system is able to transfer the proprietary clipboard components between two programs using the same. I'm not sure that this requirement is satisfied at this time.

Chart legend too wide when using horizontal layout

I am using a flex chart with about 15 series on it. I've set
the legend direction variable to "horizontal". However since the
panel width which contains the chart is fixed, the legend sprawls
out to the right instead of going "wrapping around" nicely to stay
within the panel. As a result, you can't read the whole legend when
looking at the chart. The chart itself stays the proper width, but
the legend is too wide and can only be seen via using the scrollbar
to move horizontally. How can that be fixed?

Solerous, you must create a custom legend. Here's an example
that uses a grid to lay out the individual grid items. If you have
a variable number of series, then you can probably come up with
better logic for laying out the legend, but this should help get
you going.

How to programatically (dynamically) change the chart legend ?

How do I add new labels/symbols to the chart legend dynamically ?
I'm creating a scatter graph using the query
select A,B,C from tableX group by A
B is the y-axis, C is the x-axis. Points plotted for each grouping of A will be a different color. I know I can change the color of the point to be plotted thru the format trigger. The format trigger will change the color of the plotted points when there is a change in the grouping of A. My problem is how can I add a new label/color to the legend for each grouping of A as it is plotted ? The number of groupings of A is variable depending on what's in tableX. I need to programatically create the legend (each grouping of A will have it's own label/color) thru the format trigger as I won't know before hand how many groupings of A there will be.

Try with Presentation variables.

Custom format code changes to general

A chart made in Excel 2013 and published on a Sharepoint 2013 changes format
of data labels. Format of data labels in Excel 2013 chart has a Custom format
code (#.##0.;-#.##0.;;) When published on a Sharepoint 2013 Custom format
changes to General. But Numeric Format in a chart remains Numeric when published.<o:p></o:p>
Do not have such problem when chart is published on a Sharepoint 2010.

Ron, are you using the latest version? I am using many different colors on my Entities just fine.
I have previously seen individual entities that would not accept any color I tried to set them to - just as you explain it.

Date not being displayed in the custom format

Hi ,
I have a problem wherein i am unable to change the format of the date.
I need the date to be in the format 'January 10,2010.' however the date is being displayed as '1/10/10'. I have tried all options for the date formatting. I specified the custom format as 'MMMM D,YYYY' as mentioned in the SAP Library. I am trying to use the std custom options like YYYY-MM-DD, the date is not being dispalyed in the custom format provided by SAP either.
I have binded date from the context, used the Current Date field provided by SAP. Nothing works.
Its not working on the new form. However the old forms have the same kind of formatting and are being displayed as desired.
Please suggest as to what the issue could be.
Thanks,
Soumya.

Hi All,
Even I'm encountering the same issue. I'm trying to control the outputted date format programmatically.Please have a look.
data: v_int_date like sy-datum,
v_ext_date(10).
v_int_date = '20110201'
write v_int_date to v_ext_date MM/DD/YYYY.
Here I've tried to convert the date to external format using a fixed format(MM/DD/YYYY). But still it's getting outputted in the format DD/MM/YYYY only as that's the way its defined in the User Master!
Is there any solution for this? How can I 'override' defaults in the SAP User Master?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Custom formatting text?

I some documents with custom formatting in them, for example if a sentence was:
This should be {red}color.
Then the world "color" should be red and the {red} should not appear.
Now my current way of doing this it though a JTextPane.
I do something like this (currently dont have the code with me so it may not be 100% accurate):
// Get our temp
String temp = this.getText ( );
// Get our pos
int pos = temp.indexOf ( "{red}" );
// Set the first half
this.setText ( temp.substring ( 0, pos ) );
// Set the second half
this.setText ( this.getText ( ) + temp.substring ( pos + 6, temp.length ( ) - pos - 6 );
styledDocument.setCharacterAttributes(pos, this.getText ( ).length ( ) - pow, styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ), false);Is their any better ways to do this?
Can I automatically do like a
styledDocument.addReplace ( "{red}", styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ) ); So that it will automatically know what to replace? Thanks for any help!

Can I automatically do like a styledDocument.addReplace ( "{red}",
styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ) ); So that it will automatically know what to replace? No idea what you are asking. You can write you own method to do that if you want. But the StyledDocument can't do that for you.

Does anyone else have this problem?
