Dynamic creation of business graphics.

Hi,
i have a piece of code which dynamically create a business graphics. If i use the same node data and create BG in statically.. i am able to view the graph. In case of dynamic creation , i am getting graphical rendering error. Have i missed something here..
The piece of code i had used is..
     IWDBusinessGraphics bg = (IWDBusinessGraphics)view.createElement(IWDBusinessGraphics.class,null);
          IWDCategory c = (IWDCategory)view.createElement(IWDCategory.class,null);
     //     c.setDescription("tableutility");
          c.bindDescription(wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateSDNUtilityView.IContextElement.TEST));
bg.setCategory(c);
          bg.setDimension(WDBusinessGraphicsDimension.PSEUDO_THREE);
          IWDSimpleSeries ss = (IWDSimpleSeries)view.createElement(IWDSimpleSeries.class,null);
          ss.bindValue(wdContext.nodeDepartments().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateSDNUtilityView.IDepartmentsElement.NO_OF_PEOPLE));
          ss.setLabel("Simple Series");
          ss.setLabel("No of People");
          bg.addSeries(ss);
          bg.setChartType(WDBusinessGraphicsType.COLUMNS);
          bg.bindSeriesSource(wdContext.nodeDepartments().getNodeInfo());
          bg.setIgsUrl("http://<hostname>:40080");
Please help.

Dynamic Values in Business Graphics Tool Tip

hi,
I am using business graphics ui element in my webdynpro application.I am able to get the graghical output correctly.I want to have tool tip in my graph so when I place the cursor on a point, the tool tip should give the corresponding value.I have used the following code

Dynamic title in Business Graphics

Hi to all!
I'm working with a Business Graphics and I'd like a title in the final rendered graphic. The problem is that the text I want to show is not static, it's the name of the person who is using the application.
The question is: Can I bind the title of the graphic to a context attribute? or is it possible to pass parameters to the graphic?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
We have achieved this thru....
1. If you navigate to src folder of your project... src\<package structure>...
in that there will be a file <viewname>.wdview file. Where <viewname> referes to the name of the view in which business graphics UI element is used.
2. Open that file with notepad, and you can see the structure of BusinessGrpahics UI element specified in xml format. In that copy what ever between <BusinessGraphics.CustomizingXML>...</BusinessGraphics.CustomizingXML> including these tags also.
3. In the wdModifyView method of view name obtain the Business Graphics UI element and set the Direct Customizing to the above copied xml(as a string)
String customXML = "<BusinessGraphics.CustomizingXML>....</BusinessGraphics.CustomizingXML>";
IWDBusinessGraphics bg = (IWDBusinessGraphics)view.getElement("<business graphics UI element ID>");
bg.setDirectCustomizing(customXML);
4. In that xml string, the value under <Elements> .. <ChartElements> .. <Title> .. <caption> points to the title. you can replace that with your dynamic value.

Dynamic Tooltip Text over Business Graphics

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a possibility to display dynamically point coordinates (or other tooltip text) in a Business Graphics when the mouse is going over the gragh or when clicking ?
Thanks a lot
Marc

Hello Marc,
WebDynpro Point, Series and SimpleSeries elements have a tooltip property that you can define whether in design time or runtime.
Please see the details here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dd/65d79bb3b2e34e8b68f59129e7d811/frameset.htm

Business Graphics UI SimpleSeries Changing Label Dynamically

Hi guys, I am using the business graphic UI element in one of my WD4A component. My BG has 2 simple series and one category. As I can see, using simple series, the label property cannot be bound against a context node attribute. I have to find a way to set this property dynamically.
According to this link: click after on the simple series
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ed/258841a79f1609e10000000a155106/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ed/258841a79f1609e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
It seems we can change the label property dynamically, maybe using the API but how?
I found the interface IF_WD_BUSIN_GRAPHICS_MTD_HNDL, but I don't know how to use it!
thanks
Alex

Hi Alexandre,
have a look at the Web Dynpro component WDR_TEST_EVENTS, view BG_SIMPLE_IN_MPANE, method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
Here is a snippet for setting additional customizing or data for a business graphics view-element. Call this from method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
DATA lr_bg TYPE REF TO cl_wd_business_graphics.
DATA lr_bg_method_handler TYPE REF TO if_wd_busin_graphics_mtd_hndl.
DATA lr_add_cust_xml TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
lr_bg ?= ir_view->get_element( <your viewid of business graphic> ).
lr_bg_method_handler ?= lr_bg->_method_handler.
lr_add_cust_xml = get_<your additional customizing/data>.
lr_bg_method_handler->add_direct_customizing(
i_customizing = lr_add_cust_xml
Kind regards,

How to add series to Business Graphics control dynamically?

Hi Experts,
How to add series to Business Graphics control dynamically?
I tried the method add_series( ) but could not use it properly.
If you have any clues of using it, let me know.
I need it urgently.
Best Regards,
Arti.

I'm not sure what ADD_SERIES method you are refering to. The only programable API for the Business Graphics that I found was this one:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/e61cd068dc3ee4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
I've not ever tried it, but you not just add the series UI element like any other dynamic UI manipulation during the WDDOMODIFYVIEW?

How to use series in business graphic ui element

Hi All,
How to use the series in business graphic ui element? my requirement is i have to display the sales in selected months in graph(these values dont know at design time).
Regards
Srikanth

Hi,
Use the dynamic node and bind this node to the BG source node and series nodes.
Create a node and bind this node to the BG source and the value that you want to shown in series has to be bound to that attribute of the node and similarly with the category.
Check out for the dynamic node creation and bind this node to the BG.

Business Graphics API in WEBAS J2EE

Hi,
i have a business graphic integrated into my webdynpro application. I checked the api documentation for business graphics and found out, how to change the type of the business graphic and the number of dimensions programmatically.
On the API, i cannot find out any further possibilities of modifing the chart programmatically. I wonder about this, because the business graphic UI - element in NetWeaver Developer studio provides much more configuration possibilities on charts.
For example, i would like to use the averagre functions or adapt the number of labels on the chart axis. But all dynamically.
Has anyone experience, with such advanced business graphics features and nows if it is somehow possible to get to theses features by using the NetWeaver API?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Christoph

As I understand, your user management is through database, so when a user is created in your application, the parameters pass through the Action Handler -> service class-> DAO. So a better way would be write an additional class with the user management implementation of BO with a constructor or a method which would take the required user creation parameters and call it in the service class just under the user creation method of your DAO.
As the user in your system passes some information from the front end, the same can be used to create user in BO.

Business Graphics UI element Column Width

I am using business graphics UI element in my Web Dynpro application to display the chart in columns .
I am able to display the chart properly based on the node data.
But the issue that I am facing is that when the node data is less, the column in the chart is getting expanded(column width is increased) as I am not able to set the width of the column dynamically based on the node size.
The column width keeps on changing based on the node size.
Is there any possible way to set the column width dynamically or fix the column width irrespective of the node size?

Business Graphics Customizing

Hi,
i want to set customizing for my business graphics element in Abap WebDynpro.
If i click with the right mouse button on the BG element, and change something and then click ok, the transport request dialog appears. I select one and click ok.
But the system does not create the Folder "MIME Objects" in the WebDynpro Component! In another system it creates this folder and includes the created customizing xml file. But not in this system. Why?
The consequence is that it ignores the customizing if i run the wd component.
Can anybody help?
Kind Regards,
Thomas

If you use the chart designer tool (by clicking secondary mouse button on the business graphics ui element), it automatically sets an url into "customizing".
you find this generated xml in mime repository -> sap > bc > webdynpro > <application_name>.
My question now is:
How can i use the settings i made dynamically in a method?
i tried it by setting an id like this:
lr_series_element->set_attribute( name = 'CUSTOMIZING' value = 'Series2' ).
In View designer i set "CustomizingID" to the corresponding node in context..
Thx a lot!

Business Graphics - Series Label

Hi,
I have 1 Category and 4 series in a Business Graphics. I want to display the Series Labels dynamically, and i have to map to the Context Variables for the Labels. But, i am not seeing any option to map the Label property to the Context Variable.
Any Ideas? Please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
I assume you are currently using the SimpleSeries in your application. Try to use Series with Points und Values. It is more complicated, but gives you more possibilities such as binding labels etc.
Hope that helps

Customizing Property of Business Graphics UI Element

Hello Web DynPro Developers,
I'm trying to implement a dynamicly created Business Graphic. In order to set the properties for the "Series" (which will normaly be set through the Chart Designer) i try to deliver a XML Customizing File with the customizing properties.
The API Documentation says that this property requieres a URL which points to a valid XML file.
After setting the Customizing property to a URL with an XML Configuration, the J2EE Engine does not try to retrieve the XML document (traffic watch).
Is this a not implemented feature? How to set the configuration of Business Graphic dynamically?

Dear Kai,
Thanks a lot for your response.
1. According to your suggestion (note 531668), it has been found that XMLCHART is already installed on our Integrated IGS server.
2. According to note 1028690, it has been found that "IGS 6.40 with patch level 19 or higher" should be available, but in our case we have "IGS 6.40 with patch level 16". Now what I would like to inquire is that does upgradation have any side effects on server?
For your information I would like to clear you that I want to use Vrinda font (its a standard font), but at present font shown in the chart is Arial.
Do we need to install some other Interpreter (eg. GFWCHART)? or some thing else is required to show the desired standard font?
Regards,
Nittin

Accessing Business Graphics using the WebDynpro API

I would like to access Business Graphics created with IGS using the WebDynpro Business Graphics API.
I have no problem displaying the graphic in WebDynpro UI, but i have no idea how to access the binary data of the graphic to work with it outside of WebDynpro UI (in fact i want to embed it into a PDF form).
Is there any possibility to do this using the WebDynpro API?
I would appreciate your help!
Regards,
Christoph

Thanks, but this al clear to me. I am able to display business graphics on web without problem (I have dynamic Business Graphic in my WebDynpro User Interface).
The Problem is, that i want to make further processing with the graphic. Therefore i need to access the binary data of the graphic.
Do you know if there is any possibility to get the binary data of the bmp - image generated by IGS into a byte array?

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,
Siva

Hi,
Use the following document to create Business Graphics in WDA.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ca932ebc-0901-0010-68a0-b4dd81a4bf81
For further information, have a look at the WDP component WDR_TEST_EVENTS, views BG*.
Also go through the Business Graphics UI elements in the Reference section of the WDP Documentation.
