Flash Bar Chart Customization

I am trying to get a flash bar chart that shows multiple bars on a single row. The X Axis is time, so basically I want to show that something happens from 10am until 12am, and then something else happens from 3pm until 5pm. But I want them both on the same row. They cannot be stacked, because there will always be gaps.
I looked in the Anychart documentation, and it appears that the attribute point_padding should address this problem, merely by giving it a value of -1 (because it is a percentage). But that has no impact. I tried adding it to the chart node, the block node, the set node, still nothing.
I am trying to do this with a 2D Horizontal Range chart.
My questions: Does Apex's chart plug-in not include some standard functionality from Anychart? Or is this perhaps an older version and is that attribute not supported? And is there anyplace where I can see what is included in the version Oracle distributes? Or failing that, does anyone have a better suggestion for how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

If you are using Apex version 3, it uses Anychart version 3.
If you want to use the custom XML option on your chart you need to know the XML spec. If you look on the Anychart website, their documentation is for Anychart version 4 and will not work! Check out the version 3 documentation at;

Axes Settings in Flash Bar charts

Hi,
When I specify the Y-Axes settings for a Flash bar chart(application express 3.0), starting at 0(Y Min value), the bars appear with the correct height, the moment Y-Min is set to a non zero +ve value, the height of the bar gets skewed
For eg: a bar of height 0.5 starts at 0 and ends at 0.5 when the Y-min value is 0.
However, if I set the Axes to begin at 0.2, the height of the bar still remains 0.5, ending at 0.7 instead, where as the height of the bar should actually be only 0.3, starting at 0.2 and ending at 0.5
Has anyone faced a similar problem before ?
One simple work around would be to diminish all values by a certain factor(0.2 in the above example). But, still the behavior of the chart is incorrect.
Please let me know if there is any property I need to set in my style sheet to circumvent the problem.
Thanks,
Aswath

sowji,
In the time I was putting together this reply, it looks like you figured it out, but here goes:
1) In your query, divide the values by one million.
2) In your Chart Attributes, Axes Settings section, set the Postfix value to M (to indicate millions).
3) Also in the Axes Settings, adjust the Y Axis Min, Max, and Grid Spacing values. I think you must enter Min and Max values for the Grid Spacing to have an effect, but I don't know for sure.
Hope this helps,
Gregory

Disable gradient on flash bar chart?

It seems that the default flash bar chart has a gradient running right down the middle of the bar. Is there a way to turn this off, so that I have a solid color?
Thanks for the help.

Building Flash Bar Chart

HI
I am building a flash bar chart which works, I load data from
a txt file.
When I load whole numbers, the chart works fine but when I
load a number like 7.5 it stays at 7 or
goes to 8.
I am using the flash time line as the reference on the bar
chart. My question is there a way to get the .2, .5 decimal spots
to match up correctly? how can I do this?
Thanks

Y min value not working in horizontal Flash Bar Charts

Hello All,
Going crazy trying to work this one out.
I have a problem with a Flash Chart (APEX version 3.0.1.00.07)
The data mainly begins at 97 and goes to no more than 100, therefore I want the min to start at 96 so the results don't look to similiar. Why when I imput my minimum value, it does not work for Horizontal Flash charts ?
It seems to work for stack or vertical charts, can something be done via the "custom XML" ?

Hi Deb,
Both of your queries are using multi-series syntax i.e. returning more than one series of data, therefore your generated chart is actually generating 6 series rather than just the two that you're aiming for. You could try changing your queries to ensure they each generate a single series of information, which would then result in the extra Y-axis being applied to your "Series 2". Here's an example of what I mean:
Series 1:
select null link, label, value from (
select 'test' label, 1 value from dual
union all
select 'test2' label, 2 value from dual
union all
select 'test3' label, 3 value from dual
)Series 2:
select null link, label, value from (
select 'test' label, 100 value from dual
union all
select 'test2' label, 200 value from dual
union all
select 'test3' label, 300 value from dual
)I hope this helps.

Stacked bar chart order issue

I am definitely missing something here.
I have a stacked flash bar chart which displays 3 types of counts per year_month. I cannot get the bars in the correct order.
It's mostly correct except for 2 bonkers cases where it puts 2005_12 and 2006_01 to the right of
2011_01 . I cannot figure out what causes this. There is a peculiarity involving those 2 year_months in that every other
year_month had > 0 number of the first type of count except these 2 which solely had the second type of count.
But how this translates into an order issue I have no idea. The query orders the data by year_month.
Any ideas?
the last part of the query is:
select null LINK, (a.YEAR_MONTH) "LABEL", b.OVERNIGHTS,c.DAYTIMES,d.NAPS from
year_months a, myovernights b, mydaytimes c, mynaps d
where a.yearmonth < to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMM') and
a.year_month = b.year_month(+) and
a.year_month = c.year_month(+) and
a.year_month = d.year_month(+) order by a.YEAR_MONTH
year_months is a view with 2 fields:
year_month varchar2(7) (yyyy_mm)
yearmonth number(6) (yyyymm)
and contains all the year_months from our time 0 up to 2020.

yeah! I figured it out, based on reading this thread:
Anychart, show empty diagram ?
So stacking chart-ers, make sure to remember to use nvl in your query to return 0 instead of null!
select null LINK, (a.YEAR_MONTH) "LABEL", nvl(b.OVERNIGHTS,0),nvl(c.DAYTIMES,0),nvl(d.NAPS,0) from
year_months a, myovernights b, mydaytimes c, mynaps d
where a.yearmonth < to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMM') and a.year_month = b.year_month(+) and
a.year_month = c.year_month(+) and
a.year_month = d.year_month(+) order by a.YEARMONTH
duh, I knew it would be something elementary! Having said that though I don't think it should be the case that
the order departs from the order in the query. It would be better to change this behavior or at least warn people
that it happens.

Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.

CR for VS 2005 - Bar Chart - Bar colors

Hi,
I'm creating a report in Visual Studio 2005 and have a bar chart in it. I've searched the forums but can't seem to find out how to change the colors of the Series bars.
If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ron

Apparently, the version of CR that ships with Visual Studio doesn't allow much in the way of customization. I have since upgraded to CR 2008 and can now change the bar colors.

Stacked bar chart x axis crunching up

Post Author: Pranab
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I have purchased Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup 4.5. I have created a dashboard in which I have used webservices call to get data from database.
One of the three charts of my dashboard is a stacked bar chart. Now my problem is, when the webservice gets data and refresh the chart, the x-axis of it becomes squeezed and the main chart becomes very small. It becomes so in runtime. However in design mode i didnt notice such behavior.
But same flash file s showing fine when I am using it somewhere else.
I am facing big trouble, as I tried to search in web about this problem, but couldnt find such case.

Bar chart and Line chart in a single chart??

Hello,
Was wondering if there is any way to create a bar chart and line chart in a single Flash or SVG chart? If not, are there any plans to introduce such a chart type in the future releases?
Regards,
Dev

Dev,
I don't think you can do that using standard Flash or SVG. However, you can do this
using my XML Chart Package
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:58
and the instructions given on
http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/index.php?menu=Gallery&submenu=Composite
You can modify the package to do that for you.

How to create stack bar chart on answers that shows % and counts?

Hello guys
I currently have a table that have several columns, each column represent one product name, and one column name "units" indicating how each product is sold...
The requirement is to create a chart view with stack bar that shows the percentage of each product''s unit sales.
Now we are discussing whether we should customize the table to consolidate all these product columns into one "product desc" column with all the product names as row in order to fulfill this requirement..
PLease let me know whether this is needed or not... ALso, how would I be able to create stack bar charts that shows the total sales against each product sales in percentage and counts?
Please let me know, I really appreciate it

I tried to do this and was a bit successful. I used the paint catalog. Created a a request with 6 columns assuming units and dollars be stacked and Year ago units to be a line:
Brand Units Dollars 0 Year_Ago_units 1
Added a new request (Combined with similar request and selected paint subject area): Now in this request my columns are:
Brand 0 0 Year_Ago_Dollars Year_Ago_units 2
Assuming Year_Ago_Dollars be standard in your case.
Created a chart view with brand and 1 on x axis and Units, Dollars, Year_Ago_Dollars on y axis and line as Year_Ago_units.
Now able to see what I am expecting. May be you need to tweak a bit more according to your requirement.
Let me know if this is of any help!
Thanks.

Bar Chart - Pie Chart custmization

Hi,
I have a criteria ready to display "Sales by Region", using this I have developed a bar chart and a pie chart.
My question is, if I customize a color for region (Using Format Chart Data) in bar chart with specific color, the same should be picked up in Pie Chart.
Can this be made?
Regards,
Jitendra

Both the chart's are independent. The columns you might be using are same but when the Graph's are considered they are different.

IR Chart Customization

Hello -
I am looking to customize the Dynamic Charts that can be generated by an Interactive Report. For instance, I would like to be able to set a minimum value for the bar chart value axis. I have searched the forum for term such as 'IR Chart Customization', 'Interactive Report Customize', 'Interactive Report Customize Charts', et al and it appears that either there is a lack of information about the topic or the search algorithm and I don't speak the same language. I've waded through page after page of irrelevant search results.
So, I turn to everyone here. Does anybody have any idea where I should begin to look for making slight changes to the Dynamic Charts of an IR? I realize that much of the code is probably generated by a procedure or function likely in a package. I'm just looking for a starting place to begin this journey. I am fully aware that this may be an exercise in futility, but you can't blame me for trying to develop an application that will meet the needs of my organization.
Many thanks.
Austin

Hi Mehabub,
As Krunal has already correctly stated, it isn't possible to write a separate chart query with links for an Interactive Report chart. Only the attributes exposed via the Actions > Format > Chart menu are available for IR charts.
To have more control over your chart, you would need to create a separate chart region on your page, which would expose a much wider variety of chart types and attributes to you....and allow you to generate a drill down chart.
Regards,
Hilary

Stacked Bar Chart - SVG

Hi,
My department is conducting a series of SWOT sessions. Each item submitted during the sessions is given a category (such as Project Management), a quadrant (such as Strength), and a participant (such as Staff). I'm trying to display a stacked bar chart that will show the amount of items per quadrant for each category.
I ran into, what looks like, the common bug with null values being returned. I tried to fix this using the query below. I use the same query below for 4 series (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and hardcode the quadrant name accordingly (is that correct?). If only one series exists, the graph works fine. If more than one exists, the graph does not display (no error is given, it simply does not display). Does anybody have any insight? Am I taking the wrong approach with my query?
select null link, c.category_name label, nvl(count(i.item_name),0) value
from swot_item i, swot_category c, swot_quadrant q
where i.item_category = c.category_id
and i.item_quadrant = q.quadrant_id
and q.quadrant_name = 'STRENGTH'
AND (instr(':'||:P1_CATEGORY_LIST||':',':'||i.item_category||':') > 0 OR TO_CHAR(:P1_CATEGORY_LIST) = 'ALL')
AND (instr(':'||:P1_PARTICIPANT_LIST||':',':'||i.item_session||':') > 0 OR TO_CHAR(:P1_PARTICIPANT_LIST) = 'ALL')
group by c.category_name
union all
select null link, c.category_name label, 0 value
from swot_category c where c.category_name not in (select c.category_name
from swot_item i, swot_category c, swot_quadrant q
where i.item_category = c.category_id
and i.item_quadrant = q.quadrant_id
and q.quadrant_name = 'STRENGTH'
AND (instr(':'||:P1_CATEGORY_LIST||':',':'||i.item_category||':') > 0 OR TO_CHAR(:P1_CATEGORY_LIST) = 'ALL')
AND (instr(':'||:P1_PARTICIPANT_LIST||':',':'||i.item_session||':') > 0 OR TO_CHAR(:P1_PARTICIPANT_LIST) = 'ALL')
group by c.category_name
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
Which version of APEX are you using? In 3.0, you can use a Flash chart, which supports a single query for all 4 series like this:
select null link, c.category_name label,
       sum(decode(q.quadrant_name,'STRENGTH',1,0)) "Strengths",
       sum(decode(q.quadrant_name,'WEAKNESS',1,0)) "Weaknesses",
       sum(decode(q.quadrant_name,'OPPORTUNITY',1,0)) "Opportunities",
       sum(decode(q.quadrant_name,'THREAT',1,0)) "Threats"
from swot_item i, swot_category c, swot_quadrant q
where i.item_category = c.category_id
and i.item_quadrant = q.quadrant_id
AND (instr(':'||:P1_CATEGORY_LIST||':',':'||i.item_category||':') > 0 OR TO_CHAR(:P1_CATEGORY_LIST) = 'ALL')
AND (instr(':'||:P1_PARTICIPANT_LIST||':',':'||i.item_session||':') > 0 OR TO_CHAR(:P1_PARTICIPANT_LIST) = 'ALL')
group by c.category_name- Marco

Getting rid of Markers in Flash Line charts

Hi,
I am trying to use Flash Line charts for plotting a few time series graphs. I wish to get rid of the markers and have only the lines.
Is there any property I need to set to get rid of these markers. I tried "Marker Size=0" in the <line> setting. but doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
