Graph Legend problem

Hi all.
I am using Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.1 and got some problems with graph legend. I have a Pie chart and a bar graph which are made from the same read only view object and I can´t understand why the legend on them don´t show the same things when they are made from the same view object. The pie has a status attribute choosen as slices and the bar graph has the same status attribute choosen as bars and it is these things I thought decide what names are shown in the legend. The values for the status are shown in the legend names but the pie shows the legend names in the same order as the query in the view object while the the bar graph show them in the opposite order. How can I make them show the legend names in the same order?

Bar graph legend problem

Hi I am using JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.3.0.
My problem is that I have made a bar graph inside an af:showDetailItem but the legends isn´t shown correct. I can´t see the legends at all when I place the legends in the bottom and if I place them in the right I can see half of the text. The source code is below. If someone can see something wrong in this code don´t hesitate to point it out or if someone know how to get this to work please let me know. To me it looks like a bug but I could be wrong.
<af:showDetailItem text="Søgulig gongd" id="sdi8"

GRAPH LEGEND LABELS NEED TO BE USER MODIFIABLE

GRAPH LEGEND LABELS NEED TO BE USER MODIFIABLE FOR DYNAMIC PARAM INPUT CONTROL
I've been told on Metalink that my problem can not be resolved in Reports 9i or 10G but a Internal enhancement request 3071917 has been logged.
Is it possible to have some timescales on this limitation?

I'd suggest that the easiest approach would be to add a trigger to the table:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trigger_name
BEFORE UPDATE OF comment_txt ON table_name
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
:new.last_updated_by := USER;
:new.last_update_date := SYSDATE;
END;This trigger will only fire when the COMMENT_TXT field is being updated and will set the LAST_UPDATE... values accordingly. The only downside to this approach would be if you want to store the OBI user and not the DB user. Effectively, you'd need to pass a parameter from OBI to the trigger to use instead of USER - bit more tricky...
Going back to your suggested approach, I don't think you need to worry about the RPD; the SQL that you define in the XML will bypass the RPD completely. In terms of what to use for the criteria for the report, you should be able to select the OBI user from a session variable and reference SYSDATE, SYSTIMESTAMP or the OBI equivalent to get what you need.

Illustrator Graph Legends change location on refresh

I have just upgraded from Illustrator 10 to Illustrator CS4. I have thousands of repeating graphs we use for production of newsletters, books, etc. With Illustrator 10, I would use the Group Selection tool to move a graph's legend and text to the position I wanted them, and they stayed put every time I edited the data. Now, after importing into CS4, I'm discovering that although the graph parts of the legend stay put (lines, squares of color for columns), my text for the legends moves with every refresh. This is a major problem for me, since we can't be moving these manually over and over every time I add data to a graph or make changes.
I knew the text is handled very differently between 10 and CS4, so I tested recreating some of my most used graphs from scratch in CS4 to see if this would solve the problem. It's actually worse; the text moves position far to the right or to the top, depending on whether Add Legend Across Top is selected or not. I never use legends in either of these spots, we always put them inside the graph, or outside on the bottom.
I think I must be missing something in now to update these graphs in CS4 to keep the legend text from jumping all over the place. Please tell me I'm missing something!

OK, no answers to my specific question as of yet. So can I just ask if those of you who use the Graph tool fairly frequently can answer this. Once you create a graph, do you move the legend? And if you do reposition the legend manually in a custom position (not top or left in the default position), and then update the data with changes, additions, etc., do the graph legends stick for you, or do they move?

Excel Graph Legend Formatting - Report Generation Tool

Hi all,
I'm currently using the Report Generation Tool for Labview '11 and cannot seem to figure out how to edit the font properties for a graph's legend. Attached is a screenshot of an example output.
The Excel Graph Font.vi's Help file says that it should be able to modify the legend, yet I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do so. If anyone can walk me through the steps or tell me what I am missing, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Solved!

Hello again,
It seems my team has decided to change direction and use Word instead of Excel. As such, I've been attempting to convert the VI ben64 provided, but I'm stuck on the ActiveX references... I've attached what I've done so far, but could someone help me (or instruct me) on making this VI work with Word?
Thanks.
The Word object model is probably the most complicated of the Office suite and you are loosing the calculation ability of Excel.
Attached is a vi to format the chart legend in a Word document.

XY Graph Cursor Problem in Labview 7.1.1?

Hallo,
I am using Labview 7.1.1 and I am facing one problem with XY graph cursor. If I am moving cursor in one graph, I am expecting same movement in another Graph. But when I move cursor in Graph1, cursor in second graph moves but not to exact X value of Graph1.
Property of Cursor in both graphs must be "Lock to Plot"
If any body knows about this please let me know ASAP. I am attaching example VI for your reference.
Thanks,
Sashi

XY Graph Cursor Problem.vi ‏101 KB

It's a curious effect. Probably the floating point coordinate is sensitive to the exact pixel alignment (I mean that this would not happen if we had for example 1 pixel per point in the X direction).
Anyway, if you use Cursor Index instead (which is an integer) the behaviour is as expected.

Programmatically display graph legend

I have a waveform graph to which I input a set of files using another subvi and the plot is shown in the mainvi where the waveform graph is placed.How to programmatically display the graph legend so that it shows all the plots that have been plotted. Manually this is done by resizing the legend.Is there a way to do that programmatically?Help please.

You could try use Property Node [right mouse button &: 'Create > Property
Node']. Waveform Graph has section for legend: right used LegPos and
LegPlots sould get you sattisfaction.

Graph Legend text size

Hello,
i cant find an attribute to set the text size of the graph legend.
There are som Plot Attributes to set the font and font length but no Attribute for the size?
How can i set the size of the grapg legend?
Thanks
Norbert Rieper

You can use a metafont that you create yourself, and thus use a custom size. For example:
CreateMetaFont ("my font", VAL_DIALOG_META_FONT, newSize, 0, 0, 0, 0);
SetPlotAttribute (panel, PANEL_GRAPH, plotId, ATTR_PLOT_LG_FONT, "my font");

Bug in Graph Legend Height Property

Hi All,
I am trying to set the height of the graph legend via property node and it seems it is not setting it to the input value. I set the value of the height and read it back and they do not match.
Is it a bug in the property node?
I have attached the vi to this post. Pls take a look at it.
Thanks,
Ritesh

I don't think it would be a bug. The legend height probably needs to be some multiple based on the font size of the legend.

Mixed signal graph : Legend udate problem

When manipulating the graph in diagram window with properety nodes like example "Plot Visible", the legend of the mixed signal diagram will not be updated. Only when refreshing the front panel by scrolling with the mouse up or down, the legend is correcty updated.
How to refresh the front panel programmatically or any other solution ?
Thankx,

Hello,
Thank you for posting to the NI Discussion Forums. I was unable to reproduce this problem with LabVIEW 8.0.1.
Perhaps this was a problem fixed in the release, or perhaps there is
something different about our two computers (such as OS for
example). Check out this page to update your version of LabVIEW 8. Please let me know if this fixes the problem.

Top 10 chart and legend problem

Post Author: training2go
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hello,
I am using CR for Visual Studio 2005.I create a top 10 chart with a legend. The chart is in the group header 1b section and I'm using the underlay option so that the chart is to the right of the detail records.
The chart and legend have 2 problems:
1. The chart displays entries that are not in the detail records. The top 2 pie slices are for amounts not in the detail records or in the legend
2. The percents in the legend are not correct.The first 3 entries in the legend are:
$5,879.70 18.1%$5,219.55 16.1%$10,886.79 11.2%I would think that the $10K amount would have the largest percent and the $5879 nbr would have the lower percent.I've looked every place that I can think of to find out what is causing this, but I'm not having any luck.I also tried putting the chart in the group footer section, but the results are the same.I've also noticed this in CR XI. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Label and legend problem in grouped month data pie chart for Crystal XI

Post Author: mikeyplop
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hi all, I have a problem with a pie chart I created based upon monthly figures that were grouped. The data type is DateTime but I have modified the report to show the date as January 2007, February 2007 etc. etc. This is all fine and appropriate as it is based on a gouping of all the data into months. However, when I chart the same data the labels and legend do not reflect this formatting. Instead they show up as 01/2007, 02/2007 etc. etc. I have searched the forums, but was unable to find any one else who has had the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Mikey

Graph Legend Index

I've seen this type of issue posted in the forums but never saw a resolution, or if anything was going to be done about it as a bug/issue/feature request. Lava Crosspost.
Basically you have a list of channels that you can view on a graph. As you choose more signals, the plot fills up, and the Plot Legend fills with the signal names. I have it set to show no scroll bar on the legend until you have more than 11 signals. There is no limit to the number of signals on the graph, (this test VI only has 20) and so to see all the signals you'll need to scroll. This all works fine. The issue is when you select many signals, then scroll down, then select only a few signals. The scroll bar will disappear (by design) but the value of the scroll bar stays the same, showing a blank plots. Without the scroll bar you cannot change the value and are stuck until you select more than 11 signals and scroll up.
So my question is this, is there a decent work around people have found? I can't find a property of the control that allows me to set the value of the scroll bar (or the optional index) back to zero. I also don't want to show the scroll bar when there are so few signals that it doesn't need to be seen. I would prefer a XControl that replaces the vertical scrollbar with one with more control, as well as not allow you to scroll down past the number of signals on the graph.
After some searching I found this post, without a resolution, and this item at the idea exchange. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Graph Channel List Problem.vi ‏15 KB

Jaume,
I've attached a very simple VI that uses the Horizontal and Vertical Splitter Bars to divide up the block diagram. Could you disable the scroll bar on the plot legend itself, expand it fully, and just use the scrollbar of the Vertical Splitter Bar? This way the whole window will scroll together, and the 2-D array of Booleans will always match up to the correct plot.

Graph legend width change - Left aligned or right aligned

Hello all,
when I place an XY-Graph with Plot-Legend shown in LV2012, the text of the plot name is left aligned, wich is, what I want. With this behaviour the little pictures, representing the plot attributes, are fixed. After migrating to LV2014 I realized, that the text is now right aligned, which means, that the little pictures are moving to left & right, depending on the plot name length.
I found no property controlling this behaviour.
As a workaround I could set the plot legend position depending on its width, when the plot name is changed, but there is no event, firing when the plot name is changed by the user. So I would have to poll the plot names in the timeout case of my event structure. Btw. I have to show six XY- graphs on my FP, so polling can cause a remarkable CPU load (when I do it 1000 times / s ).
Any suggestions?
Greets, Dave

Hello Dominik,
thank you for your reply.
I'd like to show you the problem with some pictures:
The left picture shows the original situation, the right picture demonstrates the behaviour with LV2012, the legend is right aligned.
The same situation in LV2014, the legend is right aligned.

Graph legend text oracle 11g

Hello everyeone, I´m migratting an aplicattion from 6i to 11g and I have a problem with graphs in reports. Now the report builder comes with an integretad wizard to generate graphs, but this wizard doesn´t let me to change the titles of the legend, it put the names of the columns from the query and I want to put my own text(static or dinamic) with blanks. I have tried to put an alias for the columns in the query, but the report builder changes every blank with a underscore so I think what I have to customize is the label for every column described on the legend changing the xml generated for the graph, but I don´t find the xml node in the documentation that I can use. I need help please!! thank you everyone.

Mascse,
I'm guessing you've already found the answer but try this if you haven't.
On the top line of the graph settings, you should see the dataValues. Add the same number of dataLabels and that may solve your problem.
dataValues="CAT1_num,CAT2_num,CAT3_num,CAT4_num" dataLabels="Front Desk, General, Nursing, Physician"
