Instruments ObjectAlloc Graph question

Hello,
I'm in the process of finalizing my iPhone application for release. Right now I'm focused on performance tuning and hunting down memory leaks. I've been using the Instruments application to help find memory leaks and it has been quite wonderful. I was able to successfully fix the few memory leaks reported. I'm relatively new to using instruments and I did have 1 question about the ObjectAlloc instrument:
In general I've noticed that the CurrentBytes display graph of the ObjectAlloc instrument is always going up. It's not going up rapidly, but just slowly overtime during the use of my application. Even when some of my objects get deallocated it doesn't seem to make the graph go down. This seems wrong to me. The Leaks instrument is not reporting any memory leaks at this time. Why would my ObjectAlloc graph continue to go up? Should I be worried about this? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or reading the graph wrong?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
-Keith

Thanks for the explanation Mark that is what I suspected but it helps to have it confirmed.
A second question. I notice that the Net Bytes and #Net are going up over time very slowly. It seems to ramp up at the beginning and then plateau around 8420000 bytes. After playing the game a few times more it may be up to 8430000 bytes or so. Leaks isn't reporting any memory leaks. Any idea what might be going on or how I may be able to go about tracking this down?
Thank you,
-Keith

3D graph question

Hi everyone,
I have 2 questions concerning the 3D graph.
1°) I can’t find in the property node how to position the view as XY (it’s possible to do it right clicking on the graph, then CWGraph3D,….). Is there a way to set it throw the property node?
2°) In the color map editor (see print screen under graph) the figures don’t stay as I have put them although I press on “ok” for saving
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
User

Hello User_1979,
Thanks for posting on National Instruments forum.
There is a property node to change programmatically the ViewMode:
About your second question, you should be able to set your value then click OK and then click Apply on the Property page. I'm in LabVIEW 2010 and I don't have any problem.

Discoverer Desktop Graphing Questions

I have several questions about the graphing tool in Discoverer Desktop:
1. I'm bringing in a customer id field which I convert with a to_char in the query from a numeric field. Most of them are 5-digit, but some are 4. I notice in the x-axis the customer id's appear only for the 5 digit id's, and for the 4-digit ones the identifier appears. i.e. if the 5th record has an id of 1508, instead of displaying 1508 it displays 5. Does anyone know how to correct this?
2. In the y-axis values, is it possible to display more than 5 decimal places? (We're dealing with very small percentages). When I try to enter 6 or higher as the decimal value in Options, it says invalid number.
3. When I open an existing workbook, it readjusts the y-axis scale to a max of 1, when I've set it to .0001. How I can I make this retain my scale values?
4. Is it possible to display the y-values in the graph area itself next to the plot points?
Thanks for any help!!!!

Hi paul,
Its a good idea to upgrade from 4i to 10g 4i is no more used by many and their are some issues or bugs with it.The latest version is 11g which has been released 1 week back.If not go with 10g version available.
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?Yes they have to stored in the database so any ened user can access them from plus or viewer.
Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.Yes,if the reports are registered as different reports and if the end user has access to both the reports thn he can open and compare it OR if both reports are in same workbook as different sheets than its easy to view or compare.
NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.It should show blank,might be some problem.In discoverer 10g i think you will not find this issues.
Hope this helps you.
Best Wishes,
kranthi.

Line Graph Question: Compare different values thru time ...

Hi, hope someone can help me I've been looking at examples, but I cant get this to work:
Here is a link to what the data looks like: http://primolandia.com/line_problem.jpg
As you can see, I have a table with columns: Team, Date, CriteriaNum1, CriteriaNum2, CriteriaNum3
One graph per Criteria which compares how each Team did on that Criteria thru time...
So I want the X axis to have the "Date" and have one line per team showing the value at different times ...
Any ideas?
Thank you!!!

I wish to withdraw this question ... I finally figured out my issue...

Specific Excel graph question for Indesign

Hello,
I have a question about how to use an image generated on Excel for mac for Adobe Indesign CC. I have browsed the forums here and googled but I'm not finding solutions for my specific question (so please bear with me, thanks). I have a report for work that requires a lot of bar graphs. The graphs are all done on Excel for mac 2011. I have tried two different ways of importing it into InDesign (also for mac) - 1) saving the graph as a PDF and then placing into InDesign, and 2) copying and pasting the Excel graph into Illustrator and then saving it as an ai file. In both cases, the ai file looks a bit better but the fonts seem a bit jarbled/compacted once I place it into InDesign. The font I use is Times New Roman. Also, since my report is laid out in a 2-column format, I need a chart to fit a space that is approximately 3 inches by 3.5 inches. Whenever I import the image, it’s significantly larger so I place it to fit the 3x3.5 inch space proportionally. When that happens, the fonts don't look quite right on the screen. I need to ensure that the chart looks sufficient once it’s printed on paper. I only recently began learning InDesign (self-taught) so your advise is appreciated.

First, the preview may be at a lower quality, so see how it looks with View > Display Performance > High Quality Display set. Second, ID always displays some sort of preview on screen, but uses the actual image data for output, so export a page to PDF and print it to judge the quality.

Time Scale Graph questions

Hi, I am VERY new to Labview. I am using Labview 7.0 with a PCI 6220 card. I have a VERY simple VI that plots input voltage [+/- 10V] with respect to time. Currently the graph plots continuosly each time a measurement is taken [Tmax - Tmin = ~1ms]. I want to graph to instead plot a continuous graph with a curve that starts at Tmin = 0, and ends at Tmax=1min, giving me a complete curve.
Your help would be very much appreciated!!!

Hi heepofajeep,
Here's a screenshot I hope will help you. Basically, if you append the waveform each time through the loop, you can display it all on the graph at the same time.

Graph question

hi, I have to do this project for a class, i dont want to know how to do it, just if someone can help point me in the right direction to get me started.
Im supposed to take an undirected graph and construct an adjacency list representation of the graph.
My question is,
first, i am unclear on the deffinition of an undirected vs a directed graph.
Second, what is the best way to construct this structure? Do I actraly create a graph object or use a linked list im just a little confused.
Thanks for the help
_stevebiks

A undirected graph is one where the connections between nodes have no specific direction. They're not one-way streets, they're two-way streets.
An adjacency list is a list of all node-pairs which are directly connected (they're neighbours in the graph). You can have a NodePair class to represent them. What actual data structure you use to hold them should be an implementation detail hidden in a class say AdjacencyList. You can start using an ArrayList but that shouldn't be known from the outside. The functionality of AdjacencyList depends on what you want to use it for but a minimum would be an add method and a way to iterate through all stored NodePair objects.

Programming graph question

I need to be able to create a calss that graphs a grade distribution (number of A's, B's, C's D's, and F's) horizontally by printing lines with proportionate numbers of asterisks corresponding to the percentage of grades in each category.
Could anyone help me out? I have no idea where to begin lol :P

This that is along the lines of what i am meaning... here ill just write out the full question lol :P ;)
Create a class that graphs a grade distribution (Number of A's, B's, C's, D's and F's) horizontally by printing lines with proportionate numbers of asterisks corresponding to the percentage of grades in each category. Write methods to set the number of each letter grade; read the number of each letter grade; return the total number of grades; return the percentage of each letter grade as a whole number between 0 and 100, inclusive; and draw the graph. Set it up so that 50 asterisks correspond to 100 percent (each one corresponds to 2 percent), include a scale on the horizontal axis indicating each 10 percent increment from 0 to 100 percent and label each line with its letter grade.
For example, if there are 1 A, 4 B's, 6C's 2 D's and 1 F, the total number of grades is 14, the percentage of A's is 7, the percentage of B's is 29, the percentage of C's is 43, the percentage of D's is 14 and the percentage of F's is 7. The A row would contain 4 asterisks (7 percent of 50 rounded to the nearest interger), the B row 14, the C row 21, the D row 7, and the F row 4.

Graph questions

hello
I want to use Graph demo in oracle form 10g using OTN demo.I have some questions.
1. Is there any way to change the color of bars in chart? colors set random.Is it Right?
2. when the value is large tooltips shows the round value. How can I avoide it from rounding?
your help is really appreciated
thanks in advance

OK, in this case an intensity graph seems to be the right thing but there is a small complication.
Since each byte contains 8 pixels, you need to expand each byte into 8 bytes.
Easiest would be to typecast it into a boolean array using "4.x mode" (very important!), then use "boolean to 0,1) to convert it to the final array.
(you might need to transpose the array or flip an axis to make it upright).
I have attached a small demo (LabVIEW 7.0) on how to do this.

General Graph Question

Hello all,
I am interested in learning about graphs and shortest paths in Java, particularly for problems like the Word Ladder from SIGCSE 2001. I have read up about graphs in a couple Algorithm / Java books, but they mostly describe the structures and behaviors of graphs and algorithms to traverse graphs (BFS, DFS, etc), but I'm having a difficult time understanding how to "construct" a graph.
For example, if one was interested in finding the shortest path between two five letter words in a graph (start vertex, end vertex), you could read in all five letter words that are to be tested into an unordered Array. After the words are all stored in the unordered array, you could BFS the unordered array which would take the starting vertex (a word from the unordered array), add it to a queue, mark that vertex as visited, remove it from the queue, and then find the next word that only has a one letter difference than the last, add that to the queue, mark it as visited, search for the next word that's only one letter away from the second in the unordered array, etc?
money <----- Starting vertex
honey
etc
etc
etc
(ending vertex)
I don't know if I did a good job of explaining what I'm asking... Generally what it boils down to is that I'm having a difficult time understanding the actual concept of graphs and how they are constructed, assuming you have a bunch of five letter words (Word Ladder) and you need to find the shortest path between first word and the last word you supply.
I've tried searching around the net for a good example of graphs actually being constructed and searched through in Java, but something isn't clicking with me. Is there anybody that could assist in helping me understand this concept?
Any help would be appreciated, and I apologize in advance if I'm not supposed to post general questions in this forum.

Building the graph is the lesser of the tedious jobs you have to do: every word represents a node. An edge from node A to node B occurs if word A differs in only one letter with word B. If you represent the graph as nodes having an outgoing edge list then B contains A in its list only if A contains B in its list, i.e. the graph isn't directed. e.g. "honey" is one 'hop' away from "money" because "money" is one 'hop' away from "honey"; the 'hop' is the edge. Once you have that complete graph you can play with shortest path algorithms etc.
kind regards,
Jos
ps. personally I'd build a BitSet per node indicating which other node(s) are one hop away from that node. The words can be simply stored in a linear array.

Scatterplot graph question

I apologize if this is a basic question but I have been unable to find an answer:
I have a scatterplot with a line of best fit with for 5 plots. It's an absorbance vs concentration graph.
However, I need to determine an unknown concentration based on an absorbance I have using my known data. Thus I need to determine an x value for a plot that is not on my current graph. Can someone help me figure out how to do this?

I would check the box "Show Equation" in the Chart Inspector > Series > Trendline:
Then you can use the equation to solve for your unknown quantity

Can anyone help with a dynamic graph question?

I have a subreport that I'm having a lot of difficulty with and I dont know if I've hit the limitations of CR or I just don't know how to do it. I need to set the subreport graph parameters on the fly and I can't figure out how to do this. Here is the situation:
My report prints a vendor report card, one vendor per report page. For each vendor, I need to access a table and pull all parts that the vendor supplies our company with. Then, I need to create a seperate 2D bar graph for each part that is listed under the vendor. Since this is a subreport and would run for each vendor, and each vendor can have 1 to n-number of different parts, I need to create these graphs on the fly. Is this possible? Any suggestions. The furthest I have gotten was I can create a OLE DB(ADO) command that retrieves the parts for each vendor.
But from there I am stuck. Once I have these parts per vendor, how can I iterate through them and create a new 2d bar graph for each one? The graph itself would display on the x axis all of our vendors that supply us with a part, ranking them. So if a vendor supplies us with Rubber Hoses, magnesium and Aluminum then I would need three graphs, one for each, Rubber Hoses, Mag, Al that would list the vendor on the x axis and points on the y axis pertaining to that specific part. Understand? Is this possible? Help please. Thank you.

The CR for .NET SDK doesn't have the ability to create graphs on the fly. I suggest that you design your report in Crystal Reports and get it working the way you want there. Work as much with parameters and formulas as you can. The .NET SDK will allow you to pass parameters and modify formulas at runtime.

XY graph question

I have an XY graph that I'm using to display data read from a TDMS file. I'm using a property node to set the XScale.Maximum and XScale.Minimum to allow the user to see only a portion of the graph at once. This way they see the latest data more easily and then they can scroll to the left see older data. My challenge is the Y scale. It auto scales to the the highest and lowest value recorded throughout the entire graph and not just what is being shown in the display.
How can I get the graph to auto scale the Y axis for only the data the user is currently viewing at the moment?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not sure if it needs to be progromatically or not.
The problem with doing it the way you describe (I think) is that I'd have to only run the data that is currently being viewed through the min/max funtion for it to work the way I want. As the user scrolls, that data would change and need ran through the Min/Max again. If I run all of the data through, I'm back where I started because the Min and Max may be places that aresn't currently being viewed by the user.
I hope that makes sense. If not, please let me know and I'll try to clarify.
Thanks for the help.

Line Graph Question

Hi
I am trying to create a graph where I have 3 data points
this relates to inspections
House number      Items found date of inspections
101                                  30              April, 2 2014
201                                  34            May 1 2014
Y axis I am showing items found
x axis I am displaying the House number
I would like to also display the month the inspection occurred
A am currently displaying the month in the legend at bottom of page
But would like to do something like below
I am getting x and y ok but not month display (Thanks)
        |
30    |
20    |
10    |__________________________________
                                  101 201      301 302 303
          JAN FEB MAR APR MAY        JUN

Hi
I have it in the report header
I have created a formula to extract the month from inspection date
I added both the data expert for the x axis sorted original sort
each month can contain any number or inspections and indicated by different colours on the line
graph matching the legend colours
What would be great is if I can delineate where each months data starts and stops
it's sort of done by the graph now by using different colours but I would like to label it
tried every option but could not pull it off
thanks

Report Line Graph Question

Hi, I am plotting a line graph with some date values on the X axis and some data on the Y axis.
For Example:
Sep 01 11
Sep 02 19
Sep 03 14
Sep 04
Sep 05 9
Sep 06
Sep 07
Sep 08 19
This will result in gaps on the 4th, 6th and the 7th. This is expected behaviour. However, is it possible to set some properties in the graph so the line will be continuous. For Example From 14 to 9 (downward) and from 9 to 19 (upward), without 'assuming' values or nvling to 0 (then the line will drop all the way to 0 and bounce up). ( I want to include dates without Y axis data )
I have markers on points that have values (ex: 11,19,14,9 and 19), if the line just connects without data there will not be any markers and the user will understand there are no data for those dates. The continuous line will make it easy to understand the flow (without using a fit or a trend line).
I have pretty much exhausted all attribute settings from graph.dtd
Note: I have an access chart I am converting to Reports and access lets you do this and I have to maintain the same in Reports !
Thanks
