Line charts: data point symbol resize?

I'm working with charts in Pages and would like to be able to have a greater variety of lines in my line chart. In addition to selecting the data point symbol (square, circle, etc), I wish I could resize that symbol. I know I can resize the line width from the Graphic tab of the Inspector.
Is there a way to shrink the data point symbol from the Inspector? From anywhere?

If I understand your question, this from the Pages online help may give the answer:
To mark line, area, and scatter charts with data point symbols:
Select the entire chart. You can also select the chart series (the line or area shape) that you want to mark with data point symbols.
Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Chart Inspector button.
Click Series (except for scatter charts).
Choose a symbol from the Data Point Symbol pop-up menu.
Choose one of the following options from the Symbol Fill pop-up menu:
To fill the symbol with the same color as its outline, choose Use Stroke Color.
To fill the symbol with a solid color, choose Color Fill, click the Fill color well, and pick a color.
To fill the symbol with a gradient, choose Gradient Fill and use the gradient controls to set the colors and change the angle of the gradient.
To fill the symbol with an image, choose Image Fill and select the image you want. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.
To fill the symbol with a tinted image, choose Tinted Image Fill and select the image you want. Click the color well to the right of the Choose button to change the tint color. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.

    Hi Krishna,
    When you define a chart, you define a number of series, but when you run the WAD, it takes the number of series it has the query.

  • Data Point Symbol in Line Graph  - can you change the size?

    I would like to change the Data Point Symbols in line graphs - if not the actual symbol it would be wonderful to be able to change the size of the symbols provided.
    At present, if there is a lot of data in the graph, the symbols are too big and crowd one another.
    I know that one can reduce the line size but that doesn't change the symbol size.
    Help please.

  • Transparency fill in line graph data points does not copy over to Pages

    I have created some line graphs in Numbers, and they look beautiful. Since some of my data overlap and I want users to be able to easily see where all data is on the graph, I have made the data points transparent on the foremost line. This allows the other line (which data points are filled in with another color) visible "through" the foremost line.
    However, when I attempt to copy the graphs into Pages, the data points of the foremost line are no longer transparent - they are filled with white. Obviously, this defeats the entire purpose of using a transparency fill!
    What can I do to make this work?
    Thank you,
    G. Pasarescu

    Hi Yvan,
    Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, I need to embed several of these charts into the Pages document, and cannot use Numbers instead of Pages for the document.
    Interestingly, if I copy the chart from Numbers and paste it into some graphics programs (like Pixen and Pixelator), the transparency is preserved. However, pasting the same copy into other graphics programs (such as Seashore or Photoshop) somehow flattens the image, removing the transparency, and I'm back to square one.
    Using a graphics program as the bridge between Numbers and Pages reduces the quality of the chart - that's why I'd like to try to make this work in Numbers / Pages.
    Thanks,
    Geoff

    It seems you may be trying to make a timeline.  There are timeline tools out there that may be better for your particular task than Numbers.

  • How to convert from line chart data to CSV format

    Hi ,
    I am using Flex 3 and AS.
    I am getting data from MS SQL and display the data as line
    chart this is ok.
    But i want to convert this line chart data to CSV or .xsl
    format.I find one example in fourms the from data grid to CSV
    For this URL is
    http://www.abdulqabiz.com/blog/archives/flash_and_actionscript/datagriddataexporter.php
    But i want Line chart to CSV.Please help me.

    Line chart is a just a visual representation of some data
    that's sitting in your database. Isn't it? You load this in Flex,
    probably using HTTPService class, and pass it to some chart object.
    Now when use says that she needs it in CSV format, you're
    gonna have to send another request to the server to produce the
    same data, convert into CSV or XLS format and let user download it.
    Of course, if use doesn't want to download, you don't have to
    go to the server, at least for CSV format. You can convert the same
    data that used plot the chart to convert to CSV.
    Am I missing something here?

  • Discoverer Bar Chart Data Points

    Hi everyone,
    I am creating a Bar Chart in Discoverer with the data points to be displayed at the top. Does anyone know how to make the datapoints not display decimal places. I've tried to change the number format in the table and through administrator as well. The table does not display decimal places but the Bar Chart Data Points continue to do so. Any suggestions or thoughts to try would be welcomed. Thanks!

    If you edit the chart and choose X-Axis Scale I believe you can set the number of decimal place there. Should be able to set it to 0.

  • How to customize line chart series and symbols?

    Hello Forum,
    who can help me to customize line chart series and symbols color?
    I need to customize this in dynamic way.
    Thanks in advanced.

    See example 8-10 (Example 8-10 Changing Chart Symbol Color) from http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/charts/css-styles.htm#CIHGIAGE (reproduced here).
    The linked tutorial document contains a picture of how this example renders.
    .chart-series-line {   
        -fx-stroke-width: 2px;
        -fx-effect: null;
    .default-color0.chart-series-line { -fx-stroke: #e9967a; }
    .default-color1.chart-series-line { -fx-stroke: #f0e68c; }
    .default-color2.chart-series-line { -fx-stroke: #dda0dd; }
    .default-color0.chart-line-symbol { -fx-background-color: #e9967a, white; }
    .default-color1.chart-line-symbol { -fx-background-color: #f0e68c, white; }
    .default-color2.chart-line-symbol { -fx-background-color: #dda0dd, white; }Note the two comma separated colors listed for each -fx-background-color for the chart-line-symbol.
    The first color is the color or the outside of the symbol, the second is the inside of the symbol.
    In the sample css you provided you only supply a single background color for the chart-line-symbol, when two colors are required.

    Hello,
    Use Custom XML in the Chart attributes and replace the line_chart section with:
          <line_chart left_space="5" right_space="5">
            <block_names enabled="no" />
            <dots type='circle' radius='2' />
            <lines size='1' auto_color='yes' tone='0xFFC700' color='0xC1C1C1' />
          </line_chart>I've put the example here also: http://examples.apex-evangelists.com/pls/apex/f?p=286:34:0

  • How to quickly select data point symbol?

    hi, take line chart for example. sometimes there are a lot of series data in one chart and it often happens that one series partly covers another. In such case it is not easy to click the symbol which I want to modify color.
    Is there any keyboard shortcut to achieve this or does anyone know any tips?
    thank you.

    Setting the Numbers View zoom to 400% can help to separate the lines and points. Beware that at that high zoom level, it may still take some patience to select the correct series, but it's easier than if they are all on top of one another. Another way is to temporarily modify one of the datapoints in the series you wish to select so that it stands away from the rest. After you have made the change, you can restore the correct data.

  • Line Chart - date format

    Hi,
    i have some troubles with a "normal" line-chart. (graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS")
    The data is something like that:
    xvalue           yvalue
    01.01.2006     100
    02.01.2006     101
    03.01.2006     102
    04.01.2006     101
    01.02.2006     102
    02.02.2006     102
    03.02.2006     101
    01.03.2006     100
    02.03.2006     99
    03.03.2006     101
    I define the chart with:
    groups="xvalue" dataValues="yvalue"
    worked fine, BUT:
    I had to change the date-format from dd.mm.yyyy to "only" mm/yy.
    Now just 1 yvalue of every xvalue-group is displayed - the chart has only the following points:
    xvalue          yvalue
    01/06          100
    02/06          102
    03/06          100
    Does anybody know a solution where every point is shown just with the other date-format?

    Change your default system date format.

  • CR in VS2005: Line Chart Date Axis

    I believe this is posted in correct place:
    I have line chart that is displaying daily data.  I want to display a month worth of data with each day's data point plotted. 
    The X axis is a system.datetime of the day for the data (actually group label); I have formatted this to mm/dd/yyyy in the format editor. My graph X axis labels are overwritting each other and I can not see how to 'scale' x axis labels to prevent this.
    In reviewing similar existing posts I see reference to options that do not appear to be available in Net VS2005 (recently updated CR and VS).
    Is this limitation of VS version of CR or am I doing something wrong ?
    Thank You, fd

    Thank You for your reply.  I belive that I may still be limited by version in visual studio 2005 (CR updated to 10.2.3600). 
    When I right click on any object in graph I am presented with list 'Format Object' (border of chart, keep object togeather, etc), 'Chart Expert' (very limited selections: show grid, title text, etc) and 'Chart Options' (again very limited selections: Template,General,Titles,Grid). In the grid section chart options there is indeed a "data axis", "numbers" formatting section that allows for formatting as date but not any alignment etc.
    I am not adverse to purchasing an added CR designer but would like to clearly understand advantages.  It is also of concern that this "date" x axis should be treated as an x-y plot rather than the dates being used simply as labels.

  • Xcelsius Dashboard: Right click on chart data point

    Hello friends.
    I am working on Xcelsius dashboard development and I have question regarding drill down or connectivity from particular point from a chart.
    I have a line chart with different data points and now i want to show some details for a particular point on chart. What are different approaches to connect it to system and show details. I heard we can right click at some data point and then connect to BW system through Webi and show details.
    Can anyone let me know about this? Any pointers will be surely appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Agasti.

    Hi Agasti,
    you can configure the dril down properties of your chart so that the selected value is written in a cell. Add then a URL button (Web Connectivity), assign an openDocument URL to it and set under the Behaviour tab the drill-down cell (ie. the cell where the drill down value is written to) to be the trigger.

  • 3D Line Graph.vi not displaying line connecting data points.

    I'm having trouble getting 3D Line Graph.vi to display the line connecting my data points.  I'm collecting latitude, longitude, and depth data from a binary file, loading this data into arrays with a while loop, and sending those arrays to 3D Line Graph.vi.  When I tried doing it with arrays created by random number generators, the line is displayed, but when I use it with my actual data, no lines are displayed.  I can only see where the data points are when rotating the 3D graph.  Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Karunya,
    Thanks for the info on the 3-D Curve VI.  I tried it and it works.  I think I was able to find the problem with 3D Line Graph.vi.  It has something to do with plotting very close points away from the origin and scaling the axes to view the line.  I have attached an example of where the vi breaks down.  In this example, you can see that part of the line is drawn, but when you rotate the graph, you can see that the line is not drawn through all of the points.  If you change the scale of the axes, then you eventually get the line to go through all of the points, but then the graph is not very "readable" at that point.  It's when you try to zoom in really close to the plotted points.
    Thanks!
