Logical intervals on the x-axis

Ok, this is what I'm trying to do:
I'm trying to make a graph that shows dissolved oxygen content at different distances from the source of a river. the 'y' axis is working well, going up in a logical, 2 ppm intervals. But the x-axis - the one I'm using for distance from source, is labeled at the distances I've keyed in, rather than going up in say 500m intervals. How to I get it so that the x-axis goes up in 500m intervals and shows the readings from my 7 sites (which are at odd intervals) along that logical axis?
Confused question maybe, but can anyone help???
Thanks!!

Hi Thomas,
From your description, I'd say that you are using one of the Category Charts. These charts plot a numeric value against a text description. If you think you have numeric values on the X-axis, Numbers is still treating them as text descriptors. To get interpolation on the X-axis, use the Scatter Chart option. With Numbers '08, this will limit you to symbols, with no connecting lines. In Numbers '09 this limitation has been addressed and Scatter Charts can have lines connecting the data points.

  • Non uniform intervals in the X-axis of LineChart

    Hi,
    I am using a Flex3 Line chart which takes data from an External XML file.
    But I dont get the DataTip points correctly if i give some numeric values in the X values and
    even then, the values in the X-axis starts from the "0"th position and the interval between the "0"th & 1st value (in X axis) is half of the others (shown in red bar in the attached image) and also for the last one.
    How to have the uniform intervals in the X-axis so that the DataTip shows correct values as in the data?

    Please do not post VIs with infinite loops (at least without informing us that they work that way)! The loop should have a stop button on the front panel wired to the stop terminal in the loop. If you use the Abort button to stop the VI, the file never gets closed.
    A long time Forum participant has said that: "Using the Abort button to stop a VI is like using a tree to stop a car. It works but may have unintended consequences!"
    To get the format you want after reading you need to convert the first column in the spreadsheet file from a date-time string to a numeric which can be interpretted by the graph as a timestamp. With the format you have chosen for the file it is somewhat complicated. Spend some time reading the detailed help for the timestamp and string format functions.
    In the VI attached the file is read as string. The first column is separated into 7 numerical values to create a date-time record (cluster) which is then converted to a timestamp and then to DBL. The second column is converted to an array of DBL. The arrays are bundled and connected to an XY graph. The graph X-Axis is formatted as Absolute Time, AM/PM, HH:MMS. You can add the fractional seconds if you want but the scale starts to get crowded.
    Also, the error out wires from the property nodes used to initialize the graphs should be wired to the loop to assure that they execute first.

  • Scaling of the x-axis on LineCharts

    Hello everyone,
    I'm working on using a LineChart to display incoming temperature readings from an embedded device and so far it's working very nicely, but I'm hoping someone can help me with one small problem I'm having.
    I build an ArrayCollection of the temperature readings, including a timestamp of when the reading was received using a Date object, which is then used as the dataProvider for my LineChart.  The vertical axis is plotted correctly, but readings are plotted evenly-spaced on the horizontal axis even though readings are not made at regular time intervals.
    For example, if I received a reading at 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 35 minutes, the three temperatures would be evenly spaced on the horizontal axis.  I want the horizontal axis to accurately represent the time frame of the readings received, so that with the previous readings there would be two points very close to the left hand of the horizontal axis and a single point plotted much further away.
    I seem to be having trouble explaning this clearly so here is a quick sketch I made of the situation:
    Thank you so much in advance for your help!
    Sincerely,

  • How can I make the X axis temporally proportional?

    I have a very simple line chart with decimal values on the Y axis and dates on the X axis. The dates are one per row in my source spreadsheet but they are not "evenly spaced". How can I make the chart reflect linear time, plotting the date categories irregulary along a smooth timeline?

    Look forward to the real experts' comments on chart overlays.
    As for date-format for X-axis it took some fiddling for me (sometimes it was greyed out) but it does work.
    Either leave it as Same as Source Data or pick Date and Time and choose one of the many formats available, some shorter than the source data format.
    I haven't figured out how to make specific dates show up on the axis, e.g. in my example it would be nicer to show mid-month and/or month-end dates. Numbers seems to split into intervals based on the number of Steps, with little (no?) control over where intervals begin/end.

  • Problem with the Z axis...blurred objects...what'd I miss?

    Howdy,
    I've got some vector objects in Flash that start out real small--like 20-30 pixels square. When I change their position on the Z axis to 'zoom in' on them, the larger they get, the blurrier they get.
    When I just tween the x/y size, and not move the z axis they look fine.
    For example draw a 20x20 square on the stage.
    Convert it to a movie clip so that I can 3D it.
    Scale it up to 300 pixels.
    Looks fine.
    Adjust the Z axis by 1.
    Blllluuuurrrrrrrrr.
    Did I miss a setting somewhere or is this just a limitation that needs to be worked around?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Ted

    Rothrock, Excellent link, thanks for that! Have some points.
    After reading it:
    crap.
    Looks like I need to learn about hand coding the 3d effects, or using scaling instead and adding switch when I need the z....
    Hmmm...that'll require a little mor coffee.

  • Report issue , logical name of the system has been changed

    Hi
    Recently our system has been upgraded to ECC5.0. In a particular report  while drilling down we get  error. The error says the original doc can not be shown as it belongs to logical system ( DRH-123) . Now we know that this logical name of the system was in old box . The new logical name is DRH-100 . We are saying it's a basis issue and the basis team is saying it's FICO issue.Has any body encountered this type of problem. ? In my report  i have never mentioned logical name of the system.Hence unable to understand it. But so far what I have understood , that the each box  has been partioned and given a system name which is called logical name.Now that logical name they have changed in new box.My initial response was change the logical name but basis says that is a big task and more over it has been a while when they changed it.
    Gurus, Kindly shed some light on this mess.
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I change the Y axis to show my values in a descending order in Numbers. eg zero at the top and the maximum value at bottom?

    Hi,
    I'm just about getting to grips with Numbers, but I'm stumped at the moment with this problem.
    I want to show zero at the top on the (y) axis, as zero is the goal and 100 is the starting point?
    can it be done? i would really appreicate some help on this.
    Kind regards
    Rob

    Is it so difficult to read given answers ?
    Barry described the correct scheme.
    In the table "to_chart", the cell A1 contains :
    =ROUNDUP(ABS(MIN(Tableau 1 :: B:E))/10,0)*10
    The cell B2 embed the formula :
    =$A$1+Tableau 1 :: B2
    Apply fill down and fill to the right.
    On the left edge, the colored rectangle is a text block in which I inserted the label values.
    Of course if you dislike this scheme, you are perfectly free to use an other application.

  • I want the minimum of the horizontal axis to be the first day of the month.

    I have a situation where I want the minimum of the horizontal
    axis(with date time axis) to be the first day of the month. I
    attempt it like so:
    var max:Date = new Date();//current date is our max from
    which we will calculate the min
    var min:Date = new Date(max.fullYear,max.month,1);
    dateTimeAxis.minimum = min;
    However this first date on this axis is the last day of the
    previous month for example 31 August instead of 1 September. Any
    ideas how to fix?

    Nikos, the only thing I can think of (off hand) is that it's
    defaulting to "zero" hour on that date, if you tried:
    var min:Date = new Date(max.fullYear,max.month,1,13);
    Would that make it work? That would set the date to 1pm.
    Have you considered defining the axis with the data you are
    binding to?
    Cheers,
    David

  • Motion Tween w/ Rotation Dropping on the Y Axis

    Is there a way to prevent a motion tween w/ rotation from dropping on the Y axis? Basically I used Free Transform to change the angle of a line, but it always lowers itself on the Y axis when I insert a motion tween in it.

    Hey there,
    The properties shouldn't be changing when you insert a motion tween. Could you either attach a file with the object *before* you create the tween, or let me know all the properties of the object before you insert the tween so I can try and reproduce internaly?  (X, Y, rotation, scale X/Y, skew X/Y).
    Thanks!

  • How can I use a timestring saved from LV as a csv spreadshee​t file as the x axis of a LV chart?

    I'm saving the timestring portion of a timestamp as HH:MMS  along with each set of data fields to a cvs spreadsheet file, i.e. each row of the file starts with the timestring followed by data in each remaining column. The first row contains data field headings. I can read this file back into LV with no problem and can remove the header row but cannot find a way to use that timestring as the x axis of a chart graph. I have no problem graphing the data in that format within Excel itself. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    DennisR

    Check the timestamp indicator, it is trying to write your time-stamp to your time-zone, so you will need to change the time-stamp to universal time. For the time-stamp indicator it is easy enough you just need to edit the indicator to display universal time, however for a purely data sense it is a bit odd, I have never found a straight forward way to do it so I use the conversion between Time in Seconds and Date/Time to do it for me.

  • Crystal Reports - Charts - Restricting the data points on the X-axis

    Hi,
    Is there a way to restrict the number of points to display on the x-axis of a crystal chart keeping the number of data points the same.
    For example, if the chart plots date vs value points and the data for the chart is from 1980 to 2009. This means the data points on the x-axis appear very close to each other.
    I need a way to show the chart with all data from 1980 to 2009 but limited x-axis labels. Is there a way to configure the number of labels to show on the x-axis.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the answer.
    "Right click on one of the x axis labels and select Group (X) Axis Options...
    On the Layout tab there is an option to Skip Group Labels, check this and enter in the number of labels you want to skip". Is there a way to do this from a .NET client or via a formula field in Crystal itself. The data points is going to be dynamic, hence the requirement is to dynamically configure the "number of labels" to be skipped.
    Thanks.

  • Creating a logical link in the Workarea

    Hi All,
      I would like to create a logical link in the workarea of the workcenter.
      For Ex: If i have assigned a business role SERVICEPRO, When I click on the workcenter (ServiceOrders), now a workarea will open with options SEARCH, CREATE, ALERTS, REPORTS etc..
      I would like to add an extra link in any one of these.. (lets say in CREATE... I have to add a link to create my own ztransaction type. when I click on this link, it has to open my ztransaction without a popup there to be selected)
    I know that if we have multiple transaction types a popup is necessary to select the requried transaction type. For this particular business transaction we are using a single transaction type.
      Can someone guide how to achieve this.
    Regards,
    Raghu

    Raghu,
    For the Business Role that you are using you can restrict the transaction types for create, display, search or edit to a single transaction type through the PFCG Authorization role assigned to the Business Role.
    Modify the PFCG Authorization Role to only include the transaction type that you need. Also, note the User has to be assigned to this PFCG role that controls the Business Role and should not have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorizations (in which case the user will see all the Transaction Types).

  • Will deleting a column at logical schema delete the same at physical level by DDL Sync?

    Will deleting a column at logical schema delete the same at physical level by DDL Sync?

    Hi David,
    First of all thanks for your quick response and for your help logging the enhancement request,
    I am testing more or less your suggestion but I  am not sure if I understood exactly what you mean,
    1)I imported from data dictionary in a new model and into the options menu on the schema select screen I un-ckecked partitions and triggers,
    I guessed that the import should not get from the data dictionary the information about the partitions but the result is that the tables partitioned (by list in this case) are partitioned by range without fields into the physical model on SDDM,
    2)I select one of the tables modify a NO partitioned option and propagate the option for the rest of the tables
    3) I imported again from data dictionary but this time I included the partitions into the option menu on select schema screen,
    into tabular view on compare models screen I can select all the tables with different partitioned option, also I can change for "list partitions" and select only the partitions that I want to import.
    So I have a solution for my problem, thanks a lot for your suggestion
    The second step I'm not sure is needed or maybe I can avoid the step with some configuration setting in any of the preferences screen,
    if not, I think the options to not include partitions into select schema screen are not so clear, at least for me,
    please, could you confirm me if a way to avoid the second step exists or if I misunderstood this option?
    thanks in advance

  • BubbleChart autoscale is not working right on the Y axis

    Hi everyone,
    When I'm trying to display some information on a Flex BubbleChart the bubbles are always displayed very low on the Y axis for some reason.
    The auto scale on the Y axis doesn't seem to work properly. It is providing extreamly high values on the Y axis. Do any of you encountered this problem before?
    How do you fix this Y axis autoscale problem without hardcoding the maximum value in the mx:verticalAxis?
    Thank you in advance,
