LV6i Graph line width

Why does the line width of a printed chart/graph vary from the on screen width?
Thanks
CM

The line width on a printed chart appears to vary from the screen line width due to the difference in the resolution of a printed page versus the monitor. The reason why it does this is that the screen is approx. 72 dpi. When you make a line that is five pixels wide, it looks like a swath of color. The printer is (typically) 600 dpi. When you make a line that is five pixels wide, it is still five times as wide as the other plot, but it doesn't look like the screen. We prefer to print plot data as finely as possible with the printer resolution so that we are portraying the data as accurately as we can.

  • Line Width in Graph Report

    Hi
    I am using Reports 9i to build a Simple "Line" Graph. But I am not able to adjust the Plot Line width if the report is printing more than 3 rows. For the first three lines I am able to change the line width using the Options in the PLOT AREA tab. Can anyone let me know how I can adjust the linewidth for all the lines that are plotting in my graph. Please note that the number of lines that are plotted will be dynamic and can vary
    Thanks in advance

    hello,
    you might want to take a look at our graph FAQ here on OTN. goto otn.oracle.com/products/reports and click on Graph FAQ. there you will find answers to several similar issues. bottom line is, that you most likely will have to define this in the XML definition of the graph, rather than in the wizard.

  • Changine line widths in multi page reports?

    I need to be able to change line widths on a "per channel basis" within a multi page report. Is there a script that I can use to do this?

    Hey Zilla,
    I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do but I've written a short example that hopefully does something similar. It may not be the most efficient example but it should get you started. I assumed that by line width you're referring to the width of a plot on a graph in DIAdem Report. The following code changes the width of three plots on two graphs each on different sheets. The code is pasted below. I'm attaching the report template I used. It uses the default DIAdem dataset. If you have a different report the object names may be different. (The report template was created in DIAdem 9.1)
    Call GraphSheetNGet(2)
    Call GraphSheetRefSet(GraphSheetName)
    Call GRAPHObjOpen("2DAxis1")
    for i=1 to 3
    Call GRAPHObjOpen("2DObj1_Curve" + s
    tr(i))
    D2CURVELINEWIDTH ="35.0"
    Call GRAPHObjClose("2DObj1_Curve" + str(i))
    next
    Call GRAPHObjClose("2DAxis1")
    Call GraphSheetNGet(1)
    Call GraphSheetRefSet(GraphSheetName)
    Call GRAPHObjOpen("2DAxis1")
    for i=1 to 3
    Call GRAPHObjOpen("2DObj2_Curve" + str(i))
    D2CURVELINEWIDTH ="35.0"
    Call GRAPHObjClose("2DObj2_Curve" + str(i))
    next
    Call GRAPHObjClose("2DAxis1")
    Call Picupdate
    I hope this helps!! If this isn't what you're trying to do please post back with more information so I can try to help.

  • Graph line texturing

    Applying a texture or gradient to a line series in the BI Beans graph (from JClient) using the SFX component only results in a white line. The same code gives the right result for bar series.
    Is this supported?
    We're trying to get dot patterns on the lines to help color blind users.

    Danny,
    as far as i know its not possible to have them dotted. However, beside of different line width you could use markers with different symbols that should do it.
    m_graph.setGraphType(Graph.LINE_VERT_ABS);
    m_graph.setMarkerDisplayed();
    m_graph.setMarkerShapeInLegend();
    You can customize the marker symbol on the individual series.

    Hi,
    What ever text you are sending in the email, create a standard text for it using tcode SO10. In the program use the FM READ_TEXT to get the data into internal table which will be of length 132 char. If you want line widht of 255 chars convert using FM SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE as below,
    CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'
        EXPORTING
          line_width_dst              = '255'
        TABLES
          content_in                  =  it_data
          content_out                 = it_mess_att
        EXCEPTIONS
          err_line_width_src_too_long = 1
          err_line_width_dst_too_long = 2
          err_conv_failed             = 3
          OTHERS                      = 4.
    Use FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send email.

  • How can i dynamically vary the color of one graph line

    I was looking on the developer zone and noticed several people are looking for a way to change the color of one graph line. Simplest case I would like to know: a graph is running, then you press a button and from that point on the color of the graph changes, but doesnt change the old data line color. THis way the line will consist of different colors.
    The property node changes the whole line, and the line is always just one color. It should be possible to make the line consist of different color sections, anyone know how?

    The application is actually not as slow as it seemed, i had some settings set wrong (anti aliasing in plot, and some functions in advanced, when you right click on the graph)
    Especially unchecking the anti-aliasing makes it much faster
    Also, just plotting point and not a line, or alternatively, changing the interpolation makes it faster.
    Anyway, the attached files do not rely on processor so much anymore, see for yourself

  • How to change line width runtime?

    Hi,
    I want to change line width dynamically or runtime depending on certain conditions.
    I had written format trigger on line and used SRW.SET_BORDER_WIDTH but it does not work. so what is other possible solution for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    In your variable vertical elasticity frame put several fixed vertical elesticity objects (lines, frames, etc.) of different heights. In the runtime, suppress all the objects in their format triggers, but one with the height you need. The objects need to be made invisible by setting their color to white.

  • Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on .25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

    Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

    MR,
    Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
    The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.

  • Line width on framemaker table

    hi there... i've got an issue on generated the framemaker9 - pdf.
    First, After generated to pdf, the table line width looks like not consistent. There are some thin and thick.. how must i do to get the table look nice with the all line is thin...
    procedure that i use to build the table is ------> Custom ruling and shading - choose from table (apply ruling style)
    Second - what is the difference between click or not at convert CMYK to RGB at settings in PDF Setup ? What exactly the function of convert CMYK to RGB ?

    Sha,
    If you have two separate questions, please create two posts. (Converting CMYK to RGB is the default behaviour of all previous versions of FrameMaker on Windows. Switching off this conversion is supposed to pass through the CMYK data when saving as PDF. Whether you need this or whether it works completely as you need it, you have to test.)
    Regarding line widths: Have you printed the page?
    Assuming your line with is set to be 0.5pt. With 72pt/inch and 25.4mm/inch you get a theoretical line width of 0.1764mm.
    Your screen has a resolution of maybe 96ppi (pixel per inch) so each pixel has a width of 0.2645mm. You can see that with pixels so wide, you can not successfully show 0.1764mm in 100% zoom size. The software (e.g. Adobe Reader) tries its best, but sometimes fails. The human eye is very good at detecting patterns and recognizes even slight changes inside a pattern very easily.
    Your printer may have a resolution of 600dpi (dot per inch) so each dot is as tiny as 0.0423mm. This time the printer may use about 4 dots to create the 0.5pt line, with a 1200dpi printer it could be 8 dots.
    So in the end what you see is just a technological limitation. If the so-called "Retina" display makes its way into mass market with >300ppi resolution those effects will fade away...

  • Scatter plot line width

    First off, I'm using the trial version of iWork '09. So I want to eventually put a chart into keynote to present to my colleagues, however, putting the chart up on a projector requires me to have a thicker plot line. So if I use a scatter plot, my axis' turn out great, but I cannot adjust the line's width. I don't want symbols, I just want a line connecting the points. If I use the line chart instead of the scatter, the x-axis displays "Untitled 1, Untitled 2" as the labels. I can't change them to the corresponding numbers which is annoying. I can change everything else fine: axis line width, font size, etc. Its just eh connecting line I'm having trouble with

    Actually, found a roundabout way to do this. Have to use line chart and in the x-axis label, you have to insert your formula for what cells you want such as Table 1 :: B212:B912 and just set the category counter to only include one label every so many counts. Kind of a pain, but works. However, can't have only the few tickmarks (should be 5 labels and corresponding 5 tickmarks in my case, but I have 5 labels and 700 tickmarks), all are shown instead. It tacks all of the labels individually, but you can choose which ones are shown, but cannot remove tickmarks... Any ideas?

  • Why the text field frame's line width cannot be adjusted?

    I am now working on a PDF file with some text fields with combo turned on, specifying the number of chars the fields can hold. Their frames' line width is not thick. This is what I want. This is shown in the picture below:
    But when I try to preview the PDF, I discover that these fields do not follow what I have specified: no matter what thickness I choose, the frames are always thick. I want them to be thin!
    See below:
    Why is it so? What should I do? Any ideas are welcomed.

    I have sent my form to you to take a look. Thanks for your support!
    By the way, I have uninstalled Acrobat 8 and installed Acrobat 9 Pro, but I am facing serious problems. Whenever I open Acrobat I will face an EULA page and if I click "Accept" or "Decline", the whole program will close immediately.
    I have googled and added an EULA value (=1, in hex) in the regedit. No effect. I want to uninstall Acrobat 9, and there is NO RECORD in the Install/Uninstall section in the Control Panel. I am using Vista Home Basic.
    I am now frustrated. I tried Acrobat 9 and it failed, and now I can't even uninstall it and revert to ver 8.......My God....

  • Changing line width for more than 5 chart series - Interactive Mode

    Hi,
    Re: BI Publisher 11.1.1.6.0, Interactive Reports
    I have a number of charts with a dynamic number of series based on the number of devices, cpus, network interfaces etc. on a particular system. Is it possible to change the line width for all series? I can change it for the first 5 series as per "Chart Plot Area" properties "Series[1-5] Line Width", however any subsequent series retain the default width.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hello,
    Which version of APEX are you using?
    Go to your Flash Chart attributes - get into your series (click the icon) in the section of Series Query you'll find the maximum rows.

  • Iam using a table in numbers to plot daily graph lines. If I fill a cell with a text box  at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is tho

    I am using a table in Numbers to plot daily graph lines. Mood swings of how I am on the day, i"m a depressive.
    If I fill a cell with a step box at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is there a work around. so thatbgraph only plots on the day?

    The answer is (sort of) in your subject, but edited out of the problem statement in the body of your message.
    When you use a stepper or a slider, the value in the cell is always numeric, and is always placed on the chart if that cell is included in the range graphed by the chart.
    But if you use a pop-up menu cell, you can specify numeric or text values in the list of choices for in the menu. Numeric values will be shown on the chart. Text values will not.
    For the example, the values list for the pop-up menu was:
    5
    3
    1
    Choose
    -1
    -3
    -5
    The first pop-up was set to display Choose, then the cell was filled down the rest of the column. Any text value (including a single space, if you want the cell to appear blank) may be used instead of Choose.
    For charts with negative Y values, the X axis will not automatically appear at Y=0. If your value set will include negative values, I would suggest setting the Y axis maximum and minimum to the maximum and minimum values on your menu list, rather than letting Numbers decide what range to include on the chart. Place a line shape across the chart at the zero level, and choose to NOT show the X axis.

    Barry
