OBIEE 11g - change bar graph result to "rectangle" instead of "gradient"

Hi, I'm a big believe in Stephen Few's theory that anything that adds extra ink and/or causes visual distraction is poor design for presenting information. I've already figured out how to remove the shadow effect from all graphs (by setting visualEffects="NONE" in the dvt-graph-skin.xml).
I've noticed that simple bar graphs default to using a "gradient" fill (a.k.a. extra visual distraction), instead of just being a flat rectangle. I can change this on a graph by graph basis by setting the graph data style to "rectangle", but I have to do this every time. Is there a simple way to change the default to be "rectangle" instead of "gradient"?
Thanks!
Scott

Not yet, and I've been too busy with some SEV 1 issues to goof around with it. I also need to open a ticket about default pivot table formatting - i.e. removing the background colors under the non-data areas, and they also seem to have some sort of gradient fill at the bottom. I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Thx,
Scott

  • OBIEE 11g - Line-Bar Graph problem

    Hi,
    I am trying to build a Line-Bar graph where the line represents target. My data is as follows:
    Dim1 Dim2 Fact Target
    A Z 10 2
    A Y 5 2
    B X 6 3
    B W 7 3
    Please note that, the target is same across same Dim1. Like A has same target, B has same target.
    Now if I create a stack chart with stack based on Dim2 (Dim2 is in the Vary by Colour), then I get mutiple line for target with the same value for each Dim1.
    I am not sure if I could explain it clearly.
    I want to show one line for the target since its same for Dim1. How can I do that?
    Please help.
    My chart config is as follows:
    Group By (Dim1)
    Vary Coulor by (Dim2)
    Bars (Fact)
    Lines (Target)

  • OBIEE 11g - help formatting graphs / trellis displays

    Hi, in OBIEE 11g I'm trying to display a simple trellis graph of win % for various baseball teams over a 10 year period. On the trellis - I would like to NOT show the vertical scale or horizontal scale. I.e. vertical currently showing 20%, 40%, etc. up to 100%, and horizontal showing 2001, 2002, etc.
    Is there any way to turn off the scales on the various axis? I can turn off the "labels" so that it doesn't put the word "Year" under the horizontal axis, but I haven't been able to figure out how to actually turn off the year values.
    This pretty much holds even on a "normal" non-trellis graph - I can't see how to turn off the axis values there either.
    Thanks!

  • How to change the graph results selections in a query?

    Hi,
    i want to change the graphical representaions of a workbook which were based on the past year 2007
    now i want to have the results for the year 2008. how the year selections can be made for graphical results?
    Raj

    If your table and graph are using the same query as the dataprovider then selection made for the table will be reflected for graph as well.

  • OBIEE 11g: Hierarchy Drills & Graph Scales

    Hi eveyrone,
    I have a time-series graph with dates along the x-axis and my measure value along the y-axis.
    In the "Sections" portion of the graph I have a node based hierarchy.
    I have 4 columns in the report.
    Presentation hierarchy (node based hierarchy), Hierarchy Dimension column (regular FK link to the hierarchy dimension but not a presentation hierarchy), Date, SUM( Metric by hierarchy dimension column)
    In the graph, I create a line scale marker and set it to be based on my one measure column. I also graph my one measure column.
    In therory, since I'm graphing the EXACT same column that the scale marker is tied to, they should ALWAYS appear to overlay. And in fact they do at the first level of the hierarchy.
    But when I drill into the hierarchy, the measure column changes, but the scale marker does not.
    Why does this happen?
    It is the exact same column so they should always be the same value. It's a pretty frustrating bug because as you drill, the scale of the measure changes but the scale of marker does not, so it's basically like you're viewing a flat line because the y-axis is too far off from the actual column measure to see any trend.
    Has anyone seen this?

    Thanks for the response, in regards to whether it is 1 or 2 Logical Facts, it is still the same behaviour. IN regards to the Logical Dimension, yes it is set with two LTS with the applicable content levels set. I even tried that as just 1 LTS doing the join through the General tab. Still the same behaviour with the drill-down. I am assuming it will always go through the full drill path regardless of what level the Fact you are hitting is at.

  • Stacked bar graph requirement in OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I have stacked bar graph. I want to display units on the middle of each stack. I can display units, but by default these units are displayed on top of each stack. I checked properties of data markers, but I did not get any option to display data in the middle of stack.
    I am using OBIEE 11g.
    Is there any way to accomplish this?
    Thanks.

    We recently logged an Enhancement Request for the same with Oracle: Bug 15928667 : ENH DISPLAY DATA LABELS IN STACKED BAR CHART WITHIN THE BAR GRAPH ITSELF
    There is no way out-of-box to do this as of right now.

  • Obiee 11g graph how to increase bar width

    Hello,
    obiee 11g: -> bar graph: how to increase bar width ?
    Thank you,
    Ark

    Hi ,
    Create your own bar code type rather than using system Bar Codes , if the length of your code doesn't fit with the standards available under  SE73 . There you can define your own sizes as per your requirement , If you have a stands logic ,for example production order type Z001 should be in 15 lengthy code , then put a condition in the smart form to facilitate it , like wise you could use different lengthy bar codes in single form .
    I hope this is what you meant by your treat.
    Good Luck .
    Cheers ,

  • How to create static line in line bar graph in obiee 11g?

    Hello,
    I have requirement where user wants to see a line in bar graph.
    Now the line is just static line, we dont have data field available to draw the line in graph.
    is there a way to create a static line in chart and show it in Line bar ombo graph??
    Thanks in advance..

    e.g. i created the static line '10' in fx and now using this column as line in line bar report , but its not displaying the line at measure of '10' in chart.
    Drag the column to measures section of graph (Line - Vertical Axis) to change this static value create an edit box prompt and pass the value to the column using Presentation Variable (as said by Fernando)
    Thanks,

  • Sectioned graphs output to PDF/print issue OBIEE 11G

    I've created a series of graphs by placing the field that varies in the "Sections" area, so that each graph displays data for each unique item (in this case). When viewing in IE or Firefox, the graphs look perfect, each one accurately displaying the related data as they should. However, when I go to export or print the graphs to PDF or just print them, the sectioned identifiers change accordingly, but the graphs themselves are all the same.
    For example, if I create a simple analysis for items 12345, 12346, and 12347 and their annual sales, create the resulting graph, then drop the item# into the Sections, I properly get three graphs, with each identified accurately with each different item number, but each of the graphs themselves are exactly the same, always with the data from the first item of the group.
    Incidentally, the table/pivot tables (if using sections) do NOT reflect this behavior when exporting/printing. They display properly. It's only the graphs.
    Has anyone experienced this before? Is it a bug? We are on OBIEE 11g 11.1.3.0/ IE 8 / Firefox 13.0.1/ Adobe Reader X 10.1.3.
    Apologies if this has been covered before, but I could not find any related posts. Thank you in advance!

    Hi, and thank you for your response. Yes, I've tried approaching it from many different directions, including what you're suggesting. It makes no difference how simple the analyses/graphs are, it results with duplicated graphs.
    Could this be caused by something we may have wrong in the instanceconfig.xml or NQSConfig.INI?

  • OBIEE 11g Analysis : Change Report edit link to go Criteria tab instead

    How to change the setting to have the "Edit" to go to criteria tab instead of Results (Compond view)?
    Many time we may need to change the filter from default setting and then run the report or if the filter is setup to be used from a dashboard (using "Prompted") option...then the report attmpts to run the report without values...
    And I have not checked to see if the server cancels the query to the database when the user navigates to the Critetia Page as there is no cancel link...(as it displayed in 10g...)
    FYI, We have just started using OBIEE 11g in a dev environment, we are in the process of configuring the new env to get ready for prod...
    Thanks

    Hi,
    By default, the Action request is sent to results tab. You can modify it by editing the dashboardeditor.js file found in /app/res/b_mozilla/dashboards folder.
    Steps:
    1) Open dashboardeditor.js file.
    2) Search for the function "DUIModifyReport".
    3) Inside the function you will find that ***"&Action=results&Path="****
    4) Change results to criteria. In other words, the changed code will look like
    ****"&Action=criteria&Path="*****
    5) Re-deploy the code and bounce the services.
    -- Remember, this will affect for entire dashboard, and for all users. ---
    If you want to avoid step (5), then manually copy the changed dashboardeditor.js to /user_projects/domains/BIfoundation/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/$RANDOMFOLDERNAME$/war/res/b_mozilla/dashboards and bounce the services.
    Voila - now when you edit the analysis through dashboard, it will take you to the criteria tab, instead of results tab.
    Please award points, if it helps.

  • Default Colors Limit for Graph in OBIEE 11g

    Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.6)
    When I use a graph (either bar or pie), I notice that OBIEE only has 12 default colors to use in the graph. So it starts from blue, red, and so forth, until the 12th color, then for the 13th color it will use the same blue again, and so forth.
    The problem is that my column values are more than 12 (it could be 20, it could be 30, etc). So, the repeating colors doesn't make any sense for the graphs.
    Could somebody please advise me on how to increase the default number of default colors used by OBIEE (so that it will be like 50 default colors set automatically by OBIEE, just in case)?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    type HexaDecimal colors in google you will find n number of colors with the code number, just use this color codes by adding# before every code in the column format properties.
    for ex: #ccc99
