Problem with Pie chart and Hierarchy

I have to display a Pie chart according to a hierarchy.
The top node claims half of the chart.
<u>A hierarchy for example</u>:
Division A            450
   Department A1 100
   Department A2 150
   Department A3 200
The Pie chart is divided to 4 parts (instead of 3), where Division A takes 50%.
I dont want Division A to be seen in the chart.
The best solution would be if WAD could ignore the first category.
Thanks and best regards,
Sigal.

In WAD, mark the SUPPRESS_OPENHIERARCHIENODES parameter of the Pie Data Provider.

Problems with pie chart formatting - APEX v2

Hi - I have created a region with an SVG Pie Chart and set the CSS to display the three segments as red, yellow and green using one of the examples from a previous forum posting. That all works fine, but I still have two issues with the chart:-
- the legend is displaying too big and is overlapping the right hand region border which looks messy. Is there anyway to force the size of the legend as there is lots of blank space to the right of the labels/values?. If not, is there any way to get the legend to display at the bottom of the area rather than to the side of the chart?
- the pie chart is 3D but the colours are only displaying on the side, not the top. Is there something I need to set to get this to work OK? Current CSS included below.
Thanks Caroline

Problem with Pie Chart

Hi Experts!!
I've a little problem with a Pie Chart, I want to present a Pie Chart with 3 values which are defined on the Data Series, when I deploy I get the message: "Expected exactly 1 data series in XXXXX chart.

Problem with Pie Chart Size

I am using the CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE to show pie charts in a dashboard format. One of my charts has just started to randomly decide to display the pie slices incorrectly.

</Chartdata>
The problem is, the last point on the pie chart is showing like it is about 85% of the pie. I admit, this is my first attempt at this, but why would it be OK, then suddenly NOT OK. Any ideas on what i may have coded incorrectly? what does the type indicator in the Value tag represent? i have looked at the documentation available for the chart engine, and it is pretty weak on specifics.
by the way, the label on the very large part of the pie is $973.08, which is considerably less than the values in the other "slices". The data is correct, as far as having the correct values. it is just suddenly displaying it incorrectly, putting the wrong size slice with the categories.
Edited by: David Knittle on Nov 22, 2010 1:32 PM

could it be because the chart is interpreting the values as text values instead of numbers? and 9 would then be much larger than ther other values? I'd try values without comma....tell it it's a numeric value like 12345.67.

Problem with bar chart and conditionals

Hi Experts!
I have a problem doing a chart
My chart is horizontal barchart...and Axis Y there is some accounts of a dimension...
There is two kind of accounts...when value is > 0 then green and < 0 then red and other kind is > 0 red and < 0 green... so each bar is an account but depends of each account it will be green or red. In tables I can do it with conditional format depends of other column...but I can't do it with a chart.
Is possible to do this?
Thanks!!!
I add a picture with my problem: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/849/barchart.jpg/

Hi,
In 11g in graph properties in the second tab(STYLE)-->Graph Data ..Style and Conditional Formatting-->Conditional Formatting .
You can see all the columns used.
You can select the column and specify the filter condition and select the color for the graph.
You can select for which column you need to have the conditional formatting.

Regarding Pages charts, when I try to 'build' a 3D chart all I get is little dots but not graphics. No problems with 2D charts though. Guess my question is "Help?"

Regarding Pages charts, when I try to 'build' a 3D chart all I get is little dots but not graphics. No problems with 2D charts though. Guess my question is "Help?"

Sorry for the delay getting back to this.
Thanks to Fruhulda and Peter for their comments regarding the refusal of Pages to let me make 3D charts.
In answer to the questions put to me in this regard :
1. Pages version : Pages '09 v.4.1 (923)
2. Mac O/S :          v.10.6.8
3. 3D chart :          Can't find a 'name', but upright bars with rounded corners ???
4. Moved apps :    Not that I'm aware of! All should be as installed off the disc.
5. A note :              I have been able to create these in the past - related to a SW update?
                      and ... can create these charts perfectly in Keynote (go figure).
Thanks to all.

Problem with displaying chart data

Hello everybody,
I have problem with displaying chart data correctly. I'm using a cartesian chart with DateTimeAxis. The stockdata I'm using is for half a year and
with ticks for every day. The problem is, that Flex displays the data of february in march together with the data of march. I have added a picture
to show the result. The second column of the grid is for february and the third for march.
Could anybody help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,
thanks for your reply. Here you get the source code:
The following method creates the LineChart:
        public function init():void
            model.upperChart = this;
            model.upperChartStyle.setChartViewStyle(this);
            this.hAxis = new MyDateTimeAxis();
            model.upperChartData.configureHAxis(this.hAxis);
            this.vAxis = new LinearAxis();
            model.upperChartData.configureVAxis(this.vAxis);
            this.vAxisTitle = new Label();
            this.vAxisTitle.text = model.upperChartData.getVAxisTitle();
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisTitleLabelStyle(this.vAxisTitle);
            this.vAxisTitle.x = 10
            this.vAxisTitle.y = 0;
            this.addChild(this.vAxisTitle);
            this.myChart = new CartesianChart();
            //remove default datatip
            this.myChart.showDataTips = false;
            this.myChart.x = 10;
            this.myChart.y = 0;
            this.myChart.width = 768;
            this.myChart.height = 196;
            model.upperChartStyle.setChartStyle(this.myChart);
            this.addChild(this.myChart);
            //Remove line shadow
            this.myChart.seriesFilters = null;
            this.myChart.horizontalAxis = this.hAxis;
            this.myChart.verticalAxis = this.vAxis;
            this.hAxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer();
            model.upperChartData.configureHAxisRenderer(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.hAxisRenderer.axis = this.hAxis;
            model.upperChartStyle.setHAxisRendererStyle(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.myChart.horizontalAxisRenderers.push(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.vAxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer();
            model.upperChartData.configureVAxisRenderer(this.vAxisRenderer);
            this.vAxisRenderer.axis = this.vAxis;
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisRendererStyle(this.vAxisRenderer);
            this.myChart.verticalAxisRenderers.push(this.vAxisRenderer);
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisDataLabelStyle(this.vAxisMinLabel);
            this.addChild(this.vAxisMinLabel);
            model.upperChartStyle.setSeriesStyle(model.upperChartData.series, model.upperChartData.shares);
            this.myChart.dataProvider = model.upperChartData.dataProvider;
            this.myChart.series = model.upperChartData.series;
The data for dataprovider and series you can see in attached file dataprovider.xml.
xfield is equivalent to timestamp
yfield is equivalent to absolute
I think the problem could be the configuration of the datetimeaxis. The following method shows the parameter for the datetimeaxis:
        public function configureHAxis(axis:MyDateTimeAxis):void
            axis.parseFunction = UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date;
            axis.dataUnits = "days";
            axis.dataInterval = 1;
            axis.title = "";
            axis.minimum = new Date(UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date("2009-01-07 00:00:00").time);
            axis.maximum = new Date(UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date("2009-07-06 00:00:00").time);
And finally you get the function, that I'm using for string to date conversion:
        public static function parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date(input:String):Date
            var result:Date = new Date();
            var year:Number = Number(input.substring(0,4));
            var month:Number = Number(input.substring(5,7));
            var date:Number = Number(input.substring(8,10));
            var hours:Number = Number(input.substring(11,13));
            var minutes:Number = Number(input.substring(14,16));
            var seconds:Number = Number(input.substring(17,19));
            result.setUTCFullYear(year);
            result.setUTCMonth(month-1);
            result.setUTCDate(date);
            result.setUTCHours(hours);
            result.setUTCMinutes(minutes);
            result.setUTCSeconds(seconds);
            return result;
I hope that will help to locate the reason for the wrong chart visualization.
Thanks for any help.

I have a problem with a chart refreshing after its bound data provider changes.

I have a problem with a chart refreshing after its bound data
provider changes. After the subsetHighLowData.refresh() is called I
would expect the chart to redraw, but it still looks the same. I
even inspected the debugger to see if the slice had taken place and
it had.
Any ideas coding friends?

Just use the ArrayCollection's removeItemAt, and it should
handle the event
dispatching for you.

Problem with waveform chart: time scale does not show time correctly

Hello,
I have some problems with a chart.
I want to display some data and the time between two single data can vary. It is something between 50ms and 500 ms.
The problems I have:
1. The time is not shown correctly in the chart (allways 2:00:10 instead of the current time)
2. the data points in the chart have a distance of 1 s (x-scale). That is not correct.
I have tried several things but I thinkt I am on the wrong track.
Could you please help me?

I have modifierd the vi again.
Now it looks much better.
I have a data array and the last 10 seconds of the data are displayed.
The array size is maximum 150 and that is more than I need to display. If new data is inserted, the oldest gets deleted.
I wonder if this style is efficient?
The time is stil not displayed correctly in the graph. Why does it always show 2:00:00 ?

Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
easily? Would
be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
use of
them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
look at it more closely.
Thanks in advance.

Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
"they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

Problems with dropped calls and no reception on Samsung Continuum

My mother and I both purchased a Samsung Continuum in late March 2011, and have experienced the same problems with the phone. The device drops at least 2-3 calls per day, often on the same conversation; we have not found that location or time of day makes a difference. The phone freezes up frequently, even if no apps are running in the background. We lose our 3G network reception frequently, and cannot access our texts, emails, or the internet. The screen saver kicks in even when we are actively dialing a number, or typing in a text message. The overall performance of the phone is also poor, and it is quite slow much of the time.
We have raised this issue several times with a representative at one of the Verizon stores, but he states that he can find no problem with the phone, and that these issues may not be covered under our insurance plan. None of my friends with non-Samsung phones are having the same problems with phone reception and performance. I am aggravated enough with these issues that I am considering reactivating my old Blackberry, which worked like a charm.
I am not upset that my phone has not been updated to Android 2.2. I just want the phone to perform as stated, and not fail at its primary function: making and receiving phone calls. I am not certain if these problems originate with the phone, Verizon, or Samsung, nor do I care. I just want to resolve these issues as soon as possible, or I will have to look at other alternatives.
Thank you.

If this doesn't work...now what??? I have a useless $400 plus piece of unreliable junk. My Motorola Razor was ions more reliable than this phone...very, very sad but true.
What carrier were you using with the Razor? AT&T? Same area?

Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

Hi all,
after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
Regards
Michael

First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.
