Really odd y axis and scatter graph HEEEEELLLLPPP

Ok so whenever I try to plot a graph of certain data, it always comes up with the same graph which is not the one I am trying to plot!!! There are also two 2s on the y axis this is reeeaaaallly anoying help would be much appretiated!
I would post a screen shot if i could

The multiple 2's are probably due to the format of the numbers on chart and the number of grid lines you have. The actual numbers are probably something like 1.5 and 2.25, which are both being rounded to 2 for display on the chart. If you format the axis so it displays more decimals, you'll see the difference between the two 2's.
Are you sure you are following the correct steps in making a chart? While the multiple 2's makes sense, the problem about it always creating the same chart does not.

Size marker and time axis scatter graph

1.Can we increase default size of marker in scatter graph?
2.Also, for the time axis can we format the date to be able to show (mm/dd/yyyy) for all the values on axis rather than just the first one ?

Hello,
I still didn't find a solution.
I can show the data in the bar graph or in line graph, but not in scatter graph. In the scatter graph, there could be set for x and y axis just number values.
But is it really not possible to create the graph with time x-axis and number(or string) y-axis?
Has our customer so special requirement? Or is there no answer because it's so easy?

Excel & ActiveX: Insert arbitrary columns from 2D array and create graph problems

Hi there,
I want to insert data from either a 1D or 2D array from LabView into Excel and create graphs.
I used the information from the following example:
http://www.ni.com/example/28934/en/
and was able to create a new Excel file (I'm using Excel 2010), writing data from an 1D array to a column in excel by creating a while loop and using the first element of the array to write it to a specific cell. I use the counter of the loop to write to the next cell when the loop starts over and always delete the first value, which I write to the cell, from the array until it is empty.
Now I also would like to write a 2D array - so the first column in Excel should be the first column from the array and so. Here I cannot use the loop counter directly as Excel only counts 1,2,... for the rows, but uses A,B,... to count columns. Also I do not know in advance how many columns my 2D array will contain, so creating a lookup table like (A means 1, B means 2,...) is not really an option (except there really is no other way). Is there a possibilty to convert numbers into letters or some way to 'explain' to the program that column 2 in the array means column B in Excel for example, or is there a way to insert new columns?
I figured out how to add new Worksheets and as I also need to create a certain number of Worksheets and I know that on standard 3 sheets are present when creating the file, I use the 'add' methode to create every new worksheets before worksheet 3 - I could use the same methode to create new columns in Excel, but so far I didn't find a methode to do so. Or is there a way to enter the whole 2D array at once?
Then I'd like to create a graph (in case of the 1D arrays a bar plot, when using 2D arrays a 3D plot) to view the data. I found this example:
http://www.ni.com/newsletter/51339/en/
-> as I do not have the toolkit I'd like to do it using ActiveX directly, so I tried to do things like shown under the headline 'DIY ActiveX/.NET'
I tried to load the snippet to a new Excel file but got the error message 'microsoft.office.interop.excel.dll not found' and hence the code is not working. That confuses me a little as I would guess when this dll is not present I cannot access Excel from LabView at all, though my understanding of what I'm really doing so far is quiet limited. ;-)
Also - as far as I understand from the snippet - when creating a new chart object I should be able the create methodes for it, however when I do a right click on the chart object of an ActiveX Worksheet symbol there are none listed.
To explain my problems better I added a snippet showing my two problems: The inner of the two while loops shows how I import a 1D array. In the outer loop I seperate the columns. I know that currently this is not working as all data end up in column A of the Excel sheet - so I would need to convert the number of the outer counter to A, B,... or find a different solution.
Moreover on the snippet I placed an ActiveX Worksheet Property with the Chart Object - as I can see the difference to the Chart Object in the example code from the last link above is the color. However I'm not sure what that means and how to change/ solve this.
And just to make sure - I know this way the VI does not run as the Chart Object is placed completely wrong - I just did it, so it is included in the snippet.
I'd be thankful for any suggestions,
Thanks!
Solved!

Hello everyone and thanks for the answers.
I only have the LabView Student Edition available here - is the toolkit included in it too. How can I check if it is installed/ available and in case it is installed - where can I find it?
Today I had time to take a look at the example
Create via ActiveX Labview a XY Scatter plot graph on an excel sheet
It almost does what I want in terms of creating a graph. The only problem I could not fix, is that in this example a sheet is created where only the graph is present. i'd like to add the graph to a previously created worksheet. Today I tried get this working but it seems I stilll don't really understand what I'm doing, I'll post a snippet of my code as soon as I can access the PC with LabView on it again.
I also took a look at the other example for inserting 2D attays - it seems to be what I need, I just had no time so far to test it, I'll post an update when I could test it.
Thanks for the help so far!

Help needed with Scatter Graphs

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein I need to plot a graph with X-Axis as the months of a year in text format(eg:Apr,May...) and Y-Axis as the sales data for the corresponding month for n no. of years . This data will be fetched from an RFC . As far as I know , I need to use a Time-Scatter Graph .Can anyone please guide me on how to go about this . Any help will be highly appreciated and suitably rewarded with points.

Dates not recognised in scatter graphs

I have some data consisting of date-value pairs which I want to graph on what I would call an x-y graph, but which some call a scatter graph.
So I want each date plotted along the x-axis with the value up the y-axis.
However, when I create a graph, Numbers doesn't recognise the dates as dates, so uses them as discrete categories, ie with each date equally spaced across the x-axis, even though the dates themselves aren't evenly spaced.
For example, if I had dates of 1-Jan-14, 3-Jan-14, 15-Jan-14, 6-Jun-14, Numbers would space them all evenly.
The cells containing the dates are properly formatted as dates. It's only the graph that doesn't seem to pick up on the data being date-based.
I read various other threads which say this was a problem with earlier versions of Numbers 3 but was fixed (in version 3.1 IIRC). I'm using 3.2, and it's not fixed for me!
I'm a UK-based user and therefore use international date formats (as opposed to US date format). Could this be part of the problem?
TIA
David

Hi David,
A Scatter Plot requires that X and Y are not in Header Columns. You can have a Header Row for the axis titles (but they don't appear as titles on the plot; not sure how to make that happen without manually entering the titles on each axis).
X values need not be evenly spaced. X axis label values will be linear and will not be categories. Nor will they line up with individual X values (which is how a Scatter Plot should behave).
Column B looks like it is a Header Column, but it isn't. That grey fill happens after clicking on Edit Data References (non-intuitive IMHO).

Ian.

Add a trend line to a scatter graph

for my physics work i had to plot a graph and i need to add a trendline to the graph. I have plotted the graph as a scatter chart but dont know how to add a line of best fit, please help

Search "linear regression' in Numbers Help.
The FORECAST() function can be used to calculate the end points for the trend line using the minimum and maximum X values in your data set for the x value argument.
For example, with your data pairs listed in B3:B12 (x values) and C3:C12 (y values), add these values and formulas:
D3: 0
E3: =FORECAST(D3, C3:C$12, B3:B12)
D4: =MAX(B3:B12)
E4: =FORECAST(D4, C3:C$12, B3:B12)
The data pair on row 3 mark the y axis intercept of the trend line.
The pair on line 4 mark the position of the trend line where its x value is equal to the maximum x value of the data set. As plotting this pair may obscure the data point at this x value, you may want to move the trend line point to the right. To do this, add an arbitrary amount to the value in D4. The size of the added amount will depend on the scale of your graph.
eg. D4: =MAX(B3:B12)+2
If your data set includes negative x values, replace the formula in D3 with the mirror of the one in D4:
D3: =MIN(B3:B12)-2
Again, the "-2" is an arbitrary value used to extend the trend line beyond the collected x values.
This will allow you to plot these two points onto your scatter graph as a second data set. I don't see a means of making Numbers connect the points, so you will have to add the line manually.

Barry

Why doesn't the scatter graph display properly??

Hi,
I've already posted a thread regarding scatter graph
but nobody (not even from Macromedia!) has been able to give me
an answer and I've been trying on my own since then, but to no
avail!
I refer to WhazzInAName said on Dec 31, 2004 at 9:51 AM on
Cfchart
Livedocs
I copied only the scatter graph part, pasted it in a CFM page
and run it. It displayed fine.
However, if I try to add more than 1 value for a particular
chartdata item, e..g.
<cfchartdata item="25" value="99.357">
<cfchartdata item="25" value="90">
<cfchartdata item="25" value="65">
The graph only displays the value 65, but not the other 2!
I tried plotting the same values in an Excel chart and there
was no problem at all. All points displayed correctly!!!
What's wrong with this cfchart?? Why isn't it displaying the
other 2 values???
Also, there is no possibility with the chart in Report
Builder to specify sortxaxis="yes" xaxistype="scale"
yaxistype="scale", or is it available somewhere?
Thanks and regards,

Hi Ted,
Thanks for replying.
Too bad CF Report Builder can't handle such issues.
Hope it's going to be
MUCH BETTER with CF8?
Thanks and regards,

Log scale of the axis and the best-fit line

I try to plot a graph and set the scale of the x-axis to log scale and then i try to plot a linear trendline (best fit line). but the linear trendline does now show on the graph. but if i set the axis scale to linear, then the trendline does show. i will need my graph in the log scale and also a linear best fit line. please help me out

Axis in Pie Graph

Hi,
Can we show the X-Axis and Y-Axis for a Pie-Graph??
I am able to display the Pie-Graph for a given combination through VO but in my display i am not able to see the X-Axis and Y-Axis lines.
only the graph is getting displayed without the lines.
I have tried by setting in property inspector the following properties to true.
"Data Axis Scale From Zero" and "Display Data Markers" both to true
But still i am not able to see the lines in my screen.
Can i get some help from anyone regarding this???
Thanks in advance

No, there is no provision of showing x and y axis in pie graph. I am still not able to understand how do you want to incorporate and map date on x,y axis along with a pie graph in between. All you can do is to plot a bar graph separately to show the data along x, y axis.

How to display no. of seconds in HH:MM:SS format on Y-Axis in Line Graph

Hi All,
I have two columns as No. of Seconds and Date.
I want to create a Line Graph with Date on Horizontal Axis (X - Axis) and, on Vertical Axis (Y - Axis) I want to represent the No. of Seconds as HH:MM:SS format.
For example, If the DB returns No. of Seconds as 93, I want to get it on Vertical Axis as 00:01:33 (00 hours, 01 Minute, 33 seconds), If it is 145 seconds , I want to get it as 00:02:25....etc.
Can anyone please help me on this ?

Srini VEERAVALLI I already used this code and I'm getting HH:MM:SS format in Table View, but my requirement is I need to represent the HH:MM:SS format on Vertical Axis in Graph View. In Graph View by default it's considering No. of Seconds only.....
Srini VEERAVALLI, is your full name is Srinivas Veeravalli ?

Really odd First Launch issues

Hello All,
I am having som really, really odd issues with my PowerMac G4...
Everytime I start-up from a cold boot (I turn it off during the night...) I return in the morning, and it can't see my network!
I usually just restart again, and everything is fine.... but last friday, I had to fight with it for close to an hour to get it back working.
No patches have been applied, no setting have been changed, it's on a APC UPS system.. it is just used as a workstation...(graphical work)
It is running 10.3.9... (and has been since it was available, this issue has been going on for about a month now)
Any clues to this slightly aggrivating problem?
I don't really want to get a new Desktop until a Commercial MacIntel machine is available.
Thanks!!!

Hi Gabriel!
Why turn it off? Leave it on all night since OS X runs maintenence on the computer during the night. This could be part of problem . I would also suggest booting up from the install disk and running disk utility from it and repairing permissions.
Also, is it possible your APC UPS system is getting turned off at night too? Perhaps the battery is going bad and just needs replacing?
Good Luck!

Charts: Gap between Vertical Axis and the chart area

Friends,
I have a really wierd issue and I am sure I am doing
something wrong.
I am trying to align 2 charts that are placed vertically. I
want to align the left vertical axis and the gridlines within them.
Aligning the left vertical axis is easy and done but aligning the
grids is becoming challenging and I have already spent a few hours
on this problem.
Here is a wrong chart image ...
Wrong
chart image
The line of the LineChart (in the top chart) is touching the
left and right edges where as the bottom chart bars do not touch
the left/right edges. Due to this the gridlines are not aligned.
I had managed to solve this problem but I am not sure what
part of the code solved the problem. Here is the right chart image:
Right
chart image
In this chart, the line of the linechart (in the top chart)
is not touching the left and right boundary hence the gridlines are
alignd with each other.
I wonder what property of the chart controls the series
touching the left/right vertical axis or boundary. Your help is
appreciated.
Thanks

here is some more information ...
I started changing some of the properties of the chart which
I mentioned is a RIGHT CHART and this is what I learnt ...
It was a CartesianChart hence it was creating the gap
between the left/right vertical axis and the actual chart area
(refer to the right chart image).
I changed it to a LineChart and it started behaving like the
chart in the WRONG CHART image.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Using scatter graph type in oracle 10g forms using bi beans

hi.. how i can use scatter graph type in oracle 10g using bi beans..
it seems scatter graph is supported in 10g but it doesnt work at all..
i used to use oracle graphics builder in oracle 6i forms,now i need to convert all my old graphs to 10g forms..the line,bar and pie it work very well but the scatter didnt work..
so please if anyone know how to use it please tell me.. and what versions of bi beans support the scatter graph type
thanks.
u can email me in
[email protected]

Hi,
What version of Oracle Forms are you using? If it is 10.1.2.0.2 (10g R2 Phase 2) then the BI Beans version should be 10.1.2.1 (3.2.2.0.24.2).
When you run a Graph, do you see any version numbers?
Regardless of the version, scatter graph should work. What kind of errors are you getting?
When you install BI Beans in JDeveloper, you get access to BI Beans Help. Go to the following topic for setting up data for a scatter graph:
Help -> Building Applications with BI Beans -> Presenting Data in Graphs -> Specifying Data for Graphs
Did you try posting your question on the Oracle Forms forum?

Why the scatter graph doesnt show data?

Hi,
I would like to ask something..i use the latest version of bean with size 1.74 MB and i download it from the oracle site but SCATTER GRAPH didn't work with it.. it doesn't show anything from the data that have been sent to it..
I saw in the sample code that comes with the bean (graph90 file) that the scatter type is new supported one..so does this version of bean support the scatter graph in oracle 10g forms? if yes what do you think that the problem might be ?
Does anyone know what the problem might be and how i can fix it?
Thanks alot
