Rugged lines in Pie chart

Hi,
When i create pie chart in MS Excel and copy it to illustrator and remove unwanted elements and again export it to QuarkXpress/InDesign in .EPS format, in transparent mode. I get a rugged cirle lines.
When everything is done and the PDF of the file is created, when i close obsever the pie chart in through the Adobe Reader, the pie chart shows rugged circle instead of smooth circle. Is it fine or ?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the input. But my report is to show top 3 salaries from all job types.
below is my query:
select null link, job,sal from (
select job,sal from (
select job,sal,
row_number() over(partition by job order by sal desc) rn
from emp)
where rn<2
order by sal desc)
where rownum<=3;
In this case how can i multiply the total sal with sal?

How to Get Lines in Pie Charts

Using CF7 and WebCharts3D, and got my pie chart working. Only
problem, I can't figure out how to get it to show LINES from the
label of each pie slice, to the label's corresponding slice. The
pie slice labels (descriptions) appear outside the pie chart, which
is where I need them. But when you get a pie chart with a lot of
slices (say 8 or more) and a lot of smaller slices close together,
it's hard to tell which label applies to which slice. Hope this
makes sense.
All I need is to ADD A SMALL LINE from each label to it's
corresponding pie slice. I've looked for options in WebCharts3D to
do this, but can't seem to find anything (in the Decorations,
Series, etc., sections).
If this is possible (getting these lines to appear) could
someone please advise how to do this? Greatly appreciate any
help/advice. (It's probably something very easy, and I just missed
it).

I was afraid of that. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't
missing something. Thanks for the note and for confirming. Much
appreciated.

How to create Leader Lines for Pie Chart Labels

I like Numbers but the restrictions they force are sometime just too much.
Example: Labels
The restriction of only being able to move a label of a wedge on a parallel axis is ridiculous. Here Excel clearly out shines Numbers.
I want an option to add a leader to a "Value" label so I can move it away from an area that is too crowded or the space for it is limited.
Yes, I know I could just not turn Labels on in Numbers and then use a text box to place the value anywhere I wish and then draw in a leader to fit my needs. But that is no solution just a horrible work-around.
Come on Apple. You've started a nice product here but gee-whiz, golly-gee, it's hard to adopt your products as MS replacements when so many basic features are missing.

AlbertEinstein,
And I don't understand why you are even posting here. What in your reply was useful to my issue? Seriously, if you're here on this board just to spout opinions, might I suggest you take up blogging.
As for me, I'm here to try to find an answer to my problem. If you're knowledgable and know that it can't be done then just saying so the way Badunit did. It wasn't the answer I was looking for but at least he was trying to be constructive.
OK, so to your point. You've been using spreadsheets since Visicalc, good for you. My issue isn't with the spreadsheet part of Numbes, but rather with the charting technology.
Well I was a draftsperson when all there was, was boards and T-Squares. And a common rule is if your information is too close, overlaps, etc to be understood then you use a leader to move it to an area where it is not so cluttered.
Your issues with OpenOffice and MS Office I can't address because I'm not interested in either of those products within this thread.
So please if you have a suggestion as to how to solve my issue then I welcome your comments. But if you're here just to "complain" about others complaining I can just ask, what's your point?

Interactive Bar/pie chart and line graph, data from excel/text file -urgent

Hi,
I have a huge data in excell sheet which keeps updating every month. Data basically consists of service provider and there respective subscribers from various regions of the country over the years. The requirement is to give the viewers an interactive page where in they can make various combinations and can compare, cross examine data according to thier choice.
We want the pie chart / bar graph or line graph to be created on the fly according to the combination made by the user.
The site is hosted on a red hat linux server. how can a connection to the excel spreadsheet be made or is it possible to read from the text file if the entire data is exported to a text file.
Is there any ready made tool/code available which can be customised according to the need.
Thanx in advance
Regards
Prakash

I certainly wouldn't pay for the graphing package at the previous link. check out http://www.object-refinery.com/jfreechart/ for a free, open-source, much better looking graphing package.

Drilldown on line chart w/3 series to 3 different pie charts w/ DV

Hello experts,
My situation is the following. I have a Line chart representing sales on 3 different series(actual, budget and last year) along the 12 months. Then 3 different pie chart that link the office sales of each serie and each month. I successfully linked the drill down data, but I can't make it workout the dynamic visibility everytime you select a different serie on the line chart, because of the common issue of the insertion that doesn't clear the previous selection when you make another one. I'll attach the xlf file as a txt. Hope you can make it work.
Thanks a lot

Code regarding Pie Chart, Bar Chart and Line Chart

I just want to make a pie chart

I've been assigned to make a pie chart in class (with each section a different color), and I've loaded the javax.swing.JApplet and java.awt.*
I've only gotten as far as drawing the circle. I know how to create lines, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do to fill in the sections of the pie chart with different colors.
Could anyone help me with this simple project? Like what method I should look at?

Have you looked at the link?
public abstract void fillArc(int x,
                             int y,
                             int width,
                             int height,
                             int startAngle,
                             int arcAngle)So, let us guess at how to draw a circle, and 300 x 400, Mmm the x would be 300, and the y 400. It wants to have a radius of 100px, so thats the width & hieght sorted. Do you want it to be a complete circle? If so that is from 0-360 degrees . So that is the start & end angle.
Actually, do you know draw to the screen?

Crystal Reports Pie Chart showing Sum 100% in Legend. How to remove?

I have a Pie chart which displays correctly but in the Legend is displayed the values with the correct percentages AND the Sum showing 100%.
I need to either remove the Sum line or be able to change the text from the report since I have to produce the report in 4 languages and the Sum always shows up in the language of the server.
the legend looks something like;
value1 25%
value2 25%
value3 75%
Sum 100% <------ this line must go or be changed (e.g. in Italian as Totale)
Running a server for each language is not an option
There are a variable number of values so I cannot overlay a rectangle on a fixed position. (awfull solution)
Is there any way I can simply turn off the Summ (not the whole legend which is needed)?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using Crystal Reports 2008
Best Regards
Chris Ryder

Well Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
The client is very specific about the look and feel so I cannot change to not using a legend. However, the discussions serves to confirm that it is NOT possible which is actually just as useful.
In Conclusion
To restate the problem the client has a report which can be displayed in one of four languages by choice from the end user. The report contains a pie chart which displays the various segment names and percentages as a legend. At the bottom of this legend appears automaticaly the word Summ in the langauge of the the 'Server Locale' (in our case german Summe) and the 100% value.
I wished to know if it was possible to either change the language of this word (without changing the server as I do not have access) or to remove it altogether.
The answer is NO it is not possible to remove only this word or to change it in anyway.
Our final workaround is;
we hide the Legend on the graph and build it as a seperate entity next to the graph. Not ideal as everything is then done twice and we have an indirect link between the segment colours and the legend colours which is not apparent directly in the report. But at least the client has signed off on the report.
once again thank you for taking the time to think about the problem.
Chris Ryder

Pie Chart PCXML

Hi-
I have modified pcxml line for:
<DataLabels Font='Size:9;Style:Bold;' TransparentBackground='False' BGColor='#FFFFFFcd' Position='OutsideWithLeaderOnSides' ShowSeriesTextType='NameBelowValueOnGraph' BorderType='None' />(Note that I've modified the 'Position' property value)
in directories:
OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\popbin and OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\popbin
Then restarted the services (even the machine)
But the display is coming out in a weird way; If I put the pie chart in the dashboard, after the loading clock comes out and disappear, the pie will not showing any modifications at all. But If I then clicked on the 'Dashboard' link (the loading clock won't come out since I have cached the result) the pie will showing the expected result (the data label will use the OutsideWithLeaderOnSides property).
Does anyone has experienced this before? Is this a known issue?
(Environment: Win XP)
Regards,
Will

Hi John,
Yes, the 'OutWithLeaderOnSides' is one of the property-value too, it displays the same with 'OutsideWithLeaderOnSides'. But the problem still exists.
Thanks,
Will

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

Pie chart legend total does not calculate correctly

Hi All
I have a pie chart in a CR 2008 report (SP0).
The pie has one "On Change Of" and one "Show Value" field.
The datasource for the report is an Oracle 10g (Rel 2) Stored Procedure (SP).
The SP signs the value per each transaction (record), so if the txn is a reversal is will arrive in the report as a negative value
The records that are listed in the report have the correct sign on each line, and totals in the report are correct
So, if the first record has a value of 10,000 - these would be known as Cash txns
and the second record has a value of -5,000 - these would be known as Cash Reversal txns
The report total will be 5,000
In the legend entry of the pie chart the values per series are being displayed correctly. There is a series per Txn type (so one series represents Cash txns, the second series represents Cash Reversal txns)
From the example above my pie shows 1 txn for Cash @ 10,000
and 1 txn for Cash Reversal @ -5000 (it has the negaitve amount in brackets)
But the total in the legend is 15,000
I cannot figure out why that the legend total is not calculating correclty.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
Any help would be great thanks
Best regards
Patrick

Just realised why.... The total is counting all txns, and my formula is not telling it that Reversal should be subtracted - duuhhhh!!!!

Pie chart label

I have a pie chart and the region is limited in width.
Some of the labels are a little long (even if they are abreviations) so that when they are at the center left or right of the pie chart, the labels are not enterily displayed.
I was wondering if there was a way to display the label and value on seperate lines...
I tried to add a chr(13) at the end of my labels in my sql query, but when the graph is displayed it shows something like this:
"my lable"
, "my value"
I haven't find a way to remove the comma, it seems to be hard coded in an apex query...
in the xml definition I can add a newline by doing this
<text><![CDATA[{NAME}
{VALUE}]]></text>
but it only works for the hints label...
btw, I'm using Apex 3.0.1.00.08
anyone can help me?
Thanks
Max

Hi Max
Sorry for not getting back quicker - not sure if it's just me, but all the oracle servers seem to be dying right now!
Anyway, the answer isn't pretty, but it will work:
1 - In your select statement, change the LABEL value to be:
labelfield || CHR(10) || TO_CHAR(valuefield) LABEL
2 - In the custom XML section: Remove {VALUE} from the hints section
3 - Also in custom XML, set show = "NO" in the values section

Legend for Pie Chart

Is it possible to suppress those lines in the legend of a pie chart where the underlying data is zero, and consequently where no slice is displayed?
