Scattered Charts and point labels

Not sure if this has already been discuss here..
I have the following data
Task1 1 1
Task2 2 9
Task3 5 3
I would like to create a scatter chart and have the appropriate Task label next to the plotted point. I'm assuming this should be done using Data Point Settings options but unfortunately it's gray out for scattered charts..
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks,

Select point on chart and retrieve more than just data

var ShiftChart = document.FR_Runtime_ShiftHistory.getChartObject();
var selDate = ShiftChart.getYDataValueAt(1,ShiftChart.getLastSelectedPoint());
alert(selDate);
When dealing with a grid I can find the select cell value of column 1 or whatever column. How can I do the same thing by using a chart? In this example, I select the pen at a point on the chart and it gives me the data for it. I would like extract other values that identify that point like Date and Line. How can I do this?

I used your suggestion and "nLINE" is the 2nd column. So I replaced it with the number 2. I did the alert and I got no data in the pop up window. Now according to you, this means the data is not an integer. I know that nLINE in my database is an INT. So what could be the problem and what is the next step.
In my applet this is my param
<param name="ChartSelectionEvent" value="DrillDown">
Here is the function
function DrillDown()
     //set up aliases for easy reference
     var ShiftChart = document.FR_Runtime_ShiftHistory.getChartObject();
     var selPoint = ShiftChart.getLastSelectedPoint();
     var test = ShiftChart.getDatalinkValue(1,selPoint,1);
     alert(test);

Charting using ActionScript and chart height,width and axis labels

hello, i am creating charts using action script but can't
seem to do 2 things right now. 1. put labels on the axisis. 2. i
can't set the height/width to 100%. does anyone know how?...below
is the function i use to create the charts
public var myChart:BarChart;
public var series1:BarSeries;
public var legend1:Legend;
private function addGraph():void {
// Create the chart object and set some
// basic properties.
myChart = new BarChart();
myChart.showDataTips = true;
myChart.dataProvider = feedRequest.lastResult.root.data;
// Define the category axis.
var vAxis:CategoryAxis = new CategoryAxis();
vAxis.categoryField = yAxis;
vAxis.dataProvider = feedRequest.lastResult.root.data;
myChart.verticalAxis = vAxis;
myChart.width=100;
myChart.height=100;
var la = new LinearAxis;
// Add the series.
var mySeries:Array=new Array();
series1 = new BarSeries();
series1.xField=xAxis;
series1.yField=yAxis;
series1.displayName = xAxis;
mySeries.push(series1);
myChart.series = mySeries;
// Create a legend.
legend1 = new Legend();
legend1.dataProvider = myChart;
// Attach chart and legend to the display list.
chartWindow.addChild(myChart);
chartWindow.visible=true;
}

use the percentWidth and percentHeight properties.

LV7 How to click on an xy chart and identify the data point selected

I have an xy chart displaying a time chart showing points when faults were identified, and want the user to be able to touch the plot area and for that data point to be identified so that the main display can be switched to the appropriate data.
I have a solution where I drag the cursor to the required point then use Mouse Up event to read the cursor value, then search the data array for the matching cursor value and get the solution.
However this is on a touch screen UI and dragging to cursor does not work very well. What I would like is to be able to convert the mouse position (relative to the full screen) and convert this to the position on the plot area that is given by the cursor position.
I
f someone could tell me how to get the screen position of the plot area rather than the full bounds of the xy control I think I could do it.

Yes, I agree it is not very pratical. I would prefer if the true x,y coordinates could be obtained directly in the event structure.
In addition to the "Coords" terminal, we also need a terminal that provides the coordinates directly in the true plot units. That would definitely be very useful.
Make sure to suggest it to NI (I have, long ago!).

Proportional pie charts and annotation

Hi,
I have Numbers to help me make colourful, etc. graphs for inclusion in my MSc dissertation. I am using pie charts to show annual comparisons between common forms of disposing of waste. Ideally, I'd like the pie chart to show the amount of hazardous waste produced per annum, i.e. the larger the amount produced, the larger the pie chart. Other than doing it manually, by eye, can Numbers do this?
Finally, when some of the fractions are small, instead of showing, say <1%, it will say 0%. Can I alter the labelling of the pie chart's slices?
Many thanks - and I hope that this makes sense!
Simon

Axtron,
Not seeing your available data, the only thing to go by is the image that comes to mind. Pie charts are excellent for depicting parts of the whole, so your concept of showing all the various waste materials produced in a year broken into percents works well. The pie charts will do the percents for you. Perhaps grouping a few waste types with small amounts and labeling them "All Others" would work.
To show comparisons of successive years would require a pie chart for each year. One would scan across the row of charts and see certain types of waste were increasing or decreasing percent-wise over a period of time. But remember, each chart has to be the same size so as not to distort the data.
If you are interested in showing increases and decreases in quantities of the various waste types over a period of time, perhaps a line or bar chart would be more effective. As a matter of fact, you could use either of these to show the percents of the pie chart as well. Once you have a table of data you can experiment with each type of chart to see which best emphasizes your point.

Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.

Pie chart problem with label!

Hello,
I found this example of pie chart, I tried to use several pie charts but the label square move in some chart. It shows the square moved down when it uses the vi.
I attached the example with 4 pie charts and sometimes it show the 4 sqaures and sometimes down one. Any way to fit it?.
I would like to see some example with 3d pie chart. Do you know any example?.
Thanks in advance!.

Sorry guys!. i got it.
Changing the first time call to comparison of For Loop = 0, so always start with the value fixed to draw the square.
Thanks.

Scattered Charts Plots overlay-unclear explanation

As did other questioners, I want to overlay two scatter plots. I use Numbers '09 on an iMac 10.6.8.
To make a single scatter plot I have to select two columns of my 9 column table and then select the graph icon and select the scatter plot. I make a plot of columns A and I, and another of columns A and J. Jerrold Green said " it's as easy as selecting your second data set and dragging it into the chart."
But I cannot seem to do that. I have the A-I chart and then I select columns A and J, but I cannot manage the dragging. Moving the mouse after making the selection just selects more columns. If I just select column J, then I can drag that to the graph, but that produces a cluster of points all lined up vertically, which is clearly wrong. How do I "select my second data set and drag it?"
Column A is dates, and the other columns are numbers, so I have to use the scatter plot, and I cannot select the three columns to make the plot, that does not work,

Bruce,
Make sure that you have selected Share X Values. It's on the Data Range menu in the upper left corner of the highlighted portion of your Table when the Chart is selected. Icon for the menu is a gear.

Some urgent chart issues : Lost labels & erroneous decimal places

Hello everybody,
we have some new and really urgent problems with some charts.
Lost labels
Like you can see in the figure below, our charts sometimes loose some lables on the graphs.There are some different scenarios for the problem.
1) Two neighbouring bars have similar values and similar height. So the labels would overlap. In that cases, the charts loose one of the two labels. (see the yellow markers on the bars in the figure below)
2) A chart´s graph tends to the maximum scale of its surrounding container div. The chart components then often "decide", that they do not have enough space for a label and so do not display these labels (line in figure below).
Is there any possibility to fix these problems? Manipulating the charts via css doesn´t work, because the missing elements are not created at all. So there isn´t any element in the DOM that could be adressed.
Erroneous decimal places
In addition to the problems above, we have another one that causes ugly headaches. The values in some charts have 14 decimal places. Settings in the query (we use BW queries as DataSrc) or in the initial view are completely effectless. First we supposed that the problem correlates with some chart types, but in the meanwhile we get the problem with almost all types.
Is anybody out there with similar problems or any ideas to fix the problem?
Thanks so far & kind regars,
Sebastian

Hi Tammy,
thank you for your very quick response. I´m working with IE 10.0.9200 and Design Studio 1.2 SP1. The Application runs normally on a BOE-Server. but the problems occur even when i run the application locally.
But first of all i will check the thread you recommended.
Thanks for your help!

Missing "Charts, Images, Text Labels" demo from iWorks Numbers page.

Really just an issue with the number iWorks page on the website.
At the address below, Apple has a few watchable demos:

But the hyperlink listed under "Charts, Images, Text Labels." is the same as the one under "Flexible Canvas."
Does anyone have the actual address that takes you to the "Charts, Images, Text Labels." demo?

Flex Column Chart X-axis Label position

Hello,
I have a Column Chart and am wanting to align the X-axis labels on top of each Column. Is there a way to achieve this?
Can we change the label's default position? I know there is a "rotation" property which rotates the labels but i want to change the label postion.
Any help/pointers is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Been diging throught he charts source to figure out if there is a way of doing what I wanted, and appartntly there is (well - for the most part). For anyone else interested there is a property called alignLabelsToInterval for the LinearAxis class. This is not documented but it is a public variable - in the code ( http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/frameworks/projects/charts/src/m x/charts/LinearAxis.as ):
* @private
public function get alignLabelsToInterval():Boolean
return _alignLabelsToInterval;
* @private
public function set alignLabelsToInterval(value:Boolean):void
if (value != _alignLabelsToInterval)
_alignLabelsToInterval = value;
invalidateCache();
dispatchEvent(new Event("mappingChange"));
dispatchEvent(new Event("axisChange"));
Setting this parameter to false allows the base label to stay on the origin of the chart. Then you need to compute a suitable interval for the axis to get the labels you want.
Phew!

Charts and/or illustrations ruin the formatting on my ereader

I've been downloading library books using the Adobe digital editions software for a few weeks now. This is the first book I downloaded that had charts embedded in the manuscript. Every time I come to one of the charts, the chart is reduced to a column of numbers, and the printing is scattered over several pages, and the font is limited to the smallest (extremely small) size. It is extremely difficult to read - moving forward one page for a few lines, then back for a few more lines, trying to figure out where this section ends and what page to continue on. I am SHOCKED!! After all these years, I thought Adobe was perfect! Do you know if this is a regular problem with this software? Or is it possibly my ereader causing this problem? Is there anything I can do to correct it?

It's most likely something in the HTML coding which is embedded in the epub file. From what I've seen ADE handles charts and tables as well as any ereader (which is not saying much really).

Chart and filter button missing

when I insert a query in a workbook the chart and filter button are missing. We are using netweaver 2004s. is there a way to have them display?

Hi LMM,
There are 2 ways to create workbooks:
1) create a workbook in Excel (create new workbook in Excel thus not via the GUI), insert a query using the Bex analyzer and save using the Bex analyzer.
2) create a query using Bex analyzer, execute the query, save as workbook using Bex analyzer
Option 2) will have the chart and filter buttons.
Option 1) will not have these options.
Assuming you created the workbook using option 1), please recreate the workbook using option 2).
You should now have the chart and filter options.
Please assign points of this solved your problem,
Best Regards,
Filip

SPC Charts and Analysis

Hi....
Do any of the BusinesssObjects applications support the generation of statistical process control (SPC) charts like x-bar charts and histograms? Which one....
I need a software application that can pull data out of a MS SQL 2005 database and Oracle database and present SPC charts via a web browser. It'll need to be able to calculate and display standard deviation, control limits, specification limits, and process calability stats like Cpk.
I've found some references to what I need in reference to 'BusinessObjects Process Analysis' and 'BusinessObjects Dashboard builder', but nothing that really communicates which product or products can do it.
Thanks for any pointers.
John

You have to log into SAP to see the charts , cp,cpk values etc. I am not aware of any options to publish these charts on web, I never got a chance to do that.
But with my experience, the SPC options in standard SAP (ECC or R/3) are very limited not like third party applications like infinity qs etc. The SPC chart options like any other sap r/3, go to the related transaction code and pull up the charts on various selection criteria. Configurable graphical options are available and SAP supports various kinds of charts.
The other option (I have doen it in multiple places) is utilize sap to gather/collects data points, inerface third party statistical packages like statistica to sap r/3 . downlaod the data from sap and do the analysis.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Ram

Discoverer Bar Chart Data Points

Hi everyone,
I am creating a Bar Chart in Discoverer with the data points to be displayed at the top. Does anyone know how to make the datapoints not display decimal places. I've tried to change the number format in the table and through administrator as well. The table does not display decimal places but the Bar Chart Data Points continue to do so. Any suggestions or thoughts to try would be welcomed. Thanks!

If you edit the chart and choose X-Axis Scale I believe you can set the number of decimal place there. Should be able to set it to 0.
