Set Region/Chart Width Dynamically

I am sure this has to be simple, but have been searching the forum for "Chart Width" and a LOT of data comes back. So, after searching for a long, time, I ask here... :-)
I would like to set the width of my charts dynamically from settings in the database. I know I can set the width and height in the chart settings section, but this hard codes them.
What I would like to do is get the width and height values from the user or a database query (so the user can customize how big a chart is) and set the values dynamically instead of hard coding.
Any suggestions or a shove in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Varad,
Thanks for the reply. This solved the problem of resizing the chart. What happened then was the the region was staying the same size, so the chart was running of the bottom and right if I increased the chart size. To fix this, I also had to update the region source to use the application items to pass in the width and height as well. Evidently the region was inheriting the width and height from the chart definition.
Anyway, go it working pretty much like I want it, although it does take some calculating.
On a side note, one irritating thing... When you turn on "User Custom XML" for the chart, it looses a bunch of stuff - like the Y axis information, grid-lines, etc. and you have to go put that back in manually.
Thanks again...

Reports 9.0.2. How to dynamically set graphic/chart width in paper layout?

Hi there,
I have a graphic with vertical bars in paper layout. Its width ranges from quarter of a A4 page width to several ones spanned. I have made the page width large enough but can not control the graphic width dynamically and when too much data must be shown on the X axis the bars get too thick to read.
Is there another way except of?:
- making the graph middle-sized and hoping that the client will not notice the visual glitch when too much or less data is the case;
- using JSP (this is not an option here).
To make the things worse, when the graph is expanded beyond a A4 page width or something its border reflects the change, but its contents is ugly shrunk.
As I browsed this forum, I got convinced that the only way to get the graph under control at some extend is to use JSP web report.
Anyone with experience on this? 10x in advance folks.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Dynamically set flash chart height?

Hi,
I have a flash chart that includes a selector that alters the query for the chart. Depending on what the user selects, the chart shows a different number of rows (this happens to be a stacked horizontal bar chart, but this could apply to any chart type). I would like to be able to dynamically set the chart height based on the number of rows the query returns. If I set it too small and the user makes a choice that returns a larger number of rows, the chart bars are compressed to the point where the labels are unreadable or omitted altogether. Conversely, if I set the height to a larger value and the user makes a selection that results in a small number of rows, the chart is overly extended and hard to read.
I am able to calculate what I'd like the chart height to be using a page item and a before header process. But I can't figure out how to pass this value to AnyChart. I tried using an item substitution (e.g., &P7_CHART_HEIGHT.) as the value for the chart height on the Chart Attributes/Chart Settings page, but this attribute requires a non-zero numeric value. I tried to figure out if I could alter the chart XML, but could not figure out how to do it and I'm not sure item substitutions would be passed in the XML anyway.
Is there a way to dynamically set the height attribute of a chart at page load time?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
You can update the Region Source of your chart, replacing the substitution strings *#HEIGHT#* with the reference to your page item *&P7_CHART_HEIGHT.*. So your chart region source should then look something like the following(note that I've trimmed some lines for display purposes), and when the chart is run it will pick up your setting for the height, based upon the value returned from your Before Header process:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
    codebase="#HOST_PROTOCOL#://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"

Setting Portlet Header Widths (not region widths!)

Am having trouble with portlet headers / portlets' widths being determined by the text width.
My region widths are set yet I have noticed that when I show portlet headers the width of the portlet appears to be determined by how many text characters in the header- (not how many text characters in the portlet itself)
Is there some way I can set the portlet width (as opposed to the region width) to ensure uniformity across my site?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Jo

Dynamically set itemRenderer content width

Hey all,
thanks for taking time to look at this. what I'm trying to do
is simple, I think, but evading me. I've got a datagrid set to 100%
width. I've got a total of 7 columns, the first 2 are fixed width.
The remaining 5 columns (and their contents, importantly), should
dynamically size to take up the remaining area. I'm using
comboboxes within these columns, and can't seem to set the width of
these comboboxes based on the width of the column they appear
within. I've tried just setting them to 100%, but that causes a
scrolltrack to appear and the combobox is hidden behind the
scrolltrack.
help is greatly appreciated

Are you using a drop in, inline, or custom component for an
itemRenderer? I do not think you can do this with a drop in item
renderer. I think you can do it using an inline itemRenderer but
this is not an ideal solution. I think that if you use a custom
component as the item renderer you could use databinding on the
width of the combo box where the data grid column of the data used
is the source.
ie. comboBox width="{columnx.width}" where columnx
corresponds to the column housing the combobox.

Flash Chart Width

Hello,
I would like to dynamically set the width of a flash chart, as the number of columns I display may vary a lot.
Is there a way to do that ?
Actually, I set a fixed width in the chart attributes, and I imagine that it is used in the #WIDTH# tag in the region source.
Christophe

I have the same problem with flash chart. In fact, no matter what I set for the chart width, it always displays up to 15 bars. 15 must be a default but I don't know where I can change it.
In SVG chart, I can change the data point limit (default is also 15) to something larger. How can I do that in flash chart? Ideally, the chart should automatically scale the bar width based on the number of data points.

How to Set Anychart Bar Width?

I have searched for this, perhaps I am missing something obvious ...
How do I set the Anychart bar chart width?
When a chart has only a few values, the bars are too wide.
Client want standard (narrower) bar widths in these cases, not one or two wide bars.
Have searched the XML settings, have not found it yet.
Anyone?
Thank you - Karen

Hi Karen,
With AnyChart, the bar width is something that is calculated automatically. You'll see this mentioned in the AnyChart online documentation on Bar Charts. You could try playing around with the padding options, to see if such settings help.

Hilary

Setting Region Attributes

Trying to set some region attributes to control width and height of my region. Unfortunately the settings do not seem to work.
I have entered width=700px, width:700px, "width=700px" and "width=700px", all with no luck.
If I edit the region template directly and replace the #REGION_ATTRIBUTES# tag from the top level div with style=width:700px, all works well.
What am I doing wrong when setting Region Attributes?
TIA...

Setting different pages widths in different sections - Pages 5.2

In Pages 5.2, how does one set different page widths (margins) in different sections?

You can't. Margins apply to the entire document.
What you can do is set the margins to their max width and then use left and right indents for the sections you want narrower.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?
<Re-Titled By Host>

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

How to set the column width in the PDF exports of interactive reports ?

Hello,
I have a huge problem with the PDF export for the Interactive reports. I'm using APEX 3.2.
I have to produce a PDF report in landscape format that show 21 columns. My problem is that the columns have a ridiculous short width and that the text inside the columns do not wrap in the columns. So I get things like that :
Date Name
2011 Leina
I should see 2011-08-01 and the name Leinad Jan
I tried several things to format the columns, but none of the them has any effect on the PDF itself.
1) I used HTML code in the report query. It works well with the interactive report, but display the HTML tags in the PDF.
2) I used css to set the width of my columns. It works in the interactive report, but not in the PDF, the column width do not change.
It's like the report do not notice that my page format is Legal 14 x 8.5 (Landscape) and still believe it's 8.5 x 11 (which is "portrait")
Do you have any idea so set the columkn widths in the reports ?
Thank you !
Edited by: leinadjan on Aug 1, 2011 11:15 AM

To "remember" the column widths, add a mouse listener to the table header. Upon mouseReleased(), get the column widths and save them to your file. When the application starts next time, get the stored widths and set them using:
table.getColumn("XXX").setPreferredWidth(...);
By default, your columns are adjustable, but you can use:
table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(true);

How to set a specific width to all the TextInputs used in a mxml file on its creation complete?

How to set a specific width to all the TextInputs used in a mxml file on its creation complete?

Hi subhajit nag,
I think the best approach would what I say is if you can make use of a Global variable or using a Singleton class having a variable which can be accessed globally through out the application.
Below is the sample what I am talking to:
So in below example you can access the variables textInputWidth and textInputHeight globally throghout the application since you have decalred them in main mxml file.
You can access these variabled in another mxml file as Application.application.textInputWidth and Application.application.textInputHeight. So if at all you are required to modify these values you are only required to modify at a single place in main mxml file..thats it.
If you are use any Singleton classes like ModelLocator you can place these variables in this class and refer from that class.
Hope this resoved your problem..
