Business Graphics, intermixing chart types

[former_member81749]

Hi to all,

Has anyone tried to intermix chart types? Specifically, i'm trying to display a "column" type chart, but I would like to have a straight horizontal line through the chart indicating a key value or values. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael,

How to use Business Graphics in Web Dynpro applications?

The following tutorial shows you step-by-step how to create a simple business graphic using Web Dynpro.

A simple business graphic is a chart consisting of a category and one or more data series. Column charts, bar charts and pie charts are typical examples of simple business graphics.

Simple business graphics differ from complex business graphics, such as scatter charts and portfolio charts.

Requirements

In order to use business graphics in your application, you must install the Internet Graphics Service (IGS) on your server environment. Furthermore, the IGS must be configured on the J2EE engine.

Code Sample

The ready-to-use project is available to download from SDN.

Do you know if it is possible to do this in the Web Application Designer for use with BW information? I need to create a dynamic value access. How would the Javascript work in this case?

Hello,

there is always the possibility to split up your customizing in a static and a dynamic part. You can create the static part with the ChartDesigner at design time as usual.

At runtime create a Java String with the desired customizing xml using your context data and set it via IWDBusinessGraphics.setDirectCustomizing(). If there are overlaps between static and dynamic customizing, the dynanmic customizing will win.

Hope that helps

I was wrong. The experts are reading this forum

The dynamic part of the customizing could be something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<SAPChartCustomizing version="1.1">

<Elements>

<ChartAxes>

<ValueAxis id="ValueAxis1">

<GridLine>

<ValueRange id="ValueRange1">

<Visibility>true</Visibility>

<Start>10</Start>

<End>10</End>

<BorderColor>RGB(255,0,0)</BorderColor>

<BorderWidth>3</BorderWidth>

</ValueRange>

</GridLine>

</ValueAxis>

</ChartAxes>

</Elements>

</SAPChartCustomizing>

I.e. create a new value range and set the Start/End values at runtime.

Hi Please can explain a business graphic by adding percentages on the series lines.

Hello Armin,

It seems that the solution that was given was not going to be enough. If you have contacts that I can get in touch with to find out if it is even possible to do what I'm trying to acheive, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Michael

Thanks Armin & Kai,

Kai,

I presume you are refering to the Chart Desginer when for working with the axis. Is it possible to set the value dynamically, or bind it to a node?

Essentially, I want to be able to "highlight" the average value as a straight line on the y axis.

Thanks again,

In the global settings of the customizing choose e.g. 'Columns' as your desired chart type.

Then create a new node of series customizing by right-clicking on 'Series' and choosing 'Add Series'. After selecting this node take a look at its properties: you will also find a property chart type that can be set to a chart type that is compatible to the global one.

And finally don't forget to use this series customizing when creating your data.

BTW, as an alternative for displaying a horizontal line you can also use a value range: right-click on ValueAxis-Gridline and choose 'Add ValueRange'.

Anyone at all who can help me?

Basically, being able to highlight a particular increment would help me achieve the result i'm looking for as well.

Thanks,

I suppose the Business Graphics experts are not reading this forum. If you want, I can send you their e-mail address so you can contact them personally.

You could post your insights in this forum afterwards.
