Hi,

I am currently in the process of upgrading v4.3.6 to v7.6.10 (yes, it's a very big jump in version) and I have a question on the GRAPHEDIT option. I set GRAPHEDIT to ON so that the graph allows to change form and structure by the user (ie. from Bar to Line to Pie, etc).

I get the following error:
(FOC32464) GRAPHEDIT=ON IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH GRAPHENGINE=NEW

From the forum, I found that if you set GRAPHEDIT=ON then you need to set GRAPHENGINE=OLD. This makes it works.

My question is that I'm wondering if there is an equivalent GRAPHEDIT functionality (allow user to change from bar to pie to line, etc) in the new graph engine that can be used?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Jimmy Pang

Hi Jimmy,

The following document may be of help.
WebFOCUS Release 7.6 Graph Support Statement

The GRAPHEDIT ON setting will invoke the Applet-Based graph and display a button in the upper-right corner of the window. This button will access the Graph Editor. The Graph Editor is an additional tool which allowed advanced editing of graph properties not available in the Graph Assistant. The Advanced Graph Assistant will replace the Graph Editor and expose more graph options in the tool.

Cheers,

Kerry

Thanks Kerry.
The documentation was a lot of help.

Basically for 5.3 or higher use:
SET GRAPHENGINE=GRAPH53 or SET GRAPHENGINE=NEW

Older will use:
SET GRAPHENGINE=GRAPH32 or
SET GRAPHENGINE=OLD or
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHENGINE OLD

Thanks again for your help.

Best Regards,

Jimmy Pang
