[CLOSED] scatter graph with data lables
Hi,

I have a sample scatter graph with the code below:
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
RETAIL_COST
DEALER_COST
BY CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS GRAPHCAR
END

-*INTERNAL_PROPERTIES$SampleData=false;OBJECTID=GLOBAL
-*INTERNAL_PROPERTIES$GlobalRecordLimit=500;OBJECTID=GLOBAL
-*INTERNAL_PROPERTIES$FieldDisplayMode=label;OBJECTID=GLOBAL
-*INTERNAL_PROPERTIES$PrefixDisplayMode=;OBJECTID=GLOBAL
GRAPH FILE GRAPHCAR
-* Created by Advanced Graph Assistant
SUM GRAPHCAR.GRAPHCAR.RETAIL_COST
BY GRAPHCAR.GRAPHCAR.DEALER_COST
ON GRAPH PCHOLD AS HOLD FORMAT PNG
ON GRAPH SET BARNUMB OFF
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
ON GRAPH SET VZERO ON
ON GRAPH SET GRID ON
ON GRAPH SET GRMERGE ADVANCED
ON GRAPH SET GRMULTIGRAPH 0
ON GRAPH SET GRLEGEND 0
ON GRAPH SET GRXAXIS 1
ON GRAPH SET HAXIS 770
ON GRAPH SET VAXIS 405
ON GRAPH SET UNITS PIXELS
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH SCATTERS
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setReportParsingErrors(false);
setSelectionEnableMove(false);
setMarkerDisplay(true);
setConnectLineMarkers(false);
setConnectScatterMarkers(false);
setX1LabelDisplay(true);
setX1AxisSide(0);
setX1MajorGridDisplay(true);
setX1MajorGridStyle(0);
setX1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setAxisAssignment(0,0);
setSeriesType(0,0);
setY1LabelDisplay(true);
setY1AxisSide(0);
setY1MajorGridDisplay(true);
setY1MajorGridStyle(0);
setY1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setTextFormatPreset(getY1Label(),-1);
setTextFormatPattern(getY1Label(),"#.##");
setPieFeelerTextDisplay(1);
setPieLabelDisplay(0);
setTextFormatPreset(getPieSliceLabel(),1);
setRiserBorderMode(1);
setSeriesDefaultTransparentBorderColor(true);
setUseSeriesBorderDefaults(true);
setLegendDisplay(true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY1Title(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY1Label(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY2Title(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY2Label(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getX1Title(),true);
setPlace(true);
setDataTextPosition(1);
setDisplay(getDataText(),true);
setDataTextTemplateScatter("CAR");
ENDSTYLE
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, SQUEEZE=ON, $
TYPE=REPORT, FONT='TIMES NEW ROMAN', SIZE=10, GRID=OFF, $
ENDSTYLE
END

As you can see, right now, I put a text field "CAR" AS THE data lable, is there a way to replace that to the real car value? Like: Like AUDI, BMW, TOYOTA, etc?

How to do that?

Thanks,

Hi JZMSH ,

What you want to do is not possible with a scatters graph.
Please check pages 304 and 305 on graph manual DN4500708.0909.
You can only use a text string (which you did with the word CAR) or a computation using the X and Y values for the graph. You can create the scatters graph but not with the data text labels you desire.

Cheers,

Kerry
