I am new to WebFOCUS and I am wondering if our solution is best practice or if someone has a better solution.
I had my hold file graph set to:
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VLINE
The graph only displayed plot points until I explicitly added:
SetConnectLineMarkers(true);
which did add the connecting lines to the graph.
Should I add this to all my VLINE graphs?

Hi,
I am able to generate the line graph using below code:
GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM DEALER_COST
BY COUNTRY
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VLINE
END

If you could share your sample code then it would be easy to identify the issue.


WF 8.1.04,Infoassist,Oracle, Excel, PDF,HTML.

Hi jvb,

Here is an example using the CAR file.

This method produces a scatter plot. Uncommenting the "-*setConnectLineMarkers(true);" produces a vline graph. I am confused on why it is necessary to explicitly set the connecting line.

 
-* File: IBFS:/DEV/WFC/Repository/Common/Report1.fex Created by WebFOCUS AppStudio
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
     CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
     CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
     COMPUTE Margin/I10CM = CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST - CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST;
BY  CAR.CARREC.MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS CarMargin1 FORMAT BINARY
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Commenting out the PRINT line and replacing it with the uncommented SUM line (see code snippet) will also produce the vline graph.

[CODE SNIPPET]
SUM CARMARGIN1.CARMARGI.Margin
-*PRINT CARMARGIN1.CARMARGI.Margin
[/CODE SNIPPET]

We could always go with the SUM method, but I assume that using the SUM command would be slightly less efficient.

Please let me know if you need anything further. All advice is appreciated.
Thanks
