All:

I've got a dilemma. When we run a line graph and there's only one series displayed, there is no text on the legend or on the popup when you mouse-over the line on the graph. Is there any way to tell WebFOCUS to always display the series text no matter how few or many lines may be displayed?

Shane,

Is this Shane from Paris, IL??

If so, How is everyone??? And, Say Hi to all!!

Post your code, I'll try to assist...

Tom,

Everyone is great. Developing our dashboard. You can use the CAR file to try it out.

If you run this code, you'll see that in my WHERE clause I select BMW, but when you hover over the line, it doesn't display BMW, just the value.

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM SALES
ACROSS DEALER_COST
BY CAR AS ''
WHERE CAR EQ 'BMW';

Shane,

The Line/Bar/Pie that you are plotting ALWAYS displays the value of what you are summing;
Add the the single BY value to a Heading.
If it's MULTIPLE, i.e., PLANT, then use that as the ACROSS, the X-axis, and skip over the HEADING.

You can use a BAR for SALES and a LINE for DEALER_COST, or, vice-versa.

The example is confusing in that you are plotting SALES(Y) ACROSS DEALER_COST(X) BY CAR

Try using:

GRAPH FILE CAR
-IF &VALUE CONTAINS 'OR' GOTO SKIP_HEAD;
HEADING CENTER
"<CAR"
-SKIP_HEAD
SUM 
     SALES AS '' 
     DEALER_COST AS ''
-IF &VALUE CONTAINS 'OR' GOTO DO_CAR;
ACROSS MODEL
-GOTO DO_GRAPH
-DO_CAR
BY CAR 
-DO_GRAPH
WHERE CAR EQ '&VALUE.EVAL';
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR
etc....

The above ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR does a bar with a line

Tom,

I guess I don't understand your answer.

Here's what I'm trying to do. We have a line graph that's being generated by WebFOCUS. We don't know how many lines will be drawn once the graph is finished. When there are 2 or more lines on the graph, the legend displays the values of the BY field.

If there is only one line plotted on the graph, the legend displays only a color with no text. From looking at other posts, I think i might need to do something with setSeriesLabel.

Just an update...

IBI is looking into this issue in their Product Division...sounds like a bug to me...
