Hi ,

I am working on a graph report. I have a problem with the display of legend .
Able to display legend for multiple values but not able to display for single value.
Ex:

I am plotting a graph using one numeric field & one alphanumeric across a month field.
Whenever there are multiple months in the data It is displaying Legend for all the months presented.
But if I have only one month it is not displaying the legend.


I am copying the sample code here (developed using CAR master file). Please check the code once and let me know if u get any clue.

It would probably help if you let us know what you are running where it fails.

I've tried this in 7.1.6 WebFOCUS via Adhoc page and the LEGEND shows up for me.

I tried the code in version 7.13, and the Legend exists ( a little blue square below the x-axis title), but it is not labelled (you would expect the label of "ITALY").

Try this for a workaround:

-DEFAULT &VARCTR = 1
-DEFAULT &COUNTRY = 'ITALY'

GRAPH FILE CAR

SUM DEALER_COST AS ''
ACROSS MODEL
BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&COUNTRY'

setTextString(getAnnotation(0), "&COUNTRY");
setRect(getAnnotation(0),new Rectangle(500,-14850,1500,100));

Is there another solution to this? I don't think this work around is going to work for me. Why would it not display the Legend Display if it's one value? This makes no sense. If it's only one value...you just should know what it is?

JG? Anybody?

Amarnath,

Can you tell you which release you are seeing this issue in? I ran your code in both WF 7.6.9 and 7.6.10 releases and saw the legend appear on the chart.

This was an old issue for him...this is my issue now...You see the Word ITALY under the purple square when you run the orginal graph?

Prarie, I have done an internal search and unfortunately it's a known bug supposedly fixed in 7.6.5,
have you tried it on your 7.6.5 test environment.

It does work in 7.6.6 and above.

One possible solution that I saw was instead of coding ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VAREA
explicitly set the graph type using the API call
e.g. setGraphType(31);

Never know might work.

JG, that's an excellent idea. I actually tried it in Release 7.6.1 and it worked. I modified the original fex to show a working example.

-DEFAULT &VARCTR = 1
-DEFAULT &COUNTRY = 'ITALY'

Vlozovsky -

That work around will not work for me...because the real graph will some days have one value and others have several.

JG I'll try your suggestion.

Come on Prarie wake up, you know better than that.
What's actually missing from the work around is the first step.

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM DEALER_COST AS ''
ACROSS MODEL
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SAVE
END
-RUN
-SET &&VARCTR = &LINES;

That accomodates the bypass if more than 1 exists.

Yes you are correct I was not awake, and was coming back to say...I got it! Brain was not with me earlier.
