How can a reference line be added to a bar chart? The value for the reference line would come from a dynamic variable which is set and DEFINEd prior to the GRAPH FILE [filename]. But how does it get displayed within the graph? While we’re at it, how about adding a trend line to the same graph?

Thanks, Doug

Thanks Tom, I searched on "advanced graphics line" and didn't get relevant info. I did the "reference line" search and did find a few "reference line" results mixed in with many "reference" and "line" results. It's better then my 1st search results.

thats how many search engines work- you basically have to get a bit clever with them and try and think of the terms others would have used when asking the question...

i would say 95% of my questions i don't bother my mentors with are solved by using the search, there is an awful lot of info in there, it's a case of weeding out out what you need...

Be nice now nubi, I know how search engines work and I'm not afraid to use them. Perspective for Java had what I needed. I do, normally, find what I'm looking for here in The WebFOCUS World...

Anyway, here's what I was looking for, and it works great:

setReferenceLine (getY1Axis(), 0, 45000);
setLineWidth (getReferenceLine (getY1Axis(), 0), 3);
setFillColor (getReferenceLine (getY1Axis(), 0), new Color (255, 0, 0));

NOTE, FYI: this is good for a bar chart with a yaxis gt 45000, as in:
GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM DEALER_COST
ACROSS COUNTRY
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR...

no drama intended i just didn't know if you wre one of these users who didn't - it seems posts on here could actually be answered with a search through the archives but many people complain of not finding the results they need so its worth reiterating that search engines are 'dumb' and you need to make them 'smart'
