Hello everyone,
I'm looking at some chart possibilities of a date/time based dataset to display hourly activity. Attaching a desired output mockup along with available data.




I had planned to use Gantt chart idea but, we need to limit it to show a 24hr window for all the chosen dates to identify a pattern. The chart would have a duration in minutes for one event type (start time and end time) and other events would be just a Point in time (start time no end time in this case)

Please let me know of any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks as always for all the great contributors to this forum. I'm using 8202M app studio in this case if it matters.

If you've installed the D3 chart extensions, there's a Calendar Heat Map that's pretty close to what you're showing.

Take a look at the example here: https://github.com/ibi/wf-exte...ter/com.ibi.calendar

Thanks BabakNYC, I've used calender heatmap to show metrics for each day but this is hourly anlaysis and also other events with no metric, just a boolean. I'm not sure if that will satisfy what I'm looking for here...

Hi Vaayu,

This can also be accomplished with a report, not a chart, using ACROSS (dates across, like the time dimension on a chart's X-axis) and "cell" styling. I had done this a few years back but cannot find my code.

See this manual: Creating Reports With WebFOCUS Language (https://webfocusinfocenter.informationbuilders.com/wfappent/pdfs2/wf8202crlang.pdf), chapter 17, Creating and Managing a WebFOCUS Stylesheet. Using the WHEN phrase in a style specification you can determine the foreground and background colors based on data, e.g., date, values.

Example: TYPE=Data, BACKCOLOR=Aqua, COLOR=Navy, WHEN=LinePrice GT 500000, $

The red, green, and yellow circles can be image files (jpg, png, gif). Search for "Adding an Image to a Report" in the same manual. Or you can make it simpler by using the letter "O", make it bold and color it using style sheet settings.

Regards,
Ira
