Is it possible to change a marker color on a line graph depending on the value? (WebFocus 5.3) Thanks for any suggestions!

look at the following post

Change the graphtype to VLINE and change setConnectLineMarkers(false); to setConnectLineMarkers(true);

As well as changing the marker color it also changes the color of the line from the afected point.

I couldn't get it to work. Is it possible on a VBAR2AX graph?

When you say VBAR2AX I assume that one of the series has been set to display as a line.

The following code which is basically as the original works for VBAR2AX.

The important thing is that 1st value assigned in the COMPUTE FRED to

setExceptionalRiser and getExceptionalRiser must be the series number of the line plot

Because its java the 1st series is 0 and the 2nd series is 1

 
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST NOPRINT
COMPUTE COUNTER/I9= LAST COUNTER +1; NOPRINT
-* required because the java API starts counting from 0
COMPUTE COUNTER/I9= COUNTER -1; NOPRINT
COMPUTE FRED/A100= IF C1 LE 6000 THEN 'setExceptionalRiser(1,' || EDIT(C3) || '); ' | 
                  'setFillColor(getExceptionalRiser(1,' || EDIT(C3) || '),new Color(255,0,0));' ELSE ' ';
BY MODEL NOPRINT
ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY
ON TABLE SAVE
END
