Hi,

I've been playing with this since 7 this morning but it can't get it to work

I just want to show the data text for the line graph and hide it for the bar graph , but all it seems to do is show them both or hide them both

here is a car example of my problem

 
GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM   RETAIL_COST SALES
BY COUNTRY AS ''
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBRSTK2
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
ON GRAPH SET BARNUMB OFF
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
ON GRAPH SET VZERO ON
ON GRAPH SET GRID ON
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT PNG
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setPlace(false);
setLegendAutomatic(true);
setSeriesFillColor(0,new Color(196,79,0));
setSeriesFillColor(1,new Color(204,255,204));
setSeriesType(0,0);
setSeriesType(1,2);
setMarkerDisplay(true);
setAxisAssignment(getSeries(0),0);
setAxisAssignment(getSeries(1),0);
setDataTextDisplay(true);
setCustomDataText(getSeries(0), true);
setCustomDataText(getSeries(1), true);
setDisplay(getDataText(0), true);
setDisplay(getDataText(1), false);
ENDSTYLE

END

 

Any clues?

Hi Pete,

Try this....

setDisplay(getDataText(0),false);
setDisplay(getDataText(1),true);

Pete

Is this in 7.1 or in 5.3

Did you try playing with the sequence of the commands?
I'm sure it can be done, but I can't find the proper documentation for it.

An other (not so elegant) solution might be changing on of the font colors to white (or to the same as the bg color)

Hi Frank,

Its in 5.3.3

i'v tried to reduce the set instructions to the absolute minimum like :

setSeriesType(0,0);
setSeriesType(1,2);
setDataTextDisplay(true);
setCustomDataText(getSeries(0), true);
setCustomDataText(getSeries(1), true);
setDisplay(getDataText(0), true);
setDisplay(getDataText(1), false);

but it still doesn't work

suggestions,anyone ?

This code:
... in R714(MR and app development from dev studio) produces data text only on the line.


... R533 (MR browser version)... I can't get it to work. It looks like this is controlling it: setDataTextDisplay(true);.



Can you try it in your R714 Test environment?

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM   RETAIL_COST SALES
BY COUNTRY AS ''
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBRSTK2
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
ON GRAPH SET BARNUMB OFF
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
ON GRAPH SET VZERO ON
ON GRAPH SET GRID ON
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT PNG
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setSeriesType(0,0);
setSeriesType(1,2);
setDataTextDisplay(true);
setCustomDataText(getSeries(0), true);
setCustomDataText(getSeries(1), true);
setDisplay(getDataText(1), true);
setDisplay(getDataText(0), false);
ENDSTYLE
END
-EXIT
 

Both environments on W2003 EE

Hi Piipster,

I tried it on our 7.1.4 test machine , and it works just fine , so thats great news , since we are going to 7.6.2 at the beginning of feb.

On 5.3.3. i dont get i working at all , so our clients will probably have to wait for 7.6 , to get their graphs the way they want it

Thanks for looking into it

P.
