I have a stacked bar graph on which I want to display ONLY the totla of the stacked bars.
The graph is buildt with underlying focus code similar to this:

sum cnt.cars
by country
across region

I found a
setDataTextStackedTotalOnTop(true) keyword in the WebFOCUS Keysheets on page 93. It certainly sounds like it would accomplish what I want... only I get a 'Possible Error on:setDataTextStackedTotalOnTop();' message.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to accomplish this?

quote:

setDataTextStackedTotalOnTop

I searched the Interwebs and IBI Tech Support and there's no mention of setDataTextStackedTotalOnTop.

There's no mention of it in the Perspective for Java documentation I have.

By the way, is GRAPH in WebFOCUS still using Perspective for Java? I just checked the Three D Graphics - Perspective for Java page and it states that the documentation was last updated on Oct. 2, 2000. There's nothing new since then?

Francis,

IBI purchased the API and source code from 3D a number of years ago, I think at least 5. Since then they have incorporated it into the product and have produced their own version of the manual.

There is a manual called wf713graph.pdf on the 76x doc CD dated April of 2007.

Hope this helps.

The good news is that both the Graph Assistant and the Advanced version both generate a lot of the API that we used to have to hand-code after searching through the manual for just the right property to set.

Now if I could only get the AGA to work in Unix....

One more thing, Francis. In the bin directory of your 5.3 Dev Studio installation, there should be a graph API manual with a later date than 2000.

Laure,
You can find lots of documentation in the wf713graph.pdf manual.

I find that one can show cumulative totals for every stack layer but not the total only. Here is an example:

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM CNT.CAR.COMP.CAR
BY CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE
ACROSS CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
ON GRAPH SET GRID ON
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
ON GRAPH SET GRMERGE ON
ON GRAPH SET VZERO ON
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setSeriesType(0,1);
setLegendDisplay(true);
setLegendMarkerPosition(0);
setMarkerDisplay(true);
setDataTextDisplay(true);
setStackedDataValueSum(true);
setGraphType(18);
setUseSeriesShapes(false);
setConnectLineMarkers(false);
setConnectScatterMarkers(false);
setO1LabelDisplay(true);
setO1AxisSide(0);
setO1MajorGridDisplay(true);
setO1MajorGridStyle(0);
setO1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setY1LabelDisplay(true);
setY1AxisSide(0);
setTextFormatPreset(getY1Label(),1);
setY1MajorGridDisplay(true);
setY1MajorGridStyle(0);
setY1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setFontSize(getO1Label(),12);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getO1Label(),true);
setPlace(true);
ENDSTYLE
END

Hi Laure (from Intersil???),

try this:

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
CAR.BODY.SALES
CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
ACROSS CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBRSTK1
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setDisplay(getDataTextStackedTotalOnTop(), true);
setFillColor(getDataTextStackedTotalOnTop(),new Color(0,0,255));
setDataTextPosition(0);
setTextRotation(getDataTextStackedTotalOnTop(), 0);
setPlace(true);
END
-EXIT

Laure,
Try running this procedure and see if that works for you.

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM CNT.CAR
SEATS
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBRSTK1
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setReportParsingErrors(false);
setPlace(true);
setDisplay(getDataTextStackedTotalOnTop(),true);
END

Yes Tom, Intersil! Thanks
This gave me exactly what I was looking for.

setDisplay(getDataTextStackedTotalOnTop(), true);
