[CLOSED][NFR]Stacked bar graph - displaying series name
I've a request from a user that has me stumped. I've searched Focal Point and the Perspective for Java Programmer's Manual.

I've a stacked bar graph with dates on the x axis and the data values on the y axis. The stacked bars represent new products released for the date, the color of the bar segments are one of two colors depending on if the released date was made on schedule or late. Hence the legend colors don't coordinate with the segment colors. The user has asked me to display the SERIES Name (not the data value ) on each bar segment. Excel can do this, but I can't make WebFOCUS do this.

I've tried the setGroupLabelArray after reading a post on Focal Point, but I don't get any change in the graph. The setSeriesLabelArray changes the value of the label on the x axis, not what I'm wanting either.

Anyone have a thought on how to make this happen?

Hi all,

FYI, Laure has a case opened for this issue and it looks like this will be a New Feature Request.

Cheers,

Kerry

Laure,

That's an issue with bars as opposed to pies.
With pies you have the option to display the label, label/data value Label/% data value or %.

Has to be an NFR.
Poor thought from the guys at 3d Graphics and subsequently IB who I believe
own the rights to the source.

Thing is though what you can do in WebFOCUS is still far better than most competitors
As they mostly have a basic license agreement.

I wondered why it could be done on pies but not bars. Thanks. I'll submit the NFR.
