[CLOSED] Does this Graph type exist in DevStudio 7703
Management is looking for one of two types of graphs. They would like either a thermometor or gauge type graph. It would portray, say actual units vs budget for a year. Budget would be in the background and actual (the thermonetor reading or gauge would superimpose the actual. I guess somewhere in the graph you would outline what constitues Red/yellow/green (gauge) or the thermometor reading color.
I have seen these graphs elsewhere but could not find them in the BI tool. I could not even find a simple single bar graph that I could get to emulate this. Thoughts...This message has been edited. Last edited by: <Kathryn Henning>,

Robert, are you using Advanced Graph Assistant? I think the gauge shows right up when you open Advanced Graph Assistant. I don't think there is a thermometer available.

To follow up: I checked in Advanced Graph Assistant and both the thermometer and gauge are available. When you click on the 'Chart type' tab and then click the button most right labeled 'Special' you will be able to select them.

Yes, I see the thermometor gauge...but it does not behave as they request...so far as I can see anyway. It looks like it plots a single piece of data. Ex: Actual amount or Ex: Budget Amount. What they want is a thermometor that plots Actual *over* Budget where you can control the color to be red/yellow/green depending on how high the actual amount is in relation to budget.
Anyone ever tried something like this?

OK I see what you're looking for. When you look at the thermometer's description it says: 'it will show the value of a single data point'. However, maybe you can try to realize '2 axis' in the coding:
For a dual-axis bar graph the assistant generates:
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR2AX
so you can try to replace VBAR with the thermometer maybe.
and also
setAxisAssignment(getSeries(2),1);
Hopefully this will help you,

Use the gauge ( although horrible graphic ).
In Webfocus you can add two ( or ) more dails to the same gauge.
i.e. Actual and Budget.
( any other graphic, expect pies, could visualize it better... ...but hey. )
