StackRange.setGroupField(value)

Determines the scale range from the stacked values of largest single group, based on the specified grouping field.

Parameter

value
 the field name, a String

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

importPackage(inetsoft.graph)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.data)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.element)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.coord)

var arr = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ",200], ["NJ",100],
           ["NY",400],["NY",300]];
dataset = new DefaultDataSet(arr);
graph = new EGraph();
var qscale = new LinearScale("Quantity");
var elem = new PointElement("State", "Quantity")
range = new StackRange();
range.setGroupField("State"); // max of 200+100, 400+300
qscale.setScaleRange(range);
graph.setScale("Quantity", qscale);
graph.addElement(elem);

StackRange.setStackNegative(boolean)

Specifies whether the negative scale range is determine by independently stacking the negative values (default), or whether stacking is not applied to negative values in computing the range.

Parameter

Boolean
 true: stack negative values to get range
 false: do not stack negative values

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

importPackage(inetsoft.graph)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.data)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.element)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.coord)

var arr = [["State", "Quantity"],
           ["NJ",200],["NJ",100],["NY",-300],["NY",-400]];
dataset = new DefaultDataSet(arr);
graph = new EGraph();
var qscale = new LinearScale("Quantity");
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity")
range = new StackRange();
range.setStackNegative(false);
qscale.setScaleRange(range);
graph.setScale("Quantity", qscale);
graph.addElement(elem);

LinearRange

The LinearRange object computes the range by using the minimum and maximum data values. To create a LinearRange object, call the LinearRange constructor.

var range = new LinearRange();

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

importPackage(inetsoft.graph)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.data)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.element)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.coord)

var arr = [["State", "Quantity"],["NJ",-200],["NY",300]];
dataset = new DefaultDataSet(arr);
graph = new EGraph();
var qscale = new LinearScale("Quantity");
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity")
range = new LinearRange();
qscale.setScaleRange(range);
graph.setScale("Quantity", qscale);
graph.addElement(elem);

Chart Aesthetics

This section discusses the VisualFrame objects that can be added to chart elements to introduce visual style. VisualFrame objects allow you to represent additional data dimensions by using the physical attributes of chart elements, or to apply a fixed (static) visual style.

Read what InetSoft customers and partners have said about their selection of Style Report as their production reporting tool.

VisualFrame

The VisualFrame object contains common properties for all aesthetic frames.

VisualFrame.setField(field)

Specifies the field (column) associated with this frame.

Parameter

field
 name of the column (String)

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

importPackage(inetsoft.graph)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.data)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.element)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.coord)

var arr = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ",200], ["NY",300]];
dataset = new DefaultDataSet(arr);
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var frame = new BrightnessColorFrame();
frame.setField("Quantity");
frame.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
elem.setColorFrame(frame);
graph.addElement(elem);

VisualFrame.setLegendSpec(spec)

Specifies the formatting for the legend generated for the scale.

Parameter

spec
 a LegendSpec object

You can pass the names of the fields (e.g., 'Date') for which the scale should be generated to the constructor, or specify these later using the inherited Scale.setFields(field) property.

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

importPackage(inetsoft.graph)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.data)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.element)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.coord)

var arr = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ",200], ["NY",300]];
dataset = new DefaultDataSet(arr);
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new PointElement("State", "Quantity");
var frame = new LinearSizeFrame();
var spec = new LegendSpec();
spec.setBorderColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
frame.setField("Quantity");
frame.setLegendSpec(spec);
elem.setSizeFrame(frame);
graph.addElement(elem);

VisualFrame.setScale(scale)

Specifies the scale associated with this frame.

Parameter

scale
 a Scale object

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

importPackage(inetsoft.graph)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.data)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.element)
