Re: [flexcoders] Charting Line Segments
Which LineSeries is affected? Have you isolated the line series on its own (don't add/load the others) and does it still occur? Have you tried creating a sub class from LineSeries and overriding the appropriate functions inside of it to try and trace out how each segment is loading?

Re: [flexcoders] Charting Line Segments
Hmmm... at runtime, have you inspected getAllDataPoints? Does the first (or last) line segment simply not show up? Does the hit data point still trigger if you mouse over the approximate area where it should be rendering?

Re: [flexcoders] Charting Line Segments
I can't override getAllDataPoints. I see that in Flex 3 but not 2. I assume that changed. When I isolated that series, I saw everything which made me search the data a bit more and there is a date/time generated by the server for the datevalue... The date was the same but the time was different for the last data point of this series only. This caused the category to be different and the point didn't show up. I missed it when looking over the thousands of data points. Stupid error, but thanks for the debugging tip. It's fixed now. -Jake On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 3:53 PM, Brendan Meutzner bmeutz...@gmail.comwrote: Hmmm... at runtime, have you inspected getAllDataPoints?

Subject: [flexcoders] Charting questions
Hey peepsJust looking for some help with some charting related tasks.
- Can you rotate the axis labels on a LineChart? All the examples i have
used seem to work fine on BarChart but not on LineChart
- Consider the following...
mx:horizontalAxis
mx:DateTimeAxis dataUnits=days
interval=1
title=Date
displayLocalTime=true
parseFunction=parseDate
id=monthLabels /
/mx:horizontalAxis
Is it possible to specify the number of axis points and labels? Using the
DateTimeAxis is seems to just try and work out where to plot them but i want
to specify at what intervals to put markers.
- Is it possible to get the color value of a chart line or legend marker? I
want to use the colors for something else and need them to match (other than
specifying my own colors).
Thanks for any help you can give..
Steve

Re: [flexcoders] Charting dataFunction issues
Can you try removing some of those series to isolate the problem?
Also, can we see the console output from the trace statements in
seriesDataFunction?
Maybe the values are out of bounds? Some sample data would be useful
too if that's possible.
2009/6/12 Jake Churchill j...@cfwebtools.com:
Charting people, please help!
I’m using examples right out of Adobe’s guides and several other guides I’ve
found online on how to use a series dataFunction. The issue is that when I
try to use the dataFunction, I get nothing. The Series doesn’t display at
all. When I go back to using yField, everything is fine. Below is the MXML
for the chart and series. The dataprovider is an ArrayCollection of VO’s
with the following properties:
public var ceiling:Number;
public var costOfProd:Number;
public var cropProfileID:Number;
public var floor:Number;
public var historyDt:Date;
public var insGuarantee:Number;
public var revenue:Number;
Here is the dataFunction that I’m using (straight out of an example from
http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2008/08/charting-example.html) which I changed
to work with my data:
public function seriesDataFunction( series:Series,
item:UserRevenueHistoryVO, fieldName:String ):Object
{
var returnValue:Object = null;
switch( fieldName )
{
case xValue:
returnValue =
item.historyDt;
break;
case yValue:
returnValue = 25;
break;
case minValue:
returnValue = item.ceiling;
break;
}
trace(fieldName + + returnValue);
return returnValue;
}
Finally, here’s the chart code. The Line Series work fine because I’m using
yField. If I switch the AreaSeries to yField instead of dataFunction, they
work as well but I need to do some work with the ceiling data in this case.
mx:CartesianChart

RE: [flexcoders] Charting dataFunction issues
Sorry, I meant to follow up on this yesterday. Thanks for your reply but I
figured it out. I had the wrong type of horizontal axis applied so when I
was returning an xField value it was actually drawing the chart off to the
right somewhere.

To complicate matters the graphs are are presented on a dashboard where the user can display many graphs at once - so we are not just displaying the one graph and the size of the graph will change depending on how many graphs are being displayed in the dashboard window. We are logging sensor data (temperature, current, vibration, humidity, wind speed etc). Client does not like a month, week, day, hour, minute drill down scenario - I tried that and it was rejected. He wants a line graph, but where we do have to average data would like to some idea of max and mins - maybe that can be done in point comment. Trouble is if we chart so many points then there are too many points for the mouse click to discern. Essentially the client would like to see the data always at maximum detail no matter what period is being looked at. I have read this http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice?entry=visualizing_large _data_sets, and am thinking that I will need to proceed in kind and to use an Image object and set BitmapData pixels directly - depending on how I decide to reimplement this thing. Of course I am limited by the number of pixels available along the x-axis for a given chart size. This is complicated as the client would like to zoom on the graph and also look at time slices. The client would also like to be able to see exceptions clearly on the graph - for example if there was a vibration spike. Also sometimes the sensor might not be operational so we need to see those breaks in the graph when no data was captured. All in all I am finding this a complicated requirement to unravel, as some of the requirements seem to be nonsensical - eg having a zoom - when the client always wants to see maximum detail??? So, I need to work out a design for this which will best meet the clients requirement and which flex can handle. Any comments and ideas are appreciated. I am working on this presently, so as I come up with ideas on how to proceed I will post them here. Cheers Mark
RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year
Hi Maciek, Thanks for your response. Yes I have seen that example and I liked it. We still need to contend, though, with having 500,000 values to plot for the full graph. Using standard graphing that takes for ever to plot - in fact I could not get it to plot. 2000 values seems to the maximum number of points that can be plotted, or to be exact the number of pixels available on x-axis. So how can I take 500,000 points and : 1. Producre a graph that as closely as possible retains its shape? 2. Shows exceptional values If I were to massage the 500,000 points by taking sample of 250 points and averaging them, then I can miss important detail. I could use a vertical column graph with floating columns, where I plotted the line starting at min and ending at max for the plot point. Furthermore as the user used the slider to look at a smaller portion of the graph I would still want to plot at maximum pixel detail. That is if the user uses the slider to look at 1 month then that would allow me to plot points where each point was calculated from a smaller sample size.

All in all I am finding this a complicated requirement to unravel, as some of the requirements seem to be nonsensical - eg having a zoom - when the client always wants to see maximum detail??? So, I need to work out a design for this which will best meet the clients requirement and which flex can handle. Any comments and ideas are appreciated. I am working on this presently, so as I come up with ideas on how to proceed I will post them here. Cheers Mark
RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year
How about, on the main graph, showing the raw data as limited by the slider, but on the slider, show points that average over some period of time, combined with a separate series for outlying points (those outside 1 or 2 standard deviations from the mean)? This gives you an overview of the general trends, a quick indication of outliers, and an ability to zoom in on any single section fairly easily. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: Mark Easton mar...@azurebell.co.nz Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:16:16 +1300 Hi Maciek, Thanks for your response.

Re: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year
What if you aggregate your data by some amount (say the maximum resolution you can display on the x-axis), and then for each data point you plot the min, max, and average, kind of like the HLOCChart that's used to show stock data. That would let you see the average trend as well as identify any peaks or valleys that were out of the ordinary. So then the task involves being able to efficiently take 500,000 points and turn it into 2,000 aggregated points with min/max/avg. Or even just do 3 completely separate line series for the min, max, and avg. There's only so much information you can show in a single horizontal pixel, so there's simply no way to show all the data. But showing min/max/avg might get you the info you need.

RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year
I like the idea of the separate series for the outlying points. With respect to the main graph showing raw data ...I am not sure that would be acceptable to the client. Depending on the range selected by the slider the main graph would still be limited by available x-axis pixels in terms of what it can display. At one extreme the user could user the slider to select the whole graph - that dataset is 500,000 points. We could limit the slider to the detail that can be displayed in the main graph. But that means that only a small slice can be viewed at any one time, and the added user problem of having to move two sliders to keep the slice small. I think if we went this way then when the slider is resposition I would need to look at the data population size for that and base on available x-axis pixels produce a new dataset to display the top graph. But I believe this would make the slider, slow and difficult to use, unless I allowed the sliders to be positioned and then the user clicked some button to generate the new graph. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com]on Behalf Of Maciek Sakrejda Sent: Friday, 30 January 2009 12:27 p.m. To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year How about, on the main graph, showing the raw data as limited by the slider, but on the slider, show points that average over some period of time, combined with a separate series for outlying points (those outside 1 or 2 standard deviations from the mean)?

RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year
Thanks Doug, Yes I have been thinking (the last hour) of using such a representation or alternatively of plotting a graph of floating columns, with each column starting at min and ending at max, combined with a line graph in a different colour showing the averages. BUT (and this is a big but) the client said he was not interested in min and max, but rather exceptional values. Although I have to take his requirements with a grain of salt sometimes it does pay to listen to him - he is the client! :) The exceptions may be a single solitary value or a series of values. So, if I were to grab the points that within each sample are 1 or 2 std deviations outside the normal then I wont always have these points - so they may just be the odd value. Hence using floating columns to display these seems to make sense.

RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year
Definitely will do Doug. Its going to test my flex skills, but I hope to have done it by the end of next week. It is complicated in that we have a dashboard that allows the users to see many graphs for all the different sensors, contact inputs and actuators at the same time - and move them in to display groups (each display group has its own tab). I am taking the approach that these display group graphs will all be displayed for the last 24 hours or the last hour (switchable by the user). Then if the user wants to do further analysis he/she can select the graph to analyse it further and we will do that in a full size window. That is where we will apply what is discussed below. Graphing actuators and contact inputs is also interesting as they only have three values - Nan, 0 and 1. I will used a stepped line for those, but will still need to be massaging data depending on the sample size required to fit the data into the available x-axis pixels. In this case the client does not want the sampling to miss any state change activity. Obviously we cant average the sample data, so for this I am thinking I will plot the sample entry point and exit point. Then, in another series I will also plot the number of state changes in the sample. Then the user can slice using the slider to look at parts of the graph in more detail and thus be able to see exactly what the activity was.

Then if the user wants to do further analysis he/she can select the graph to analyse it further and we will do that in a full size window. That is where we will apply what is discussed below. Graphing actuators and contact inputs is also interesting as they only have three values - Nan, 0 and 1. I will used a stepped line for those, but will still need to be massaging data depending on the sample size required to fit the data into the available x-axis pixels. In this case the client does not want the sampling to miss any state change activity. Obviously we cant average the sample data, so for this I am thinking I will plot the sample entry point and exit point. Then, in another series I will also plot the number of state changes in the sample. Then the user can slice using the slider to look at parts of the graph in more detail and thus be able to see exactly what the activity was.

Thanks Doug, Yes I have been thinking (the last hour) of using such a representation or alternatively of plotting a graph of floating columns, with each column starting at min and ending at max, combined with a line graph in a different colour showing the averages. BUT (and this is a big but) the client said he was not interested in min and max, but rather exceptional values. Although I have to take his requirements with a grain of salt sometimes it does pay to listen to him - he is the client! :) The exceptions may be a single solitary value or a series of values. So, if I were to grab the points that within each sample are 1 or 2 std deviations outside the normal then I wont always have these points - so they may just be the odd value. Hence using floating columns to display these seems to make sense.

RE: [flexcoders] Charting - setting yField property for a PlotSeries when dataProvider is XML
I'm not sure how you're going to stipulate a yField that doesn't exist
in the dataprovider.
If you have control over the XML format, add the additional attribute to
each datapoint item.
If you don't, then you'll need to take what you're given and add the
yVal attribute to each item.

Re: [flexcoders] Charting: adjust y-axis range automatically when changing x-axis range
I've not done exactly what you need before, but something similar by creating a subclass of LinearAxis and overriding the dataChanged method (IIRC, may possibly be update) and using this class as the vertical axis. In the override you can get hold of the DataDescription object of your data from the dataDescriptions array. This tells you the min and max values of the data, and you can then use them to set the maximum and minimum properties of the axis. The only worry is that the data descriptions may report the min and max of the whole data series in your scenario, in which case you may have to pass the date range into your axis class and dig through the data yourself :( HTH.

Re: [flexcoders] Charting Wildly Varying Numbers in Flex
Adam Simon,
Adam, thanks for the kind words about the site -- it's been a lot of work.
Hopefully it'll do some good if a hurricane approaches us.
As to your table idea, we may end up going that route. Last year we had a list
of dollar values broken down by type (not quite as you suggested, but similar).
The issue was that it was overwhelming to users. I suspect taking Simon's
advice and rounding the numbers (You're right Simon, it is just spitting those
numbers out of a calculation, and there is certainly a margin of error) may
alleviate this issue. We were just hoping to do something graphical with the
data this time around.
The biggest problem I have with doing a pie chart is that some of the slices
end up very, very tiny due to the huge difference in the Residential and
other values.
Also, the I'm reticent to remove the Total information (or hide it) because
we'd love to provide a quick picture of what is actually at risk. Ideally it
would be a percentage, but as mentioned above, those slices get very tiny.
Thanks for both of your thoughts on the matter, I have a lot of thinking to do
(and a lot of smarter people than I looking at the problem), so hopefully we'll
come up with something graceful.

I have just joined the group as I've got stuck on this Flex charting problem. I need to plot a line that ends with a wedge shaped area - looking like a broom on its side, brush to the right, and then plot some dashed lines across the same chart. The minField property doesnt seem to work on a DateTimeAxis (requires a category) so that was no good. Using a stacked area chart did work and by setting the series I wanted to appear as a just a line with an area but no fill and then setting the y axis minimum to 0 so the line didnt plot from the last non zero data point to the x axis worked OK (its an interesting feature that lines are only rendered when both ends are within the xy ordinates of the axes). But then when I tried to add a non stacked line the compiler could not resolve the stacked and unstacked series together. I tried defining them as a secondseries group tag on a 2y axis as well. No joy. On looking into stacking classes these are all topped with warnings that they are not for normal use. Anyone got a good idea on how to get my lines plotting unstacked but over the top of some stacked areas? Thanks Mike

RE: [flexcoders] Charting Questions
To draw into the data area of the chart, you'll need to wite a custom chart element. See my numerous posts on the subject to this list, or some of the examples at http://www.quietlyscheming.com/ For the region of the chart...By default, a chart takes the space given to it by its parent, subtracts out the space needed for the optimal layout and size for the axis labels, and uses the remaining space for the data area. If you're seeing fluctuations in the space used by the data, it's most likely due to fluctuations in the range of your data...i.e., if it starts at 0-80, then goes to 0-120, it's going to take a little more space for the extra digit on the labels. The area used by the axes is called the 'gutter' in chart terminology. While the chart calculates these on its own by default, you can assign explicit values for some or all of the chart gutters. When you do that, the chart will do its best to fit the labels in the gutter sizes specified. Specify all four gutter size, and you've effectively locked in a size for the data area (given a fixed size for the whole chart). So checkout the gutterLeft, gutterTop, etc. styles. Ely.

Re: [flexcoders] charting trial banner
Related question: I bought FB with charting, and developing using fb I don't get the banner. And I know that if you compile flex on the fly on CF you are supposed to get the banner. But what about the people who don't want to use FB and want to generate code from CF, and have bought charting? Is there no way to rid yourself of the banner then? I haven't seen anything on entering the serial number at the server level. just wondering...

Subject: [flexcoders] Charting Components w/in Repeater
Importance: High
I am unable to get the Charting Component to Work within a Repeater.
Here is what I am doing:
--
1) The information being returned from Coldfusion is returned as a
struct Result (object #2)
.AUTHORCOUNT: 13
.RATEDCOUNT: 1
.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK (object #3)
...[0] (object #4)
...DELIVERY: 5
...PAYMENT: 2
...QUALITY: 4
...R_ID: 14337
...[1] (object #6)
...DELIVERY: 3
...PAYMENT: 0
...QUALITY: 4
...R_ID: 2732
--
2) I take this struct/object and convert it to an array of named
objects:
arrChart = [];
for ( var i in event.result.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK ){
arrChart.push(
{delivery:event.result.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK[i].DELIVERY
,
payment:event.result.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK[i].PAYMENT
,
quality:event.result.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK[i].QUALITY} ); }
--
3) Then, I populate the repeater's forms within the repeater:
view.rptRatings.dataProvider = event.result.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK;
--
4) When the repeater fires each (creationComplete event), I pass the
repeater's index to a function that attempts to set the current chart
being created with the object (delivery, payment, quality) in the X
position of the array initalized earlier.
public function setChart ( index : Number ) : Void {
var i = index
view.rptRatings[i].idChart.dataProvider = arrChart[i];
// is is showing the right index.
// arrChart[i].delivery is showing the right value }
--
5) Then, I rub Buddah's belly and attempt to create the chart, but
nothing happens.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

/mx:Array

/mx:VBox
--
My only thoughts as to possible problems would center on:
a) the categoryField has no object (strings or array of objects) being
assigned to it.
b) I am failing to reference the dataProvider(s) correctly. The
categoryAxis throws an error when compiled if I assign it an ID, so I
see no way to reference it programatically.
Any assistance is welcome.

RE: [flexcoders] Charting Components w/in Repeater
OK, here's what I see from your code. Your vertical Axis is a
CategoryAxis, with a categoryField but no dataProvider. That means it
has no source for its categories, and thus won't show any categories.
Which means your BarSeries won't show any bars, because there's no
categories to map the bars too.
Can you describe in a little more details what you want the final chart
to look like?
Ely.

Re: [flexcoders] Charting Components w/in Repeater
Hi Ely,
The final bar chart should be a comparison of a customer's Ratings.
Customers are rated 1-5. 1 being poor. 5 being the best.
So the chart should be something like:
x: RATING FOR CATEGORY (delivery, quality, payment)
y: RATING BY VALUE (1-5)
Since I am using a repeater, I am clueless about how to access the
dataProvider of the CatagoryAxis as well as the dataProivder of the
chart. I can see how I would communiate with the chart, but not the
axis.

RE: [flexcoders] Charting Components w/in Repeater
Hmmm...based on that description...
1) if your horizontal axis is the category, and your vertical axis is
the value, It sounds like you want vertical bars, not horizontal ones. I
imagine you want a ColumnChart, not a BarChart.
2) To access an axis (hehe), you would do something like:
view.idChart[event.target.instanceIndex].horizontalAxis.dataProvider =
;

I am unable to get the Charting Component to Work within a Repeater.
Here is what I am doing:
--
--
--
1) The information being returned from Coldfusion is returned as a
struct Result (object #2)
.AUTHORCOUNT: 13
.RATEDCOUNT: 1
.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK (object #3)
...[0] (object #4)
...DELIVERY: 5
...PAYMENT: 2
...QUALITY: 4
...R_ID: 14337
...[1] (object #6)
...DELIVERY: 3
...PAYMENT: 0
...QUALITY: 4
...R_ID: 2732
--
--
--
2) I take this struct/object and convert it to an array of named
objects:
arrChart = [];
for ( var i in event.result.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK ){
arrChart.push(
{delivery:event.result.GETRATINGSFEEDBACK[i].DELIVERY
Re: [flexcoders] Charting Components w/in Repeater
Should I reference the DataProvider of the:
CategoryAxis
or
verticalAxis/HorizontalAxis
On 8/29/05, Ely Greenfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hmmm...based on that description...
1) if your horizontal axis is the category, and your vertical axis is
the value, It sounds like you want vertical bars, not horizontal ones. I
imagine you want a ColumnChart, not a BarChart.
2) To access an axis (hehe), you would do something like:
view.idChart[event.target.instanceIndex].horizontalAxis.dataProvider =
;

Hi Ely,
The final bar chart should be a comparison of a customer's Ratings.
Customers are rated 1-5. 1 being poor. 5 being the best.
So the chart should be something like:
x: RATING FOR CATEGORY (delivery, quality, payment)
y: RATING BY VALUE (1-5)
Since I am using a repeater, I am clueless about how to access the
dataProvider of the CatagoryAxis as well as the dataProivder of the
chart. I can see how I would communiate with the chart, but not the
axis.
On 8/29/05, Ely Greenfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
OK, here's what I see from your code. Your vertical Axis is a
CategoryAxis, with a categoryField but no dataProvider. That means
it
has no source for its categories, and thus won't show any categories.
Which means your BarSeries won't show any bars, because there's no
categories to map the bars too.
Can you describe in a little more details what you want the final
chart to look like?
Ely.

Hi Ely,
I made some progress talking to the chart. It now shows a range up to
number 2, so now I know I can work with it:
But it still doesn't populate.
Here are my code changes:

RE: [flexcoders] Charting
What if you concatenated the quarter arrays together and then did something like xField: year yField: revenue and then your categoryField can be quarter? Sorry, not a chart expert here.
