RE: [flexcoders] Waterfall chart
Hi Tom. The best way to do this is to pre-process your dataprovider into a synthetic one that has all of the summed values in it. Use that as the dataprovider for the chart, and set the various min/max fields of the series appropriately. Ely. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Fitzpatrick Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 6:35 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Waterfall chart Importance: High I'd like to make a "waterfall" chart (at least that's one name for it) - a version of the stacked bar chart. The first column is the total of three values. The next three columns represent the three separate values that make up the total, but instead of stacking they "float" next to each other at the appropriate height and with the appropriate color and tooltip info. My question is - can the values in the ColumnSeries be determined using a function - kind of like a labelFunction for charts? This would enable me to calculate the value for the "total" column and the starting and ending values for the three floating columns. Or is there an easier/better way to accomplish this? - Tom Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] Waterfall chart
Thanks, Ely. Can you point to or provide a simple example of dataprovider preprocessing? If my data structure is as follows: ... I can see that I need to perform some math on the "result" nodes to create the new dataProvider: - add a node that is the sum of the "apple" "orange" and "banana" values - set the minValue for "orange" as the yValue of "apple', and set the yValue of "orange" as "apple" plus "orange" - set the minValue for "banana" as the yValue of "orange" and set the yValue of "banana" the same as "total" The "generating chart data" example in the docs seems close, but it's based on random values rather than manipulating a real xml source. Another question while I'm at it: is it possible to change the spacing for just one of four columns in a cluster? I'd like to "total" column to be separated from the "waterfall" by a space. - Tom At 01:00 PM 10/5/2005, you wrote: >Hi Tom.

Sure Tom. You've got the basics in your outline below. Basically, you
want something like:
Function genDP(original:Array):Array
{
var result:Array = [];

Thanks, Ely. Can you point to or provide a simple example of
dataprovider preprocessing?
If my data structure is as follows:
...
I can see that I need to perform some math on the "result" nodes to
create the new dataProvider:
- add a node that is the sum of the "apple" "orange" and
"banana" values
- set the minValue for "orange" as the yValue of "apple', and set the
yValue of "orange" as "apple" plus "orange"
- set the minValue for "banana" as the yValue of "orange" and set the
yValue of "banana" the same as "total"
The "generating chart data" example in the docs seems close, but it's
based on random values rather than manipulating a real xml source.
Another question while I'm at it: is it possible to change the spacing
for just one of four columns in a cluster? I'd like to "total" column to
be separated from the "waterfall" by a space.

RE: [flexcoders] Waterfall chart
Ely - thanks. I had already come up with a somewhat less efficient
solution, so this helps.
The Cartesian tip was helpful also - though the offset settings are a bit
cryptic at first.
