Chart legend on right

[pratik.thaker]

Hi,

Since few days I am using SmartGWT 3.1 evaluation version downloaded from http://www.smartclient.com/product/downloadOtherReleases.jsp

I am evaluating charts.

My questions are,

1. Right now legends shows at the bottom of the chart, can I move it to the right / left side, so that my chart get some extra vertical space ?
2. I want to show the value when I mouse over some section on chart, and want to hide it when I am not on that section. It is not happening right now, the value keeps showing if i am there on different chart are like legend or axis.

Can you please answer my questions asap ?

I want to buy the SmartGWT PRO version but before that I want solutions about some charting questions.

1. there's currently no way to place the legend on the right instead of bottom. Generally, since users are more familiar with vertical rather than horizontal scrolling, it makes sense to use more vertical than horizontal space.

However if this is critical for you, you could always use Feature Sponsorship to have a feature added enabling the legend to be placed differently, or set showLegend:false and draw your own.

2. we're not sure whether you're talking about showValueOnHover, your own hovers or what, but here is a sample of implementing a custom hover.

Showing legends vertically rather than horizontally is very basic requirement and I don't see any point if we should buy it. All the major charting libraries have that.


There are problems with setValueOnHover. One I was reported in
http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=26854

The another one is at http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwtee/showcase/#chartCustomHovers

What should I do if I want the value to be shown only when I am on particular section of chart, and not when I am entering the total layout where chart is being displayed

Please correct me if I am wrong.

This appears to be a minority opinion.

We've explained your options already.

There are problems with setValueOnHover.

Presumably you meant showValueOnHover.

We don't currently have any valid, reproducible bug reports against this feature (the forums explains what a valid bug report would look like). Feel free to submit one if you think there is an issue with this feature.

Test Code to reproduce the bug

This appears to be a minority opinion.

Product should be flexible enough to serve the purpose of client.

Have you visited the thread link which I posted ?

In the above link I have mentioned the test code,

It is there on the showcase, you just need to put chart.setShowValueOnHover(true);

I have also attached the screenshot of the bug.

I also mentioned the SmartGWT version and browser version.

Please tell me if these information is not enough to reproduce the bug.

Again, please visit the thread link.

It would have been enough information to reproduce the bug, but it does not reproduce the bug.

It appears to be either a problem on your end, or something fixed a long time ago.
