Facet Chart queries

[fairoz172]

Hi,

We are using SmartGWT Pro 3.0 version, I have few queries regarding FacetCharts.

1. Chart is showing alternate background ground having one band of user defined colour and one white colour band. How can we remove that white colour alternate band from facet chart?

2. We are displaying multiple charts on the same page, for few chart yaxis data range is divided into 3 grids and for few graphs it is divided into 4 grid. Graphs are looking very unequal. Is there any way by which we can define the number of grids to be used to divide the yaxis data range OR can we set the data range for the individual grid to be used in the graph?

3. How to show tool-tip in column/bar chart? (like we can show in line chart with points).

4. If no data point is available in chart to display, can we display a message in light grey “No Data Available”.

5. When checked the graph, the values in the upper most row is kind of truncated (last value on +ve Y-axis). How to resolve this

Thanks

1. set bandedBackground:false to avoid this

2. gradations are set based on the range of values in the dataset provided to the chart and cannot currently be manually set

3. 3.1d has recently added features or this (showValueOnHover) etc. In 3.0 you would need to add this feature yourself.

4. You can do so via just not creating a FacetChart in this case and using a Label instead.

5. Please show a screenshot of the problem and explain how it can be reproduced.

1. bandedBackground method is not available in FacetChart, please give the class name which contains this method.

3. Any idea when this new version 3.1 is scheduled for release.

5. Attaching the screen shot, this issue is not consistent, some times it comes sometime it doesn't. Steps to reproduce, create any FacetChart set the data, deploy application on JBoss.

6. If you notice in the graph all the values on X-Axis are vertical, Do we have any option to incline it (same functionality is available in GWT graphs).

1. docs are here

3. Q3

5. Please revisit the FAQ to see what's expected when reporting an issue - we need a way to reproduce the problem

6. No, this is not currently available.

1. The doc which you mentioned is pointing to enterprise edition and we are using pro version, is it available only in enterprise edition?

5. Will provide more details later.

1. No, it's Pro and above.

1. I downloaded the latest Pro version from the below link,
http://www.smartclient.com/builds/SmartGWT/3.0p/Pro/2012-09-11/smartgwtpro-3.0p.zip
But still this method is not there.

5. No error log was found in Dev Console. This error is not consistent, sometimes it comes sometime it doesn't.
Regarding sample code there is nothing special which we are doing, we are creating a simple Facet Charts.

1. This is also in 3.1d. To set it in 3.0, use the skinning system (see the Skinning Overview in the docs)

5. Let us know when you can provide a reproducible case.

5. I gave you all the details have nothing else to give to reproduce this.

This thread has sat for a while.We're not sure if issue #5 is still being a problem for you.

If so, this is a quick follow up to let you know that in order for us to take a look we'll need more information.

The issue you're describing is simply this: When you create some facetChart and deploy, the chart intermittently appears clipped.

This really isn't enough information to go on - there could be numerous reasons why a chart could appear truncated within an application which may be due to surrounding elements on your page, the nature of the chart, the specific browser you're using, etc.

If you'd like us to take a look, please put together a simple standalone test case we can actually run on our end that demonstrates the problem -- an EntryPoint class with code to define and show the facetChart, and then provide detailed steps to reproduce the problem (whether you can reproduce in development mode vs compiled mode), what browser / OS you're seeing the problem in, and steps to actually reproduce the issue within the running test case.
Also if the issue is intermittent for you, give us an idea of how frequently it occurs and what steps you take to re-test (simple reload of the page in the browser, vs something else).

This will ensure we can actually see the problem on our end, or if we can't reproduce it we can then start eliminating additional differences between your setup and ours.
