Graphs of Control in BIRT

unknown

Hello,

I'm starting with Birt and I wonder if it is possible to do graphs of control.

Attached a sample image.

Hi jnovat,

Are you just talking about graphing the marker lines for the upper and lower limit?

Hello Michael,

In fact, I refer to the possibility of plotting lines representing the superior and lower limits, also the average.

I think that, if possible to plot these lines, the way is the same for all three cases, but when I use the wizard to create the report did not see any option to select the chart type appropriate or the options that should add / modify.

Thanks.

If you knew the values, you could go to the chart editor, then to the format chart tab, then to the y-axis section, then click on the "markers" button at the bottom and add marker lines for these 3 values. If the values must be figured, you could figure them outside the chart, then add the marker lines dynamically similar to how it's done in this devShare post.<br />

Hello Michael, thank you very much for the information.

I reviewed the example that you provided me and others like it, I see the power of BIRT is more on what we can do with scripts that what we can do with the wizard.

Then it's important to know in detail the structure of the file ".rptdesign" and meaning of each of its parts.

Therefore, I have others consultations in order to deepen in BIRT as tool to reports:

1º Where I can find more information about the structure of a file ".rptdesign" and the meaning of its parts?

2º What should review in order to build reports in 3D as the example you gave me?

Thanks.

jnovat,

The .rptdesign file is essentially an XML file. You can see the source to see the structure by looking at the XML Source tab under the design window.

What do you mean by question number 2?

Hello Michael,

On question 1: Yes I have seen that the ".rptdesign" is an XML but my question was for some resource (tutorial, web, pdf, etc) that explain their characteristics, for example a WSLD is also a XML but with features own (wsdl:message, wsdl:portType, wsdl:operation, wsdl:service, etc). when developing web services need to know these details, I imagine it must be equal for the case of reporting with BIRT and the ".rptdesign".

For Question 2: This relates to the previous, I was referring to what parts of the file ". rptdesign" I must know to generate a report, in terms of style, like the attached image. But I've imported the file into the eclipse and I already can do a similar report, so that this question would already be resolved.

Thanks.
