Conditional rendering of line charts

pratim

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am using BIRT 2.3.2 version. I have 2 different layouts of line charts [each having 4 line charts]. On a certain condition i want to display one report layout at a time.<br />
To achieve this, i used the visibility property and set it to true when certain condition is met.<br />
<br />
But hiding the chart does not solve my purpose, as in the background it's rendering the chart but not displaying. Because of which my report is taking too much time for rendering.<br />
[i just plot the time taken for generation and rendering in a log file]<br />
<br />
What i want is to reduce the rendering time for the report. If i removed the 4 charts, then my rendering time reduces by 50%.<br />
<br />
Can any one help me out to resolve this?

Name your charts in the general tab of the property editor, then depending on which layout you want to show, I'm assuming you'd decide this by a parameter, you'd drop the appropriate charts from the design. Here is how you'd find a chart by name and drop it.

(beforeFactory script)
reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesign().findElement("myChart").drop();
