Percentage in Legend

pmathieu

Hello All,

In Crystal Reports, it's common to display the percentage value in the legend next to the Label. Is this possible in BIRT (v 4.2.2)?

From the chart UI under format chart > value series. Select show series labels. Then remove category data then add Percentile Value Data. Uncheck visible for the leader lines. Then you can add the percentage data to the legend like this.<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>var percentage = new java.util.ArrayList();
var i = 0;
var j = 0;

function beforeDrawDataPointLabel( dph, label, icsc )
{
percentage.add(label.getCaption().getValue());
label.getCaption().setValue("");
i++;
}

function beforeDrawLegendItem( lerh, bounds, icsc )
{
var legendLabel = lerh.getLabel().getCaption().getValue();
legendLabel = legendLabel + percentage.get(j);
lerh.getLabel().getCaption().setValue(legendLabel);
j++;
}
</pre>
