The following code works fine when called once; but if called more than
once the chart blanks out. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

public void addData(String label, ColorDefinition color, ChartWithAxes
chart, NumberDataSet xv, NumberDataSet yv) {

Axis xa = chart.getPrimaryBaseAxes()[0];
Axis ya = chart.getPrimaryOrthogonalAxis(xa);

Series series = SeriesImpl.create();
series.setDataSet(xv);
SeriesDefinition xd = SeriesDefinitionImpl.create();
xa.getSeriesDefinitions().add(xd);
xd.getSeries().add(series);

ScatterSeries ss = (ScatterSeries) ScatterSeriesImpl.create();
ss.setSeriesIdentifier(label);
ss.setDataSet(yv);
SeriesDefinition yd = SeriesDefinitionImpl.create();
ya.getSeriesDefinitions().add(yd);
yd.getSeriesPalette().update(color);
yd.getSeries().add(ss);
}

Just discovered that I can add multiple data sets -- provided they all
have the same size! What's causing this constraint?

Also, I was wondering if there was a way to get error messages out of
BIRT, rather than just blank charts whenever there is an issue?

My bad, was swallowing the exceptions:

org.eclipse.birt.chart.exception.ChartException: Mismatch (96!=192) in
dataset count found in stacked runtime series
at org.eclipse.birt.chart.factory.Generator.build(Generator.jav a:998)
...

So BIRT really can't draw more than one series in a scatterplot unless all
series have the same number of points?!

Testing if padding the NumberDataSets with Double.NaN is a workaround...

Noticed that if more than one x/y series are added, all but the first are
misplaced along the x axis; what's the correct way to add more than one
x/y series?

Seems to work!

Looks like I'm the first to try to use more than one x/y series in a BIRT
scatter plot? :-(

Eric,

Can you log a bug for this? Also all series do have to have the same
number of points, but you should be able to pad datasets in the after
dataset filled script to meet this goal.

For the record:

Figured out that the proper way to have multiple x/y series in a scatter
chart (and other types of charts) is to create a single x/y series and
call setSorting + setQuery on the y SeriesDefinition to separate the data
points into distinct groups. This approach is cleaner, and avoids the
multiple-x/y-series flakiness.

Hi Eric,

I know this was some time ago but I just found this on a search of the
newsgroup as this is exactly what I am attempting. Do you a have an
example of the solution you are able to share?

Thanks for your help,

Nigel

Nigel,

I do not think he did it with more than one data set. I think he just
grouped his data.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for getting back to me. Is what I am asking possible using Birt?
I'm trying to replicate something I have done in Excel so far.

Best regards,

Nigel
