Hi list, 
 
I'm sorry to bother you again... 
did anyone experienced problems while creating bar charts? 
I have data like this: 
 
name      value 
----------------- 
name1        12 
name2         7 
name3        78 
 
I try putting the names on the x-axis, the values on the y-axis. After  
some formats and clicking OK, eclipse always hangs up. Unfortunately there  
is no message in the logs so I don't have any idea what happens. 
Same data in pie charts or tables work fine. 
Anyone has an idea? 
Thanks in advance, 
Florian

Hi Florian 
 
This is probably a bug caused by some singularity in the data or some  
formatting problem. There are three things you can do: 
- try with different chart types (stacked bar/percent stacked bar/line  
chart/stack line/percent stack), to see if it's related to the type 
- try without any formatting (only databinding) to see if this is due to  
some formatting attribute 
- check your data for any strange value (null, overflow, ...) 
 
Then you can file a defect in bugzilla. But we need a reproducable test case  
to fix it, so if the data is causing the issue, please attach some data (or  
description of data pattern) that allows to reproduce the problem. 
 
Thanks, 
 
David

Hi David, 
 
tried different types of charts, 
didn't format anything, 
checked my values, no strange data, 
used data from the sample database  
 
result --> doesn't work... 
 
installed version 1.0.1M1 --> works... 
 
But now I have problems with the master page, it always tells me something  
about invalid values for margins. They are preset with  
left/top/right/bottom 100,00/1,00/100,00/1,00 in. When I try to change  
them to e.g. 0, I get an error, logged like this: 
 
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 Jul 07, 2005 11:22:40.390 
!MESSAGE For input string: "0,00" 
!STACK 0

	at  
 java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatE xception.java:48) 
	at

	at java.lang.Double.parseDouble(Double.java:220)

	at

	at  
 org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListe ner.java:108) 
 
I still can create charts and everything but they are not displayed  
anymore in the layout view because of this f****** master page, I'm near  
to explode...:-(

Hi Florian, 
 
Which version of Eclipse are you using? 1.0 should work fine with Eclipse  
3.0.1 (double check the install instructions  
 http://www.eclipse.org/birt/index.php?page=build/install.htm l) 
 
Which locale are you in? If you are not in US locale, try starting Eclipse  
with US locale (eclipse.exe -nl en_US), and see if it solves the issue. In  
any case, please file a defect in bugzilla so we can fix it.

Thanks,
