Change the maximum value for y axis [message #1383997]

Greetings,

I have tried it for some time now but I am stuck.

Problem description
The maximum value for the y-axis is one plus the maximum value of the data displayed. I need the maximum value for the y-axis to be equal to the maximum value of the data displayed.

Reason behind the problem
I need to display a graph showing a bar chart with testcase statuses and display a line chart showing the expected progress to the same graph.
I have solved this by using second y-axis, but since the maximum values for those two charts are different, the place they occupy on the graph is different as well and they are on a different scale to each other. See the enclosed picture, I need the bars to end in the same height as the line chart.

There is no picture attached, but I think I get what you're saying. This can be fixed with script. You can grab the max value of your different series in the afterDataSetFilled function and then set the max values of the axes in, I believe, the beforeGeneration. This devShare post should show how to set the chart axis max. I know you don't want to do exactly what is in the post, but it should show you how to get you down the right path. Let me know if you need more help.

Hi Michael,

thank you very much for your help, I have followed the direction you have provided and successfully solved the problem.

I have added those lines in my dataset scripts to store the max value

 reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("MaxPrdct",prdct.toString());
 reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("MaxBar",maxBar.toString());

and I have used the following code in the beforeGeneration part of the chart script

 importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.data.impl);
 xAxis = chart.getBaseAxes()[0];

 yAxis = chart.getOrthogonalAxes( xAxis, true )[0];
 max = icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getPersistentGlobalVariable("MaxBar");
 yAxis.getScale().setMax(NumberDataElementImpl.create(max))

 yAxis = chart.getOrthogonalAxes( xAxis, true )[1];
 max = icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getPersistentGlobalVariable("MaxPrdct");
 yAxis.getScale().setMax(NumberDataElementImpl.create(max))

Great to hear! Sorry to see that I forgot to paste the URL of the example. Glad you were able to figure it out from my description above! Thanks for posting your code! Smile

If you ever had aggregated values in your chart, rather than the exact values from your dataSet, you could get the max values from the afterDataSetFilled in the chart.
