Is it possible to change the dimension of chart dynamically? [message #169141]

Hello All,

In my report the data varies from time to time. I have a pie-chart whose
size needs to be changed depending on the number of legends. Is there any
way to do it?

Please reply.

Thanks

Can you be more precise, what do oyu mean by change the size? How does it
change?

Thanks,

David

Hello David,

Change the size means changing the dimension (width, height) of the chart.
The data varies from time to time and so legends also increase or decrease
with time. But the chart dimension remains the same. Due to this, the
pie's become small or large. I would like to know if there's any way to
include some function that would check for the legends and increase or
decrease the size of the chart at runtime.

Please reply.

Thanks.

Yes, it's possible to set a width and height hint on the plot.

Thanks,

David

Hello David,

Thanks for the reply. But I really could not follow it. Could you please
explain how exactly can I set hint.

Please reply.

use Plot.setWidthHint(), and Plot.setHeightHint() with some points values.
The chart will try to use those as minimum values to render the plot.

Thanks,

David

Hello David,

Thanks for the reply. I am using BIRT 2.0.1. I think Plot.setWidthHint(),
and Plot.setHeightHint() was not implemented there. Is it possible to do
that in 2.0.1 ?

Thanks,
Gayatri

Unfortunately not, the only thing you can do is make the legend not visible
and provides tooltips on the chart instead.

Thanks,

David

Hello David,

I have installed BIRT 2.1 RC4. Could you please tell me how this column
hint and chart hint works. I would like to know what values should be
given. Can you please explain it a bit.

Thanks,
Gayatri
