Hi : I am facing this issue :

I have a pie chart, this works fine with lesser data, but as soon as my data size increase, the chart looks really weired, I want to convert pie-chart to a Bar chart.

Does anyone know solution for this? It will be really appriciable. index.php/fa/12832/0/

One thing you could do would be to make both, then hide the one you don't want to see based on the number of points.

Hi Michael, Thanks for reply, I appriciate your response, but in my case I want to use the same widget and want to change it at run time. Is it possible?

You could use the data engine api, in the beforeFactory method, to find out how many groups you're dealing with. Then, you could either build your chart from scratch or have two built and drop the unneeded one, based on your findings.

Hi Williams, Sorry for late reply! I was dealing with some other issues, of higher priority so could not reply!

Thanks for your answer can you please give me any sample code or some sample report where Pie-Chart converts into Bar-Chart?
Need your help! Thanks again!

Here's an example from BIRT Exchange that shows how to use the data engine api:

BIRT Exchange DevShare - Data Engine API Example

For the issue of which chart to show, you could create a bar chart with the designer as the default chart in your report. If your check of the data shows less than x groups, you could build a pie chart from scratch and drop the bar chart:

BIRT Exchange DevShare - Add Pie Chart to Report

Or you could do the opposite. Let me know if you need more info.
