Toggle DataPoint Visibility using Legend Interactivity [message #735638] Wed, 12 October 2011 13:04 Go to next message

I'm having difficulty getting my line chart to toggle visibility of my Y-Series datapoints.
I have a single grouped Y-series...12 groups on chart.
My legend shows these groups, but no matter what combination of Toggle selections I set in the Chart properties I can not get it to toggle the groups off/on.
Chart settings:
Value(Y) Series -> Mouse Click -> Toggle Datapoint Visibility
ChartArea -> Y-Axis -> Mouse Click -> Toggle Visibility
Legend -> Behavior -> None
Legend -> Mouse Click -> Toggle Visibility

I'm new to BIRT, sorry for the noob question, but any help is greatly appreciated.
Thx

Toggle data point visibility shoule be set here:
Value(Y) Series -> Mouse Click -> Toggle Datapoint Visibility

Look at the attached example. This only works for SVG charts and when
you preview the report the browser needs to support SVG. Look at this
preference:

Window->Preferences->Report Design->Preview
There is a check box for Enable SVG Chart. Make sure it is checked.
You can also use an external browser. I believe SVG is supported
natively in Firefox.

I get error: "The report file of version "3.2.21" is not supported"
I am running 2.2.1 because it is being integrated into IBM TCR - and that's the version they support.
Will toggle still work in 2.2.1?

I believe toggle was in 2.2.1. Did you check the preferences?

My chart is SVG type - I set the preferences as you stated...I still can not get the toggle to work. Do you have a previous copy of a report with toggle from version 2.2.1 as an example you can point me to?
I tested my browser (Firefox) for SVG support and it looks ok.

Hmm, something's definitely not right. I open your rptdesign file and deploy to TCR server... Still doesn't work.
I set my preferences to Firefox (external) but it doesn't launch...so I can't locally preview the report you sent.
Window->Preferences->Report Design->Preview
There is a check box for Enable SVG Chart. Make sure it is checked.
You can also use an external browser. I believe SVG is supported
natively in Firefox.
Should I just start from scratch and reinstall 2.2.1?

If you have the svg check box checked, and you just preview with the tab
at the bottom of the editor it should work.

I tried the preview tab - I get:
HTTP Status 500 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

I'm trying from start to finish on a new pc today...to see if I've mangled something in my Eclipse setup somewhere.
I'll report back.
Thanks for your help on this issue.

Making progress...
I unzipped a fresh packange of BIRT 2.2.1 on new pc.
Opened your test, previewed w/ SVG Pref & it works!
So I exported to Archive, deploy to TCR server and no dice.
The web source shows it as PNG? even though in the rptdesign it's SVG.
Any ideas? Browser is IE, I did Adobe install of SVG 3.0 and tested...looks good to me.
Thanks

Does the TCR server use the RE API to run the reports or the BIRT Viewer?

The code may not be setting the supported image formats:

HTMLRenderOption renderOption = new HTMLRenderOption( );
...set up options
renderOption.setSupportedImageFormats("PNG;GIF;JPG;BMP;SWF;SVG");

if SVG is not in the list charts are automatically converted to an image
format.

It looks like Eclipse can run it's own webserver, should I just go that route?

You could try to put the following script in the beforeFactory:
var xyz =
reportContext.getRenderOption().getOption("supportedImageFormats");
reportContext.getRenderOption().setOption("supportedImageFormats", xyz
+";SVG");

But I do not think this will work.
