Convert crosstable to chart with DE API [message #896701]

Hi,

I'd like to convert a crosstable to a chart (or charts). I know there is a "Show as chart" function in the editor, but I'd like to do this via the DE API because i'm creating the crosstables also with the DE. I didn't find any easy solutions for that yet ( as easy as one click in the editor ). Is there any out of the box solution for this also in the DE API, or do I have to create my own?

Thank you for your replies!

David

I have an example that calls the de api in the before factory and sets
the index based on a parameter that lets the user decide to show as a
chart or crosstab.

th = reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mycrosstab");
mvh = th.getProperty("multiViews");

if( params["ShowAs"].value == "chartview" ){
mvh.setProperty("index", "0" );
}else{
mvh.setProperty("index", "-1" );
}

See attached
