arbitrary string label for scatter data point, instead of values [message #196014] Tue, 17 October 2006 15:18 Go to next message

I have a scatter plot, wich two NumberDataSets. I would like the label
at each data point to be a String, instead of the orthogonal or base
value. i.e.,

Bob, Jim, Mike, Sam
1, 3, 5, 2
3, 7, 1, 3

I want the names to display instead of the numbers.

Is this possible?

Are you using the chart engine as standalone or in a BIRT report?

I think you should be able to do it via scripting.

Thanks,

David

No other BIRT components involved, so I guess standalone. Rendering in
SWT as part of a larger RCP application.

If scripting will work, can you please elaborate.

This seems part of a larger problem that I'm having identifying
individual data points. If I can't show other information about a data
point in the label or tool-tip, I thought I could capture the MOUSE_OVER
or CLICK in a CallBack, and capture *which* data point was selected that
way.

But the CallBackValue doesn't appear to have any information about the
selection; only the MouseEvent and ScatterSeriesImpl come back. Is
there another way to identify a data point when it is clicked?
