Hi,

I have what I thought was a simple task, but it appears to be impossible! I am currently tasked with replacing all of the graphs in our company dashboard and am currently evaluating your Chart product. I have completed about 75% of the rework without too much in the way of issue. However, I have now got to generate a replacement for a chart that shows the status of Works Orders flowing through our systems, and the current implementation does this with a Pie Chart and a multi-column legend (showing colour from the Pie Chart, a Count, and a Percentage). The first element was quickly and easily replicated with a Torus Pie Chart which looks effective, but the latter is causing a bit of a headache.

Based on all the posts, examples, and documentation there seems to be very little control over the content and formatting of the Legend, providing only the "<value>" and "<label>" elements. This indcates immediately that I cannot replicate the three elements of the current legend .... and the Format seems very limited in that I cannot seem to even get the two allowed elements to line up in a columnar fashion. I have even asked the question about a slight change to ease the problem, and it was stated that the content of this chart has been stated as "non-variable" and MUST contain the data it does now - so no option for change!

My question (finally) is .... am I missing something (highly possible as the object model is quite extensive and I have only been working with it for a couple of days), or am I going to have to generate my own "legend" and place it on another child panel?? If the latter, how do I access the Pie Segment colours and label associations so that I can replicate these accurately in my generated legend ??

Or, is it just the case that what I need to do cannot be done .....

Thanks,
Steve

Hi there. Great news - 98% of the way there and it is looking good. Just a few more questions to get me the last few steps:

1. How do I programattically tie the colour passed to the Row Add function to the colour assigned to the pie chart segment. I suppose what I am asking here is how after I have added the Data Point to my series can I retrieve the colour that has been assigned to that segment. Alternatively, how do I force a colour to a segment as I add it, which would achieve the same thing?

2. How do I suppress some/all of the Grid Lines displayed in the legend ?

3. How do I position the text within the cells ? Is there a ContentAlignment attribute like elsewhere ?

Thanks,
Steve
