Chart Pie with chart designer --> Set color

[Former Member]

Hello,

I created xml customizing which i use to create a chart pie.

The chart pie is created, but the color settings are ignored.

I do not know how to set the customizing ID so that the pie gets the color.

Do I have to create Points? I tried to find example coding but in program GRAPHICS_IGS_CE_TEST there is only coding for a column chart.

Any idea or example coding? This is my first chart and i am not that familiar with it. I also have not fully understood the relationship between the XML customizing and the Data customizing ... and how I have to create the Data customizing. I used the above mentioned program.

Thank you!!

Here is the coding I created so far:

FORM create_data_pie USING p_ixml_doc TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.

• Chart type = Pie, 4 Categories, 1 Series

DATA: l_simplechartdata TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,

l_categories TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,

l_series TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,

l_points TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,

l_element TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,

l_encoding TYPE REF TO if_ixml_encoding.

DATA: lv_value TYPE string.

p_ixml_doc = g_ixml->create_document( ).

l_encoding = g_ixml->create_encoding(byte_order = if_ixml_encoding=>co_little_endian

character_set = 'utf-8' ).

p_ixml_doc->set_encoding( l_encoding ).

l_simplechartdata = p_ixml_doc->create_simple_element(

name = 'SimpleChartData' parent = p_ixml_doc ).

l_series = p_ixml_doc->create_simple_element(

name = 'Series' parent = l_simplechartdata ).

• Piece 1

l_element = p_ixml_doc->create_simple_element(

name = 'S' parent = l_series ).

lv_value = gs_interface_data-fld41.

l_element->if_ixml_node~set_value( lv_value ).

• Piece 2

l_element = p_ixml_doc->create_simple_element(

name = 'S' parent = l_series ).

lv_value = gs_interface_data-fld73.

l_element->if_ixml_node~set_value( lv_value ).

• Piece 3

l_element = p_ixml_doc->create_simple_element(

name = 'S' parent = l_series ).

lv_value = gs_interface_data-fld95.

l_element->if_ixml_node~set_value( lv_value ).

• Piece 4

l_element = p_ixml_doc->create_simple_element(

name = 'S' parent = l_series ).

lv_value = gs_interface_data-fl110.

l_element->if_ixml_node~set_value( lv_value ).

ENDFORM.

Hi,

in case anybody else might have the same question.

I inserted the following coding after every element creation.

l_element->set_attribute( name = 'customizing'

value = 'Category1' ).

The value has to be the ID of the Point within the XML customizing (ID is also visible in the chart engine --> Data series -> Series ) where you define the color settings.

Thank you for sharing your solution, I am trying to apply the same requirement to a BSP pie chart, regardless of what I do I get the chart in shades of green. The customizing XML looks fine in chart designer with the point colors as specified. I am using IF_GRAPH_DATA_MODEL~GET_DATA_XML to define the data elements and have had no change in the colors - code below.

LOOP AT l_series_1_data-point_data INTO l_point_data.

l_s_element = l_document->create_simple_element( parent = l_series_1_element name = 'S' value = l_point_data-value ).

l_tooltip = 'title='.

CONCATENATE l_tooltip l_apostrophe l_point_data-tooltip l_apostrophe INTO l_tooltip.

l_s_element->set_attribute( name = 'extension' value = l_tooltip ).

CASE sy-tabix.

WHEN 1.

l_s_element->set_attribute( name = 'customizing' value = 'Category1' ).

WHEN 2.

l_s_element->set_attribute( name = 'customizing' value = 'Category2' ).

WHEN 3.

l_s_element->set_attribute( name = 'customizing' value = 'Category3' ).

WHEN 4.

l_s_element->set_attribute( name = 'customizing' value = 'Category4' ).

WHEN 5.

l_s_element->set_attribute( name = 'customizing' value = 'Category5' ).

WHEN OTHERS.

ENDCASE.

ENDLOOP.

I have since copied GRAPHICS_GUI_CE_DEMO and converted it to PIE, and it is all shades of blue, currently I am trying to replicate the customizing XML in the program to match what chart designer had, any tips would be much appreciated.
