InetSoft Product Information: Graph Data

InetSoft provides an API for developers to control every aspect of chart generation and user interfaces. This example below illustrates how the JavaScript-like API can be used to draw a chart dynamically.

GraphElement.addVar(field)

Add a variable to a GraphElement object. A variable is plotted on the Y-axis.

field
 String containing name of variable

importPackage(inetsoft.graph.element)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.coord)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.guide.form)

var arr = [["State", "Quantity", "Total"],
           ["NY",550,2500], ["NJ",370,3000]];
dataset = new DefaultDataSet(arr);
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new LineElement("State","Quantity");
elem.addVar("Total");
graph.addElement(elem);

“Flexible product with great training and support. The product has been very useful for quickly creating dashboards and data views. Support and training has always been available to us and quick to respond. - George R, Information Technology Specialist at Sonepar USA

GraphElement.setCollisionModifier(value)

Specifies how collisions (elements occupying the same location) should be handled.

value
 GraphElement.MOVE_NONE    (do not stack/center)
 GraphElement.MOVE_CENTER  (center, do not stack)
 GraphElement.MOVE_DODGE   (offset horizontal)
 GraphElement.MOVE_STACK   (offset vertical (stack))
 GraphElement.MOVE_JITTER  (random offset (points))
 GraphElement.DODGE_SYMMETRIC (offset horiz, center)
 GraphElement.STACK_SYMMETRIC (offset vert, center)

dataset = new DefaultDataSet(arr);
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var scale = new LinearScale("Quantity");
var frame = new HeatColorFrame();
frame.setField("Quantity");
elem.setColorFrame(frame);
elem.setStackGroup(true);
elem.setCollisionModifier(GraphElement.STACK_SYMMETRIC);
graph.addElement(elem);

GraphElement.setColorFrame(frame)

Specifies the aesthetic color treatment for the chart elements. A ColorFrame can color-code chart elements by value, or simply specify a static color scheme.

frame
 a ColorFrame object

var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
frame.setField("Quantity");
elem.setColorFrame(frame);
graph.addElement(elem);

GraphElement.setInPlot(boolean)

Specifies whether the chart should be resized so that graph elements remain fully visible in the chart area.

Boolean
 true: resize chart
 false: do not resize chart (crop elements)

Why InetSoft BI? - InetSoft's cloud flexible business intelligence solution delivers the benefit of cloud computing and software-as-a-service while giving you the maximum level of control. In terms of software-as-a-service, BI software is unique because it inherently depends on the data not being embedded in the application. Many SaaS BI vendors have created a cloud platform where you must transfer and update all data. This can create severe new issues because of bandwidth limits and updating-logic complexity. Even though some might offer a traditional install-your-own option, you will lose the benefit of SaaS that offloads the infrastructure management to the BI vendor. InetSoft's BI allows you to choose the platform and the location that is best suited for you...
