good information on graphs

[emcevoy]

Hi all

I am looking for some good detailed information on graphs in business objects. Not only a how to but also, abilities, things to watch for, limitations, etc.

If anyone can direct me to a website, book, or anything, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all Eileen McEvoy

Hello Eileen,

I will be probably be reprimanded in another reply to your thread , but in my experience Graphs in BO were somewhat neglected when specs were drawn. There is not a lot more you can do than described in the BO user guide on the subject. What is particurily annoying is the fact that it is difficult to acquire a fixed X-axis. If you set out some measure against , for instance, months and the range lacks some months these drop off the axis. The only remedy is to define a calenderfile in the universe and outer-join this with the data you want to display. 3-D column graphs are available, but then you lose the ability to plot the values in the graph itself......
