Example: Converting a Bubble Chart Request to Chart Attribute Syntax

The following example generates multiple bubble charts using traditional syntax (LOOKGRAPH value is BUBBLE). The high-level sort field (BRANDTYPE) is the GRMULTIGRAPH sort field. Separate bubble charts are generated for each value of BRANDTYPE. The PRODUCT_CATEGORY sort field is the GRLEGEND sort field. By default, the legend is not visible, so the JSON visible:true property is set for the legend: 

GRAPH FILE WF_RETAIL_LITE
SUM REVENUE_US 
MSRP_US 
GROSS_PROFIT_US
BY BRANDTYPE 
BY PRODUCT_CATEGORY 
ON GRAPH SET EMBEDHEADING ON 
ON GRAPH SET GRMERGE ADVANCED    
ON GRAPH SET GRMULTIGRAPH 1           
ON GRAPH SET GRLEGEND 1

The output is shown in the following image:

The following is the same request converted to chart attribute syntax. The LOOKGRAPH value is BUBBLE. The measures (REVENUE_US, MSRP_US, and GROSS_PROFIT_US) are assigned to the x-axis, y-axis, and size attribute categories, the high-level sort field (BRANDTYPE) is assigned to the page attribute category, and the low-level sort field (PRODUCT_CATEGORY) is assigned to the color attribute category.
