WebFOCUS Charts and Graphs

Topics:

The following are release considerations and product changes for WebFOCUS charts and graphs.

HTML5 Upgrade

The following are release considerations and product changes for HTML5:

  • Map requests are now required to use strict JSON syntax. This means that all property and object names and all string values must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
  • If a chart request does not contain code to place the legend in a specific position, the chart engine chooses a default position. In older versions of WebFOCUS, the default position was under the chart frame. However, in WebFOCUS 8.2.x, the default position is on the right side of the chart frame. This allows many more legend entries to be viewed.

    The chart legend position may switch from the bottom to the right when opening a request in an 8.2.x version of InfoAssist+ that was created in earlier versions of WebFOCUS. To place the legend back under the chart, right-click the chart legend, point to Legend Position, and click Bottom.

  • The SET CURRSYMB command, which specifies a currency symbol to be displayed with currency values whose format specifications include the M or N display options, is now supported for all output formats, except AHTML, APDF, and AFLEX.
  • The following JSON properties have been deprecated and replaced in Release 8.1:
    • xaxisNumeric and xaxisOrdinal have been replaced with xaxis.
    • zaxisOrdinal has been replaced with zaxis.
    • fillMode has been replaced with fillEffect,
    • pieProperties:feelerLine has been replaced with dataLabels:feelerLine.
    • yaxis:colorScale has been replaced with colorScale.

The following JSON properties have been deprecated and replaced in Release 8.2 Version 01:

  • The data text labels properties have been changed from chart-wide properties to series-specific properties.
    • The showDataValues property has been deprecated.
    • The displayMode and callback properties have been replaced by the content property.

WebFOCUS Graph API Upgrade

The following is an upgrade consideration and product change for the Graph API:

  • The API call setTextFormatPattern(getDataText(), "formatstring") no longer works to format ToolTips. Instead use setTextFormatPattern(getSeries(0), "formatstring").
