Figure 2-20.
One or more series per chart in chart series
In the Display Settings you define the main look and feel of the chart and the different features you
want to enable. Figure 2-21 shows the following settings that you can control:
•
Animation
controls the initial appearance of this chart. There are thirty different
types of animation available, for example, Side from Left, Scale Y Top, etc.
•
Marker
is an object with a specified shape, size, and color used to mark and to
identify values on your chart. There are 14 different types of Marker, for example,
including Cross, Triangle Up, Triangle Down, etc.
Caution
At the time of writing, Oracle APEX 4.0.2.00.07 does not support the display of markers on a bar or
column chart. The workaround to include the markers is to adapt the XML manually and change
marker
type="None"
to the marker you want (for example,
marker type="Cross"
).
•
Style
defines the visual appearance of the data element, which is most apparent in
2D Bar and Column charts. There are four different styles available in APEX 4.0:
Default, Aqua Dark, Aqua Light, and Silver.
•
Background Type
has three choices.
Transparent
makes the chart background
transparent.
Solid Color
uses the color specified in Background Color 1 for the
background of the chart.
Gradient
uses Background Color 1 and 2 and fades
between them depending the gradient angle specified lower down in Gradient
Angle.
•
Include on Chart
allows you to select the options you want to display on your
chart. Depending on the chart type, some options might not be available.
Following are the options:
•
Hints
: Check this box if you want to see the label and value when you hover
your cursor over the chart.
•
Values
: Check this box if you want to show the values next to your chart data.
•
Labels
: Check this box if you want to see the labels along the chart axis.
•
Group by Series
: Check this box if you want to see your series split. Instead of
seeing your data grouped by column (Allen: SAL, COMM - Blake: SAL,
COMM - Clark: SAL, COMM), you will see it grouped by series first and after
that by column.
