How-to's

Vertical side-by-side bar charts can be used to show additional measure or dimension values for each horizontal axis value using differing identifying colors. Side-by-side bar charts are useful to directly compare the values for different measures or categories within each horizontal axis sort value.

Note: This chart requires at least one measure and one dimension. Add measures as required to compare additional values.

The following display options are available for a vertical side-by-side bar chart:

Use a horizontal bar chart when you want to emphasize a ranking relationship in descending order. This chart type can also be used when the x-axis label is too long to fit legibly side-by-side.

If you add additional measure fields to the Horizontal bucket or add dimension fields to the Color bucket, additional bars are placed in groups for each vertical axis value.

Note: Horizontal bar charts require at least one measure and one dimension. Add measures as required to compare additional values.

Use a vertical stacked bar chart when you want to view information for one dimension within another dimension. For example, when you want to see which product subcategories accounted for the most sales within each product category.

Using WebFOCUS Designer, you can create charts, grids, and maps, which enable you to convey information visually. You can save and share charts, add saved charts to pages, or edit existing charts should a scenario change. For example, you might want to create a line chart that compares two numeric measures or a ring pie chart that shows the intersections of your data as parts of a whole. You can also create a matrix chart, which allows you to identify hot spots and areas of concentration in your data.
