Map Chart

The MapChart layout object allows you to create a graph that has one set for values to be mapped, grouped together by a specific key.

Map Chart (Mapchart type) is a layout container, found in the Business Graphs group in the Tool Box view.

The MapChart layout object is defined by the MapChartDrawAs class.

The MAPCHART element defines the header for an abstract map dataset that can be used for creating a variety of one dimensional graphs such as pie charts. The map items are defined using the ITEM element. The resulting chart is drawn automatically. See Working with Business Graphs for additional information.

Properties

Select the object on the Report Design page to display its properties in the Properties View. You can change the object's default appearance by setting the values of its properties.

title, valuesTitle, keysTitle, drawAs, fidelity, drawLegend, drawLabels

Valid values for drawAs for Map Chart: Bar|Bar3D|Pie|Pie3D|Ring|Table|SortedTable|AggregatedTable. The default is a Pie.

The fidelity property applies only if the chart is drawn as a table (drawAs="Table").

The drawLegend and drawLabels properties have been added to customize the appearance of the plots. The option to remove the legend is useful when many charts are drawn next to each other in a document; the option can be used to make the charts share a single legend by specifying the legend only on one of the charts.
