dvt:radarGraph radarGraph radar graph

UIComponent class: oracle.adf.view.faces.bi.component.graph.UIGraph
Component type: oracle.dss.adf.graph.Graph (radarGraph)

Use the radarGraph tag to create an ADF radar graph. This tag has a minimal set of properties to support common functionality for this graph type. The following child tags can be specified on this tag.

Relationship with other tags

This component can have the following children: alertSet, attributeFormat, background, graphFootnote, graphPlotArea, graphSubtitle, graphTitle, legendArea, legendText, legendTitle, markerText, o1Axis, o1MajorTick, o1TickLabel, referenceObjectSet, seriesSet , shapeAttributesSet, y1Axis, y1BaseLine, y1MajorTick, y1TickLabel.

Example

The following example shows XML for a radarGraph tag.
<dvt:radarGraph imageWidth="300" imageHeight="300" imageFormat="FLASH" title="Graph"
partialTriggers="b2" partialSubmit="true" value ="#{sampleGraph.graphDataModel}"/>

Context Menus

Context menus can be defined by using any of the context menu facets that are defined on the graph. The "bodyContextMenu" facet specifies a context menu that is displayed on any non-selectable object within the component. The "contextMenu" facet specifies a context menu that is displayed on any selectable object within the graph. The "multiSelectContextMenu" facet specifies a context menu that is displayed when multiple objects are selected. Each facet supports only a single child component. Selection must be enabled and supported for the specific graph type in order for an object to be considered selectable. Context Menus are currently only supported in Flash.

Due to technical limitations when using the Flash rendering format, the context menu contents are currently displayed using the Flash Player's context menu. This imposes several limitations defined by the Flash Player:

Additionally, since Flash's request for context menu items is a synchronous call, so a server request to evaluate EL is not possible when the context menu is invoked. To provide context menus that vary by selected object, the menus will be pre-fetched if the context menu popup uses contentDelivery="lazyUncached". For context menus that may vary by state, this means that any EL expressions within the menu definition will be called repeatedly at render time, with different selection and currency states. When using these context menus that are pre-fetched, the application must be aware of the following:

Events

Type Phases Description
oracle.adf.view.faces.bi.event.ClickEvent Apply Request Values The ClickEvent is delivered when the component is clicked.
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent Invoke Application,
Apply Request Values
Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change event might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

Supported Facets

Name Description
bodyContextMenu popup component containing the context menu that will be shown on right click on any non-selectable object within the component. The af:popup must contain an af:menu to display the context menu. This facet supports only a single child component.
contextMenu popup component containing the context menu that will be shown on right click of any selectable data object within the component. The af:popup must contain an af:menu to display the context menu. This facet supports only a single child component.

markerTooltipTemplate String Yes Provides a declarative way to customize the tooltips that appear on the graph. By setting the markerTooltipTemplate attribute to a tokenized string, an application can quickly format all the marker tooltips. This feature is a more performant alternative to the customTooltipCallback, since tokens can be sent to the client instead of preconstructed tooltip strings. This reduces the graph payload significantly, especially for large datasets.

The markerTooltipTemplate attribute accepts a String that may contain any number of a set of predefined tokens. When the tooltips are generated, the tokens are replaced with the information corresponding to each marker. Valid tokens are:

  • NEW_LINE - inserts a new line
  • SERIES_LABEL - the series label for the series of this marker
  • GROUP_LABEL - the group label for the group of this marker
  • X_VALUE - the X value of a scatter or bubble marker

  • LOW_VALUE - the low value for a stock marker
  • CLOSE_VALUE - the close value for a stock marker
  • OPEN_VALUE - the open value for a stock marker
  • VOLUME_VALUE - the volume value for a stock volume marker
  • CUM_VALUE - the cumulative stacked value for a stacked graph
  • CUM_PERCENT - the cumulative percentage value for a stacked percent graph, pareto graph

rendered boolean Yes Default Value: true

Specifies whether the component is rendered.
selectionListener String Yes The listener interface for receiving selection events on the graph.
