Customizing Charts
Some Oracle Self-Service E-Billing reports use Data Visualization Tools (DVT) for charts. You can customize the format of DVT charts, specifying size, fonts, color, and so on for each chart type. The properties for each report are stored in individual property files. The properties in each file apply to all report charts of that type. You can also create additional property files with alternate formats to associate with particular reports. You can associate only one property file with a chart type at any time, however. For details about which reports can be presented as charts, see Application Guide for Oracle Self-Service E-Billing (Business Edition) or Application Guide for Oracle Self-Service E-Billing (Consumer Edition). For details on which properties are configurable for each type of chart available, see Configurable Chart Properties. To customize the DVT charts
- To customize the formatting properties for a particular DVT chart, edit the property file associated with the particular chart type. The following chart property files are in
EDX_HOME/config/chart directory:
|
|
Vertical bar chart |
vertical_bar_chart.properties |
Horizontal bar chart |
horiz_bar_chart.properties |
Vertical stack bar chart |
vertical_stack_bar_chart.properties |
Horizontal stack bar chart |
horiz_stack_bar_chart.properties |
Pie chart |
pie_chart.properties |
Line chart |
line_chart.properties |
- You can create an alternate property file for a chart type and associate it with the chart type (replacing the default property file for the chart). Edit the chart section of XML in the
EDX_HOME/config/rpt/ filename .xml file. In the file name, filename is the name of the report. Replace the name of the properties file with the new one in the style statement as shown in the following table. Specify only one property file for each chart type at a time.
