Generate Charts

Description

Use the step to generate the chart as per input data.

Notes:
  • All rows with valid data are required to generate the chart. And if even if a single value in the row is missing or invalid, then you will see an error.
  • Input colors must be in the format [r,g,b] where r, g, and b are integers in the range 0 to 255.

Limitation: There is no error handling hop available for this step

The field is mandatory.
3X-AxisSelect or specify a value for the X-axis of the chart.
The field is mandatory.
4Chart TitleSpecify the title to display at the top of the chart.
The field is mandatory.
5Maximum Value On First Y-AxisSpecify the maximum value to display on the first Y-Axis. The value determines the upper limit of the axis range.
Note: The field is available if the chart type is Pareto or Mix Chart.
6Maximum Value On Second Y AxisSpecify the maximum value to display on the second Y-Axis. The value determines the upper limit of the axis range.
Note: The field is available if the chart type is Pareto or Mix Chart.
7X-Axis TitleSpecify the title to display on the X-Axis of the chart.
The title describes the data represented along the horizontal axis.
Note: The field is not available for the chart type Pie
The field is mandatory.
8Y-Axis TitleSpecify the title to display on the Y-Axis of the chart.
The title describes the data represented along the vertical axis.
Note: The field is not available for the Chart type Pie.
The field is mandatory.
9Y-Axis 2TitleSpecify the title to display on the second Y-Axis of the chart.
The title describes the data represented along the second vertical axis.
Note: The field is available for the Chart type Pareto and Mix Chart.
The field is mandatory.
10Canvas BackgroundSpecify the color value in RGB format for the canvas background.
For example, use [0,0,255] for blue or [255,255,255] for white.
Note: The field is not available for Chart Type Pareto.
The field is mandatory.
11Graph BackgroundSpecify the color value in RGB format for the graph background.
For example, use [0,0,255] for blue or [255,255,255] for white.
Note: The field is not available for Chart Type Pareto.
The field is mandatory.
12Output File NameSpecify the full file path of the output file, including the file extension,for example,
/path/to/output/filename.png
or,
/path/to/output/filename.jpeg
Supported file types: PNG and JPEG.
The field is mandatory.
13HeightSpecify the height of the generated image in pixels.
Note: The value must be a positive integer.
The field is mandatory.
14WidthSpecify the width of the generated image in pixels.
Note: The value must be a positive integer.
The field is mandatory.
15Tick Interval of X-AxisSpecify the tick interval value for the X-axis. The value determines the spacing between labels on the X-Axis.
Note:
- The field is available only if the X-Axis is numerical and not categorical.
- The value must be a positive integer.
- The field is not available for the Chart Type Bar, Pie, Pareto, and Mix Chart
- If you provide an invalid tick interval (anything other than a positive integer), the system skips the exception and internally uses an automated value instead
16Tick Interval of Y-AxisSpecify the tick interval value for the first Y-axis. The value determines the spacing between labels on the Y-Axis.
Note:
- The value must be a positive integer.
- If you provide an invalid tick interval (anything other than a positive integer), the system skips the exception and internally uses an automated value instead
- The field is not available for the Chart Type Pie.
17Tick Interval of Y-Axis 2Specify the tick interval value for the second Y-axis. The value determines the spacing between labels on the axis.
Note:
- The value must be a positive integer.
- If you provide an invalid tick interval (anything other than a positive integer), the system skips the exception and internally uses an automated value instead
- The field is available for the Chart Type of Pareto and Mix Chart.
18Rotation of LabelsEnter the rotation angle in degrees for the X-axis labels. Labels will be rotated anticlockwise to avoid overlap if the length is too large.
Note:
- The value must be a positive integer.
- The field is not available for Pie, Line and Scatter chart types.
19Include Bar ValuesSelect Include Bar Values, to print the numerical value on top of bars in the bar chart for better readability.
Note:
- The checkbox is available only for chart type Bar.
20Include filename in resultSelect Include filename in result, to include output filename in the result.
If selected, the generated chart file path will be included in the result files for further processing or reference.
The file will be available for download on the AutomationEdge web portal under the Request Tab.
21Y-AxisSpecify the series data for Y-Axis.
The field is mandatory.
21.aNameSelect the field name for series data.
21.bLabel In LegendSpecify the title for series data.
21.cColorSpecify the color value in RGB format.
For example [0,0,255] for blue, or [255,255,255] for white
Or
[255,255,255], [255,0,255], [0,255,255] for specifying multiple colors.
Note:
- If no value is specified, an automated color is assigned to this field.
- For Chart Type Pie with six quadrants, if only one color is specified, for the remaining five segments automated colors are assigned.
