Charts
The Charts plugin generates visual charts from your workflow data. It supports Bar, Pie, Line, Mixed, Pareto, and Scatter chart types, and saves the output as a PNG or JPEG image file. You can customize the chart title, axis labels, colors, dimensions, and data series. Use this plugin when your workflows need to create charts for reports, dashboards, or email attachments based on data processed in earlier steps.
Limitations:
- There is no error handling hop available for this step. Alternative Approach: Use the step in combination with the try-catch steps for error handling.
- In a bar chart, if the X-axis contains duplicate labels, the chart groups them into a single label and sums their corresponding Y-axis values. This behavior may lead to unexpected results when the same X-axis label appears multiple times
- Series type and Y-Axis choice are not available for chart type Pareto.
- When using a bar chart for both Y-axes in a Mixed Chart, bars with higher values may overlap those with smaller values for the same X-axis label. This overlap can make data interpretation challenging.
Alternative Approach: To avoid this issue, consider using one of the following chart combinations:
- Line-Line
- Bar-Line These combinations ensure better clarity and prevent bar overlap for the same X-axis labels.
- The step requires all rows to contain valid data, as charts are generated by sequentially accessing each row's values. If even a single value is missing, the step will give an error and exit.
