How to make 3D pie chart in pentaho CDE?And where is the location of xml to edit its properties? - pentaho

I want to make 3Dpie chart in Pentaho.
In several forums they said that what we want is to add is-3D parameter to XML. But I don't know where chartData.xml is.

No, it is not possible to make 3D pie chart. CCC (Community Chart Components charting library which is used by Pentaho CDE) does not support 3D chart effects.
Check an answer at the bottom of this Pentaho forum archive from the CCC developer.

PowerBI Custom Legend and Column Colours in Stacked bar chart

so I am trying to customise the colours for the legends. Basically what I am trying to do is to group the legends by colour. For example image we have refineries which are in different locations in the world. So for example if refineries 1, 2 & 3 are in Asia they should be coloured in green, and if refineries 4 & 5 are in Europe, then they should be coloured in blue. An example of this is shown below (created by excel):
Currently in PowerBI, this is my stacked chart:
So as you can see, the colours are dependent on the refineries, rather than on the locations (which are stored in a related Locations table).
Any idea of how this can be tackled in PowerBI please?
Much appreciated!
It would be very useful for BI developers if you could customize and format a little bit in Power BI using the built-in tools and expressions, something similar to SSRS, where you can set a color property based on the report data. Hope features like that be implemented soon.
As far as I know you can use Data Colors Pane:
Very manual and I think it breaks when new legends are added.

Symbol .gdb into ArcGIS

I am new to ArcGIS.
I am doing a nautical chart and I have a *.gdb file in a USB with the symbology I want to use in my nautical chart.
I have looked everywhere but it seems the methods I have being following havent done what I expected.
What I want is to enter this *gdb file, which is made up of shape and point files, into ArcMap so that I can later select this symbols for specific points in the chart.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

Converting 2D plots to 3D plots

I have been working on some charts (like line chart, histogram, bar chart, pie chart, scattergram, radar chart, candle chart etc.) made in Java2D. I need to convert these charts into 3D charts without using Java3D API.
Is there any technique or algorithm available through which I may convert my 2D charts into 3D charts?
Or is anyone aware of any third party API (free or paid) available which can meet my requirement?
Any help or solution will be highly appreciable.
Thanks.
When you mention that you are creating plots and charts in Java2D, that implies that you are either creating these plots from scratch using your own coding or using ready made libraries such as jplot2d http://code.google.com/p/jplot2d/ or http://geosoft.no/graphics/. In either case, nothing will "convert" your Java2D charts to 3D charts. jzy3d jzy3d.org/ or TeeChart http://www.steema.com/teechart/java might do the job but will require to recode using their own APIs. Note that for pie charts and line charts, there is no point other than improving the look to go 3D. Only 3D data such as surfaces or contour plots need 3D.
Orson Charts is a 3D chart library for Java that renders using just the Java2D API. It's written by the author of JFreeChart (me), but it is not free - you can download an evaluation copy to try it out though.
You might have a look at Jzy3d.
It is free, open source, and easy to use.
There are tutorials to learn how to draw surface and scatter plots.

How to export Gantt view to pdf?

I am using openerp 6.1 and I have created a project in which I have my phases and tasks in each phase.
I would like to print the gantt chart but there is no option there. Please advice how I can get this done.
Their is default way out to have it on PDf but what you can always do is prepare one report to plot that report on pdf like Burn-down chart you have on project_scrum module, Using Pychart and reportlib engine, and you can produce effective result, or you can take moden web browser screen shot utility at the end.
Thank You
I agree, there really should be print / PDF buttons for every page to save the current view :(
There are 2 workaround options I can think of:
Use reporting to generate your own report of the chart (I would suggest using the webkit_report)
Print the HTML view to PDF.. ie, capture the html code of the view and print it, or send to another system to convert to PDF (using wkhtmltopdf). I have an example here that might help you: http://timothysolomon.co.za/work/openerp-printing-with-javascript/
Good luck, maybe in version 7 they will have this by default.

Viewing graph in PDF

How can I show a bar graph or a pie chart in PDF? Is there any way to do this with Zend_PDF class? Please help me.
The Zend_Pdf component is a PDF (Portable Document Format) manipulation engine. It can load, create, modify and save documents.
It's a lower level module and just includes
Different drawing primitives (lines, rectangles, polygons, circles, ellipses and sectors).
No charts. At this sitepoint article you'll find a couple of php/pdf examples. An alternative would be to generate charts in a different library and then just use Zend_Pdf to assemble the document.
Some neat non-php charting libraries:
