Re: Experience with Pie Charts in Brio Reports

Joan,

Be confident we have done this for 15000 users with a 10 pages report for
each users.
to execute it and publish in Brio.portal it takes less than 4 hours.
to developpe it it depend of you data structure.
but you have some sample in the sample directory that can help you and also
look to the Brio.report documentation there lot of new feature since version
6.0 on the grah library.

you can pull out a slice
you can decide regarding the value to create a pie chart or barre code chart
SQR is a Language then you can include any business rule to format/display
your page regarding the value you get.

Franck,

Subject: Experience with Pie Charts in Brio Reports


We need to develop a report package containing 40 pages, each with
a different combination of 2 pie charts, one table and a text block.  These
packages will be run for 300 customers in one batch.

We're evaluating whether this is a reasonable effort for Brio.Report.
Has anyone done anything of this size with this product?

Have not used Pie charts before and initial tests seem to result in the
labels and values for the various slices overlaying each other.  While
this could be fixed, tediously, within the sqr code for a given set of
data,
how could it be avoided when each query results in an unknown numbre
of slices ... or do you need to decide to allow no more than a certain
number
of slices?

Is there a way to have the slices be 'pulled out' from the pie?

Thank you.
