I'm trying to plot some data in Google spreadsheet:
And as you may see all of the series are in a same column and I can't use the any of the rows as headers. My plot looks like this:
I would appreciate if you could help me know how I can edit/add legend labels.
Unfortunately I don't think the graphs were intended for your data format.
The only way I've been able to work out how to add a header is by reformatting my data so I have the header at the top of my ranges.
So I suggest you split your data into separate columns so you have;
D2:D4, E2:E4, F2:F4 etc with D1, E1, and F1 as your header and then selecting "Use row 1 as your headers." From the data menu.
Alternatively, you could add labels to the series themselves. Although not ideal, it could be quicker than reformatting your data. On the data menu, click on the three dots of a data series to bring up a menu that allows you to add a label. Unfortunately this needs to be a cell so you'll have to have that header on your sheet some where.
I had the same question this year (2021), and it looks like there's support for it now. In short, you just have to double-click on the empty legend item for the series, and it'll give you a place to put text, directly in the chart.
Here's what my chart looked like (with no series titles):
If you double-click on one, you'll get a small text input area.
Type in your series name and then press enter or click outside of the input area.
Repeat this for each series, and you should be good to go.
I had the same problem because I was selecting only the data I wanted to include in the chart and not the entire table, headers and all. When you create a chart in Google Sheets and you want to use a row or column (or both) as strings that are included in the chart's labeling, you must select the entire table before choosing the Chart command from the Insert menu.
After doing so, you may need to do all or some of the following:
Switch rows/columns if your axes are not correct
Eliminate any rows/columns that you don't want represented by editing the Data Range field in the chart editor
Select Use column A as headers or Use row 1 as headers
You could also potentially use the add labels option when clicking on the 3 dots in the series section:
Double-click on the symbols in your legend, then double-click on the symbol for the series you would like to label; you should be able to directly enter your legend label now. You can do further text formatting using the chart editor on the right.
I took them to a new sheet. first selected only the X-axis and one of the columns that will appear as one. label. In this sheet, I made all the "labels" as a header of the sheet. and added them one by one as a series. and this time it. add them as a label.
obviously this is a workaround and the bug should be fixed :) hopefully.

I am creating a very basic dashboard in libreoffice Calc. Right now I am trying to create some piecharts and bar charts. I am facing similar problem with both this type of charts.
Piecharts: I have ALL the labels to the right of the chart, even if those labels have an actual value of 0. I want labels with 0 value not to be displayed.
Bar charts: Similar to Piecharts, I want the chart not to display those X values with 0.
I am using LibreOffice Calc 6.4.7.2
If anyone can help me.
Just filter the source data table
If you want to see the entire data table, you can put the filtering result in another place and build a diagram based on this trimmed data.
I have the following graph in Power BI:
and I'm trying to recreate the below graph from Excel (note the X axis with the months February and January, with the Operation Text:
As you can see, my attempt only displays the Operation Text rather than the month and Operation Text).
Here is what my current axis looks like:
Changing the axis to have Actual Start Date on top, rather than the Operation Text:
Makes my graph look like this:
Is it possible to achieve the same outcome as in Excel, with the values in my graph showing the two months side by side, for each operation text? If so, how can I do this?
I've tried looking into the X axis 'format' settings and wasn't able to see anything obvious to help achieve this. In addition, unfortunately the graph I'm looking to recreate is only a screenshot so I am unable to see how it achieves that outcome.
EDIT:
As suggested, I attempted to place Operation Text into the Legend field in my Visualisations section but I am unable to, due to the fact that I have two Value fields (the two columns Actual Hours and Estimated Hours).
#CR7SMS is correct. You just need to expand down to the next level using that split arrow in the upper right of the visual so that this:
Becomes this:
Note that to get the axis to look like this, you'll need to sort on month rather than one of the measures.
You'll also want to turn off 'Concatenate labels' toggle in the 'Format > X axis' section of the visual settings.
You would have to drill down one level, using the arrows seen at the top right of your first screenshot. For your specific purposes, the split arrow should do the trick. Hope this helps.
Have you tried moving your date or operation text column in legend section ?..not 100% but something close to your requirement you can achieve
I am making a data logger for a couple of Arduino sensors in Qt. The problem is that I want to log the data in 3 different graphs, each of one having one specific scale, and then I'll choose what graph I will show (just one of the 3 graphs will be displayed at one time).
I tried something like this:
QCPGraph *sensorXGraph = ui->graph->addGraph();
QCPGraph *sensorYGraph = ui->graph->addGraph();
sensorXGraph->setVisible(false);
sensorYGraph->setVisible(false);
And then, in a slot call from a RadioButton clicked event I did:
sensorXGraph->setVisible(true);
sensorYGraph->setVisible(false);
And the inverse for another RadioButton. But the graph seems to keep the axis of the last graph created. So, if I try to see the sensorXGraph, the data will change accordingly but y axis range will be the one of the sensorYGraph.
I also tried to make a single QCPAxis for each graph, but it started to be a mess because I had to make QCPAxisRect for each graph as well and the result was worse than the first trial.
How do I achieve to change from one graph to another properly?
Thank you in advance.
You can call clearGraphs() on your QCustomPlot and then add whatever graphs you want to display by calling addGraph() and then call replot() on your QCustomPlot. So it would be something like this:
ui->graph->clearGraphs();
ui->graph->addGraph();
// Do whatever you need to do to edit your graph.
ui->graph->replot();
Since you are using a radio button I think that it would be easier to draw one graph and add the necessary data and labels based on whatever radio button has been selected. Hopefully that helps!
This is a follow up to this question which has to that day still 0 answers.
What I really want to do is having in a tableview, a column that has the symbol for the plotted data corresponding to the objects in the table view row. I have managed to generate the colours supposedly followed by the JavaFX chart. The issue I have of course is that my own colour generation works (it goes back to the first colour without fail after 8 elements), when the one from the chart has the issue outlined in my unanswered question.
So.
I would like now to try to pick up the style actually applied to each series of the chart independently from pre-supposed rule about the default order of colours. How do I do that?
This way I could apply those to my table view and even if the colours randomly change upon reloading then at least I will know what I am looking at.
Thanks in advance for your help.
After a bit of research I found that the following code allows me to get what I want, supposing I am interested in the series at index intitem:
plotswingschart.getData().get(intitem).getNode().getStyleClass();
This will produce a ObservableList containing the following string values (here example for the series at index 8 (9th series)):
chart-series-line
series8
default-color2
From this I can then get the information that I need. that is the colour actually applied to that curve. I can then generate a symbol to be used in my tableview.
I would still be interested in an answer to the question linked, which prompted the present question...
I am using the standalone LocusZoom software,but I am having two problems:
I have to create a plot showing only position on the x-axis (not showing the genes). If I just use showGenes=FALSE with nothing else the genes still appear, but if I use rfrows=0 then the genes are not shown, but the problem is that also the x-axis label with the positions disappears. Is there a way to only show the position label? It looks like the only way to do this is to modify the original script...
Is there a way to use several plots created using LocusZoom in an R script to position many plots into one unique figure? (output is a pdf for now) There is an option listed in the LocusZoom webpage (http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/LocusZoom_Standalone) called "prelude" but I cannot get more info on how to use it.
If you have any suggestions for either of these two issues it would be very helpful! Thanks!!
