Building a Combination Chart with BIRT

A new screen cast has been added to the BIRT web site that demonstrates building a Combination Chart. This example uses a bar chart with a line chart superimposed. It also illustrates how drill to details can be implemented within a chart.

It can be viewed here.

Additionally the Charting FAQ is now available in the Eclipse Wiki.
The Charting FAQ explains many details on how the Charting Engine can be deployed, customized and manipulated.

    Is it possible to over more than two chart types in a combination chart? I wasn't able to tell this from the documentation.

    For some charts you can add additional series and each series type can be specified on the format chart tab. Add the extra series using the select data tab.

    Hi Jason,
    on Line chart, can we show +/- margin lines by filling out color between them?


    Thanks

    Jason,
    in birt line chart, for each value on a line it shows 'square' symbol to point it out.

    I just want to show this Square symbol only for Start & End value of the line

    Any suggestions?

    You can put a square and you can use script to set the visibility for a particular marker. If you look at the third tab of the chart wizard you can also set the line style to be dotted.

    I do not know what you mean by
    on Line chart, can we show +/- margin lines by filling out color between them?
