The Visualization Selector lets you switch between Ad Hoc view types, allowing you to choose the best way to represent your information in the Ad Hoc view, including:
| • | Table, which displays values corresponding to the rows and columns in the data source. |
| • | Crosstab, which compares one or more values across multiple sets of related fields. |
| • | Column, which compares values displayed as columns. |
| • | Bar, which compares values displayed as bars. |
| • | Line, which compares values displayed as points connected by lines. |
| • | Area, which compares values displayed as shaded areas. |
| • | Spider, which compares three or more values on a series of spokes. Spider charts can use columns, lines, or areas to display values. |
| • | Dual- and Multi-Axis, which display values using two or more measures. |
| • | Time Series, which compares time intervals displayed as points connected by lines. The Time Series chart type is only available for non-OLAP charts. |
| • | Scatter, which compares values as individual points arrayed across both axes of a chart. |
| • | Bubble, which compares three measures displayed as circles of varying sizes arrayed across both axes of a chart. |
| • | Pie, which compares values displayed as slices of a circular graph. |
| • | Range, which displays values as heat and tree maps. Only the Heat Map chart is available for OLAP data sources. |
| • | Gauges, which displays values as a radial or arc gauge, based on a defined minimum and maximum measure setting. |
| JasperReports Server has limited support for scatter charts created in some older versions. You can use the Ad Hoc views for those scatter charts to generate new reports, but you can't edit them. |
