Hello,
We are currently using Jasperserver Pro 5.2.0 with iReport
is it possible to make an HTML 5 type of guage with highcharts (see below)?
After doing a bunch of research, it seems that the direction I need to be focused on involves using a pie chart with a few modifications (donut, and semi-circle). I think I can massage the overall query that is returning the result value to give me two distinct numbers so I can sort of fake it. For example, suppose the value returned is 80%...I can adjust the overall output to make sure I have a 20% as well, so that the chart will look like a gauge...sort of a duct-tape way of doing it seems...maybe someone has a better idea on how to accomplish decent looking gauges in this tool?
Back to the original approach tough:
I have been trying to get a HighCharts pie chart to show up as a semi-circle, but there is virtually no documentation on the Jasper implementation of HighCharts or any of the highcharts functions. I have been able to manage a complete 360 degree donut, but cannot even simply adjust the angle of it from pointing dead-north.
For example, from their documentation, the dirction of the pie chart should be able to be adjusted by adding the entry for startAngle, while a semi-circle is defined by startAngle and endAngle (highlighted in yellow). http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.9.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/pie-semi-circle/
plotOptions: {pie: {dataLabels: {enabled: true,distance: -50,style: {fontWeight: 'bold',color: 'white',textShadow: '0px 1px 2px black'}},startAngle: -90,endAngle: 90,center: ['50%', '75%']}
However, it seems these attributes are not present in the jasperserver-pro tool?
Has anyone been able to make functional gauge-like visualizations in JasperServer? I am avoiding the "WidgetsPro" due to their requirement of flash, along with their lack of "HTML 5" feel. Unless there is some property in that component that I have missed that will actually use HTML5 and not flash?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
No ideas?
Is startAngle even implemented in the Jasper usage of HighCharts?
