Index order and filters

Top  Previous  Next

When we reorder the view in the GDX data viewer, the changed order is also stored in the chart file:

 

Reorder the display of the Gantt data from:

Original order

Original order

 

Using the mouse, move over the resource column, hold down the left button, move the mouse pointer over the task column and let go of the mouse button. This results in:

Order changed

Creating the Gantt chart with this ordering adds a map entry to the chart file:

 

[CHART]

VERID=GAMSIDE Chart(s) V1

GDXFILE=ChartData.gdx

TITLE=GanttData

 

[SERIES1]

SYMBOL=GanttData

TYPE=gantt

MAP=2,1,3

 

Moving one or more 'dimensions' to the plane index, we filter the data used for the chart:

clip0021

 

Graphing StockData as a multi-line chart:( Chart | Three dimensions | Multi line)

StockData without filtering

StockData without filtering

 

Now we select a filter for 'HP'; move the mouse pointer to the 'company' column, hold down the left mouse button, move the mouse pointer to the plane index and let go of the mouse button. In the plane index, select 'HP'.

 

StockData with filter for HP

StockData with filter for HP

 

Make a single line chart for 'HP'; PopUp menu: Chart | Two dimensions | Function. This will result in the following chart:

 

Stockdata filtered for HP

Stockdata filtered for HP

 

Opening the generated chart file as a text file shows the index mapping and the filter:

 

[CHART]

VERID=GAMSIDE Chart(s) V1

GDXFILE=ChartData.gdx

TITLE=StockData

 

[SERIES1]

SYMBOL=StockData

TYPE=function

MAP=2,1,3

FILTER=*,"HP",*

 

Note that the filter is used in its original position; not its mapped position.
