ChartBeans Model Generator Utility
The ChartBeans model generator utility is packaged with the ChartBeans Java library (pentaho-charting-x.x.x.jar). This library can be found in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the Pentaho BI Server.
The utility is a Java command line application that allows you to input any number of chart types, and will generate the full-featured XML chart definition for each type and output it to the console. Recognized string parameters for the chart types are:
- BAR
- HBAR (for horizontal bar)
- LINE
- PIE
- AREA
- DIAL
- SCATTER (not fully functional as of this writing)
The following example would generate chart model definitions for a bar, line and pie chart and output the models to the console:
