The

Dataset

...

A

Time

Series

...

Dataset

...

plots

...

pairs

...

of

...

values

...

as

...

points

...

on

...

the

...

chart.

...

The

...

domain

...

values

...

(commonly

...

the

...

x-axis

...

values)

...

are

...

date

...

or

...

time

...

based

...

values,

...

and

...

the

...

range

...

values

...

(commonly

...

the

...

y-axis

...

values)

...

are

...

numeric

...

values.

...

The

...

time

...

series

...

charts

...

have

...

one

...

numeric

...

axis

...

(the

...

range

...

axis)

...

and

...

one

...

time-based

...

axis

...

(the

...

domain

...

axis).

...

If

...

the

...

dataset

...

is

...

arranged

...

by

...

column,

...

each

...

row

...

is

...

expected

...

to

...

have

...

three

...

columns.

...

Each

...

row

...

is

...

assumed

...

to

...

represent

...

one

...

data

...

point

...

on

...

the

...

chart,

...

ordered

...

by

...

the

...

series

...

name

...

and

...

domain

...

value.

...

The

...

first

...

column's

...

values

...

contain

...

the

...

name

...

of

...

the

...

series.

...

The

...

second

...

column

...

is

...

a

...

date/timestamp,

...

containing

...

the

...

domain

...

value

...

of

...

the

...

data

...

point.

...

The

...

third

...

column

...

is

...

numeric,

...

containing

...

the

...

range

...

value

...

of

...

the

...

data

...

point.

...

If

...

the

...

dataset

...

is

...

arranged

...

by

...

row,

...

each

...

row

...

is

...

expected

...

to

...

contain

...

all

...

the

...

data

...

points

...

for

...

the

...

series.

...

The

...

first

...

column's

...

values

...

contain

...

the

...

name

...

of

...

the

...

series.

...

It

...

is

...

assumed

...

the

...

other

...

columns

...

in

...

the

...

row

...

consist

...

of

...

a

...

collection

...

of

...

x/y

...

data

...

points

...

(i.e.

...

columns

...

2,

...

4,

...

6

...

etc.

...

will

...

be

...

domain

...

values

...

(dates),

...

and

...

columns

...

3,

...

5,

...

7

...

etc

...

will

...

be

...

range

...

values(numbers)).

...

The

...

date

...

values

...

in

...

the

...

dataset

...

must

...

be

...

java.util.Date

...

objects.

...

If

...

you

...

are

...

building

...

your

...

dataset

...

from

...

a

...

SQL

...

query,

...

and

...

the

...

data

...

is

...

represented

...

in

...

the

...

database

...

in

...

a

...

Date

...

column,

...

then

...

the

...

date

...

values

...

will

...

automatically

...

be

...

Date

...

objects.

...

if

...

you

...

are

...

building

...

a

...

resultset

...

manually

...

(ie.,

...

with

...

a

...

Javascript

...

rule),

...

make

...

sure

...

that

...

you

...

are

adding

the

date

as

java.util.Date

objects.

Handing this dataset to a chart, the chart will plot the data by column by default. Here is a time series line chart example:

Image Added

A Row-based Dataset Example

To plot the data by rows, you must add the by-row property to the action sequence component definition. (You can set this property in the Design Studio by checking the Chart Row Dimension checkbox.) Also, your data must be arranged in row format.

Unlike

the

,

arranging

does

not

change

the
