Pentaho ChartBeans

In this article, This article provides you with an introduction to the Pentaho ChartBeans 1 project is introduced. Pentaho ChartBeans is a wrapper around existing "chart engines" (such as JFreeChart and Open Flash Chart). Wrapping these chart engines creates a single way of expressing charts.

...

To eliminate confusion in documentation, the Pentaho ChartBeans project has documented its preferred charting terminology has been provided. In addition to standardizing on terms for the purpose of the Pentaho ChartBeans project, this terminology page provides an excellent introduction to charting in general. Please review this page before proceeding.

...

The first design was based on JavaBeans and is the source from which the term "beans" derives. The proposal was for classes for each of the structural components of a chart (such as the plot, series, and title). We'll refer to this design This design will be referred to as the ChartModel API.

ChartDocument API

The second design was based on a Document Object Model (DOM). A chart DOM is an object model that consists of elements which can have attributes and child elements. Elements have an associated namespace. Core chart elements, like title and plot would go into the Pentaho ChartBeans namespace. Other, chart engine-specific elements would go into their own namespaces. For example, Open Flash Chart-specific properties would go into a "openflashchart" namespace, while JFreeChart-specific properties would go into a "jfreechart" namespace. We'll refer to this design This design will be referred to as the ChartDocument API.

Tale of Two APIs

Example from a Java Developer Perspective

Let's use In this example Pentaho ChartBeans is used to render a standalone PNG image and an HTML page with an embedded Flash chart object.

Chart Data

In this example, we create a ChartTableModel consisting of The full source of this example is attached. It is a zipped Eclipse project called pentaho-chartbeans-demo. An included readme file instructs you how to run the example.

Chart Data

In this example, a ChartTableModel is created consisting of 21 rows and 3 columns. In addition, we add This example also adds some row and column metadata.

Chart Structure

Here we add the 21 series to the plot which in turn gets added to the chart.

 chartModel.setTitle("Bar Chart Using Pentaho ChartBeans");     chartModel.setPlot(plot);               return chartModel;   }{

Chart Styling

For now, styling is included in the Chart Structure when using the Java API.

Generating Charts

Now let's pull all of the pieces together. First we have a main method that "boots" Pentaho ChartBeans. This reads various configuration files and otherwise readies the system for chart processing requests. Next we render one chart using the JFreeChart plugin for Pentaho ChartBeans and then we render another chart using the Open Flash Chart plugin for Pentaho ChartBeans. Note that both use the same ChartModel and ChartTableModel.

Code Block
javajava
titlemain method

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {50.33, 104.44,  36.55 }, 
                        // "boot" ChartBeans   {  ChartBoot.getInstance().start();

 60.33,  23.44,  74.55 }, 
 // remove any output from previous runs     cleanOutput();      // render chart using JFreeChart plugin for Pentaho ChartBeans   {  renderUsingJFreeChartPlugin(createChartModel(), createChartTableModel(), "chartoutput/Bar.png");20.33,  90.44,  80.55 }, 
         // render same chart using Open Flash Chart plugin for Pentaho ChartBeans     renderUsingOpenFlashChartPlugin(createChartModel(), createChartTableModel(), "chartoutput/Bar.html");  { }

See how we specify the plugin class in the first line?

            final String chartOutputFilename) throws Exception {     final IChartPlugin plugin = ChartPluginFactory.getInstance("org.pentaho.chart.plugin.jfreechart.JFreeChartPlugin");   {  ChartDocumentContext cdc = ChartFactory.generateChart(chartModel, chartTableModel);10.33,  22.44,  97.55 },

The Open Flash Chart example is a little more complicated because we have to embed the chart data in an HTML document. Whereas in the JFreeChart example, the bytes for the PNG image went to the chartOutputFilename, in this example, we write the Pentaho ChartBeans output to a String which contains the JSON that will configure the Open Flash Chart object when rendered by the browser.

Note: This example uses open-flash-chart-full-embedded-font.swf, found at http://www.ofc2dz.com/, which is a patched version of Open Flash Chart 2.

Example from an End User Perspective

Chart Data

Chart Structure

The ChartBeans XML document for this example is below. Its relatively brief because our data and styling is separate from the chart structure. The elements in this document define a stylesheet reference, a chart title, the series, and the chart orientation.

...


<chart xmlns="http://reporting.pentaho.org/namespaces/charting/1.0">

  <!-- external style sheet -->
  <stylesheet href="theme.css" />

  <!-- chart title -->
  <title>Bar Chart Using Pentaho ChartBeans</title>
      
  <!-- styling on individual series using style and class attributes -->
  <series style="-x-pentaho-chart-series-type: bar; -x-pentaho-chart-bar-style: bar;" class="series1" />
  <series class="series2" />
  <!-- lines omitted -->
  <series class="series18" />
  
  <!-- wrap colors because there are more series than colors in the theme -->
  <series class="series1" />
  <series class="series2" />
  <series class="series3" />

  <!-- styling on plot using style attribute -->
  <plot style="-x-pentaho-chart-orientation: horizontal"/>
</chart>

Chart Styling

Here is the external style sheet referenced above. Here we're using class selectors. Note the W3C standard color property as well as a custom Pentaho ChartBeans' -x-pentaho-chart-line-width property.

...


.series1 {
  color: #2D00FF;
  -x-pentaho-chart-line-width: 2px;
}

.series2 {
  color: #11FFE4;
  -x-pentaho-chart-line-width: 2px;
}

/* lines omitted */

.series18 {
  color: #B7FFE5;
  -x-pentaho-chart-line-width: 2px;
}

...

  data.setRowMetadata(1, ROW_NAME_KEY, "2");
    // ----- lines omitted -----
    data.setRowMetadata(20, ROW_NAME_KEY, "21");
    return data;
  }

This example adds 21 series to the plot which in turn gets added to the chart.

Example from an End User Perspective

An end user is anyone who will be using the Pentaho BI Platform. Because the unit of work in the Pentaho BI Platform is the action sequence, an example using an xaction is shown that queries using MQL to get the data and then renders a chart using Pentaho ChartBeans.

Note: The ChartComponent mentioned below is not complete! It is a work in progress and cannot be used as is. This example is for illustration only.

In this example, a database is queried using an MQL query. See Generating Charts in this section.
