- So begins a very wet day.
- Working on figuring out why coloring chart lines is so different from all the other charts. Going to try building a toy project with just one line chart in it and (maybe?) an item renderer.
- Well that turned out to be easier than I thought.
private function init():void{
var hsb:HsbObject = new HsbObject(0x0000AA);
var lsa:Array = new Array();
lsa.push(createLineSeries("Profit", "Profit", hsb));
hsb.rotateHue(40);
lsa.push(createLineSeries("Expenses", "Expenses", hsb));
hsb.rotateHue(40);
lsa.push(createLineSeries("Amount", "Amount", hsb));
_linechart.series = lsa;
}
private function createLineSeries(yf:String, dn:String, hsb:HsbObject):LineSeries{
var scs:SolidColorStroke = new SolidColorStroke(hsb.getHexColor());
scs.weight = 3;
var ls:LineSeries = new LineSeries();
ls.yField = yf;
ls.displayName = dn;
ls.setStyle("lineStroke", scs);
return ls;
}
The project files are here. There are two projects. The EdgeUtils project contains the HsbObject class.

- added dbStoredQuery(String queryName) to ScriptFacades class
- can run set of queries and return the last result in DbTable format
- working on dbStoredProc – runs stored procedure in the database via VSS
- working on QueryEditor in VSS

- Put in the paperwork for an URN
- Pinged the Morpheus folks to see how we can integrate
- Working on tracking down bugs and coloring lines
- Discussed how to add SQL stored(?) procedures to VSS with Dong.
- Need an editor to create and name scripts
- Need some kind of macro substitution
- Some of this is available in the dbObjects in JavaUtils and FGMUtils, using the classes that I wrote to create databases that map to Flex objects.
- Fixed the bug that was crashing the column rendering in WidgetBase by adding a try/catch block and resetting the array of visibile columns. Not pretty, but it works.
- Still trying to figure out how to change the color of a line. This seems to be the way: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7c52.html

- Working on getting auto colors to work properly in trend widget.
- 10:00 Meeting to talk to GAO folks. I think that went well. There will be a followup meeting.
- Continued to beat on getting autopallete working for TrendWidget. After stepping through the ThresholdColumnRederer and figuring that out, I wound up with the same wrong coloring that I was getting when I ran the fill function from within the TrendWidget. The problem was that the ChartItem index was referring to each *cluster* of columns, not the columns within the cluster. As a hack to get around this, I put an Array in TrendWidget that counts the yFields that are passed to the field function. The *index* of the yFields is then used as the hue angle. Anyway, here’s the code:
protected function setColumnSeriesColor(element:ChartItem, index:Number):IFill {
var yFieldName:String = "_unset_";
var o:Object = element.element;
// check if the yFieldName is in an array. if it is, then get the index. if not, add and get the index.
if(o.hasOwnProperty("yField")){
yFieldName = o.yField;
if(_yfieldNameArray.lastIndexOf(yFieldName) == -1){
_yfieldNameArray.push(yFieldName);
}
index = _yfieldNameArray.lastIndexOf(yFieldName);
}
return ColorUtil.setSeriesColor(element, index);
}
- Next is getting the line charts to work with the color scheme.
- Oh yeah, and add dataTip formatting to pie charts in QueryWidgetBase.

- Got some heads up on tomorrow’s meeting.

- Backups
- Updated the index.html page to mention that we are production!
- Made a printout of the xml that describes the FlexiChart that we’re using, and I think I figured out what the issue with the tooltips is. The yField does not exist as a row in the table. I need to get what the label and the mapping is for each row (series?) from the flexiChart.

- Deployed new Vis2 and PA. Vis2 still needs some work with autocalculating colors, and tooltip values are being lost in some of the FlexiCharts.
- We do have a production machine. It’s the one labeled ‘test’. Declare victory and move on!
- VisTool Meetings are now every other Thursday starting next week
- Added a minimum saturation value as well as min and max hue angle steps in the auto color code
- Extended printing of FlexiChart tooltips to show all data names and values to see why things are not showing up in the on-site tooltips
- We really do need to incorporate this – xkcd-style plots

- removed other users columns (Portfolio Admin, Portfolio Mgrs, Serivce POCs) from Alerts Datagrid in PA to reflect the requirements doc
- reworked Alerts data retrieval to include comments count and added it to Alerts Datagrid
- added refresh Alerts data when Alert Edit is done.
