Re: GD Graph

[tomhukins]

You say that your script fails, but not how it fails. Do you see error messages? Does it not do what you want? If so, what does it do and what do you want it to do?

Essentially, you're tackling two problems: pulling data from a database and building a chart. Try isolating the code to perform each problem separately.

Firstly, query the database and check you have the data structures you expect in $projectname, @dat and $pno using Data::Dumper and warn in your foreach loop.

Secondly pass data of the form you expect to retrieve from the database to GD::Graph::bars and see what happens.

I did run the data extraction code and it returns the expected values from the database. No problem there.

When I print value of $projectname variable I get following (as expected)-

'RMG Escalation Management Tool','Dynamic Reconfiguration FY06 Initiative'

If I put this line -

$mygraph->set_legend('Dynamic reconfiguration FY06 Initiative','Rmg Escalation Management Tool');

The graph is generated.

However if I put this-

$mygraph->set_legend($projectname);

I get following err in server log

Wed Sep 28 13:49:24 2005 error client x.x.x Wed Sep 28 13:49:24 2005 barchart.pl: Illegal division by zero at ....GD/Graph/axestype.pm line 1962., referer: http://index1.html

$projectname needs to be an ARRAY:

Methods

$graph->set_legend(@legend_keys);

    Sets the keys for the legend. The elements of @legend_keys corresp
+ond to the data sets as provided to plot().

    If a key is undef or an empty string, the legend entry will be ski
+pped.

So
my @projectname = ('Dynamic reconfiguration FY06 Initiative','Rmg Escalation Management Tool');

and

$mygraph->set_legend(@projectname);

HTH.
