I'm trying to add a background picture to go the full size of the figure but I'm not being able to do so. For some reason, when I try to add the background picture it get's added to one of the subplots but never the whole figure.
I have a Figure that contains 4 subplots each containing pie charts, but when I add it replaces one of them.
If not, is it possible to add a logo and any position I want Instead of a background picture?

i am using fusioncharts (3.16) to draw several group lines in a chart (msspline). i set main/primary lines visible in legend and secondary lines are set invisible in legend. now i want to hide all primary and secondary lines of a specific group by clicking the corresponding legend item.
i know there is a "legenditemclick" by which i can get all group members via jquery, but cannot set visiblity attribute to them.
also in fusioncharts forum there is a very old post with same requirement but i cannot apply it to the new js version!
can anyone help me please?
I am working with a pie chart whose data labels are added using the best fit property. Most of those labels are placed by Excel inside the pie, but some of them are placed outside.
Because of some series colors are so strong, the data labels had to be defined as white. Of course, the labels placed outside the pie wont be visible if I don't manually change their color (to black, for instance)
What I am trying to do is to conditionally change the label's color according to where Excel placed it (white inside the pie, black outside it), as in the following image:
I have been searching for a solution, but it seems that nobody had a similar problem.
Does anyone know if Excel allows this or does someone know a trick to bypass it?
There is a way to do this in Excel.
When you click on the chart, and go to Layout under Chart Tools.
Once there, go to Data Labels.
When you click on that, it will display a drop-down menu. At the bottom of the menu, click on More Data Label Options.
It will pull up a new window. On the sidebar of the new window, click on Number.
Then, under Category click on Custom.
In the textbox shown under Format Code, type in [Black][<0.05]0%;[White][>=0.05]0%
Click Add.
It should format the numbers outside the pie chart in your example black, and the numbers inside the pie white. If you had different data, you could format it the same, but you would have to change the number in the brackets after the color to the number one higher than number outside of the pie. It would be like this: [Black][<(number one higher than number outside of the pie)]0%;[White][>=(number one higher than number outside of the pie)]0%

My program uses TableWrapLayout with numColumns set to 2. I then have the following code: (background colors are set to show you that the widgets aren't using the blank space).
Label label = toolkit.createLabel(container, "Resource Type":);
label.setLayoutData(new TableWrapData(TableWrapData.LEFT,TableWrapData.MIDDLE));
label.setBackground(DiagramSettings.NODE_BACKGROUND_COLOR);
resourceComboMenu = new Combo(container, SWT.READ_ONLY);
resourceComboMenu.setBackground(DiagramSettings.NODE_BACKGROUND_COLOR);
resourceComboMenu.setLayoutData(new TableWrapData(TableWrapData.LEFT,TableWrapData.MIDDLE));
However as you can see in the picture the combo box refuses to left align properly. But that I mean I want it to start right after the label, not have a bunch of blank space.
One workaround would be to put the row inside it's own Composite just like I do Resource Icon and Geolocation. But I feel like I shouldn't need to since the widgets on this row equals the number of columns set by the layout. I've created this workaround for now but would like to understand this TableWrapData behavior for the future.
Any insight would be helpful, thanks.
I pretty much answered my question in the question. The composite that contains everything in the picture had TableWrapData with columns set to 2. TableWrapData essentially draws a straight, vertical line between each column then makes sure widgets from one column don't cross it.
So to fix this (like I mentioned in my question) you simply make another composite with nested widgets (which in the case would be the resource type label and resourceComboMenu). I just didn't realize that is what you're supposed to do.
I was wondering if there is a way to integrate a bar chart and a line chart into "one single chart", where the bars are "on top of the line plot? See picture for a clearer view.
(Obviously the bar-chart is not supposed to be outside the actual plot...)
This is a bit of a hack, but you could create two charts with the chart area fill transparency turned to 100%. This allows charts to be placed on top of each other, but in a way that both can be seen. Turning off any elements in the chart that you don't want (for example, duplicate axis) would enhance the presentation.
Problem solved. It was actually just a matter of scaling data, and using two "line with markers" type charts. The lines in between each dot in the one showing the percentage, were then removed. Then, using a certain layout, a line connecting the two series could appear (as shown in pic).
I asked this question on the LiveCode email list. No response, so I figure it must not be possible. I know about editing the template graphic that enables alternating row colors. That doesn't help me.
This lesson is the closest to what I have found, but it only sets the overlay color to empty cells. It also had an unwanted affect, where any data that was present in the grid no longer shows up.

As a little experiment, since the data became invisible (note that I'm on WinXP), I tried placing an opaque graphic over the column I wish to colorize. I set the ink of the graphic to AddMax or AddOver, and it looked nice, but the text in the cells disappeared. Then I tried setting the ink to AddMin, and it still looks good, but the test shows through!!!!
So, I think this will work fine visually, but how can I pass a double-click through this graphic to the cell underneath (to allow cell editing only within this column)?
Yes, you can do this.
This suggestion comes from Trevor DeVore at http://www.bluemangolearning.com/
Create a custom column template using the property inspector. From there you can edit the behavior of the column to colorize the background color of the field for that column or just edit the field in the template group to change the color.
The background color will only show up in rows that have data, however.
