Behavior
It is possible to produce a bar chart inside a table by adding a column, marking it with the text “Chart Legend” and adding a DimensionGroup of type bars.
If there are column groups in the table style, the “Chart Legend” text should be on the level of the column groups. The chart legend is then produced by merging the column group and column cells together.
The bars themselves are generated by placing in the chart column for each row a table which consists of two cells. One cell is the filled out bar and the other is basically the padding.
The bars start with the height defined in the configuration file setting tablechart.barheightInPt and shrink proportionally until tablechart.minimumbarheightInPt is reached.
The axis can be styled by setting tablechart.axisbordercolor and tablechart.axisborderwidth in the configuration file.
The colors are chosen from the theme specified in VerticalTableNode.theme or the configuration file. They are applied in the order they are defined in the themes section of the word template. If there are more bars than colors, the cycle continues from the beginning.
The axis is positioned based on the data in the abstract report. There are four positions with a distance of 25% of the column width of eachother. If there are no negative values, the axis is placed at position 0 (i.e. to the left). If there are only negative values smaller than 25% of the total, the axis is positioned at position 1 (which is at 25% of the column width) and so forth. Please see the the examples section for concrete applications of this principle.
The formatting of the cell with the text “Chart Legend” is copied and used for formatting the produced chart legend. It is also possible to specify left and right margins in each cell beneath the “Chart Legend” cell.
The column width can be set by either setting the metadata (the JSON comment), the DimensionGroup.width property or if nothing is set, the actual column width in percent in the table style.
