stack limit in histogram?

Post by _asp_ »

Hi,

what is the limit in a stacked histogram? I am using line plotting, but if i have too many lines not all are shown.

So what is the limit and how can i increase the limit?

Thanks,
Andreas

I don't believe there is an upper limit. On the Style tab you may want to set the "
Line Fill" to 0 and "Line Width" to 1 so you can see them all

A nice feature to add might be the ability to click on the query color dot in the histogram to be able to hide/show the query results. Similar to how XI does its performance graphs.

That would be awesome, actually.

I propose there is a limit:

here are two pictures. max scale is set to auto.

stack disabled
stack_no.JPG
stack enabled
stack_yes.JPG
If enable the stacked view, the scale line is decreased from 40k to 20k. That's why I say that no all lines are drawn.
note: 36 lines want to print in that chart.

Thanks, Andreas

Can you post a screenshot of you Style tab?

I'm really looking for what is selected in "Stacked Values" and when you scroll down if anything is specified in "Grid" section

Also, can you enable the legend so we can see what values are shown for each color? Thanks

For some reason in your "stack disabled" view there is a red line that is not being displayed in the "stack enabled:" view,. I'm not sure if it is specific to your query or what the case is.

I tried and tried but cannot replicate the situation, I created similar graphs using the same settings with far more data and could not get anything similar to your display.

stack disabled:
meanbytes unstacked.PNG
stack enabled:
meanbytes stacked.PNG
The only thing I can think of is that being you are using the mean to do the calculations, it may cause a null if you aren't using zero-fill and there is no result for the interval, and that would possibly not calculate correctly.

Either way, I don't think it's a limit problem as I clearly was able to get the mean of the bytes on my system to go easily to the 2,000,000 mark
