Hi,

I need to generate a graph for my statistical report, ALV do provide that option but the only graph format available is bar chart, and i need a line chart. Is that an option to change the graph format and do ALV has this kind of functionality.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Hi CK

ALV displays the graph using GFW. So the graph has the capability to be displayed as line chart. But I do not know whether the ALV class gives the reference of the graph object.

If it doesn't, what about you make your own graphics? You can use "GRAPH_MATRIX" function modules or GFW classes. For GFW demos, inspect programs "GFW_DEMO".

Hope this can be some clue...

Hi again

I, now, remember a parameter "IT_ALV_GRAPHICS" at the interface of the method "set_table_for_first_display". Using this parameter you can pass some settings. You pass an internal table of type "DTC_T_TC". The row type of the table has two fields (variables/value pairs):

PROP_ID : Assign a constant attribute of the class CL_ALV_GRAPHICS_CU with prefix CO_PROPID_ to this field to determine the changes to be made to the graphic. Use the CL_ALV_GRAPHICS_CU=>CO_PROPID_TITLE attribute, for example, to refer to the title of the diagram.

PROP_VAL : The value of the relevant topic, for example, 'My Title'.

So check out the constant attributes of the class CL_ALV_GRAPHICS_CU starting with CO_PROPID_ which may be relevant to your requirement.
