graphical speedometer

former_member329434 — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 07:23:11 GMT

Hi Friends,

We have requirement to display data in the form of speedometer in the form of a graphical image (unlike standard guage output). Can any one guide me on this development.

All I want is to display data using speedometer graphical image with real time refresh from shop floor systems. ( every second refresh).

Thanks,

Suman

Hi Suman,

Please follow the steps below:

1.You can download the SVG object file for the same from the SDN forum and import it in MII workbench.

2.Then create one animated object in the workbench and include the file imported in Step 1.

3. Now create a transaction to calculate the value which you need to project in this dial and pass this to your animated object by using 'Animation Renderer' action block under Dynamic Graphics category.

4. You can take the encoded image output of this transaction and write the logic accordingly to refresh it. The image will look as shown below:

Hope this helps you in your development!!

Warm Regards,

Anuj

Suman,

Try the link below which came from the following area: SCN MII Wiki > Modeling > MII 12.0 Sample Projects and Tools > Click here to download > xMII Dynamic Graphics

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/70e0837a-b080-2a10-878b-f83574a09dbb

The sva and svg files mentioned should be located there.

Hi Suman,

Yes the 3D Dial Gauge/Half gauge both looks to be corrupted. The sample projects SVG 3D Dial Gauge/Half gauge wont work.

Could someone please share the files.

Suman,

Please verify that you are referencing the SVA file and not the SVG file in your transaction. The Animated Object (SVA) file is a wrapper around the corresponding SVG object.

In a quick test, I had no issue exposing the SVA properties...

Mike

Just to add,

I am noticing that the output of the generated 3DGauge isn't quite right if rendered client-side.

Here's what the image looks like if rendered as either a base-64 encoded image or as a native SVG in Firefox or Chrome (as IE8 or lower does not natively support either)...

I tried both the default LowLimit (45) and HighLimit (70) values having the same results. When I adjusted the values of LowLimit to 40 and HighLimit to 65, the following image generated...

So it appears that something isn't right in either the SVG, SVA, or the rendering engine itself.

Hope this info helps!

Regards,

Mike

Hi Mike / Anuj,

I am getting error as " Target Animated object Render is not valid" . Configured steps as:

1) Imported 3DGuage sva and svg object into workbench

2) Selected 3DGuage svg file for the animated object SVA file ( for first step1)

3) Created a transaction

4) first step is a query which returns value

5) second step configured as animation renderer ( selected the file ) ( hard coded max and min parameters in link editor)

6) third step as image saver.

Please let me know if I miss anything.

Thanks,

Suman

Hi Suman,

This error comes if there is no namespace mentioned in the xml header of the svg file.

Please check if it is there in the svg file you have with you with reference to the below code, the text in bold is the namespace:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="300" text-rendering="geometricPrecision"width="300">

<defs>

...

....(rest of the code)

It should work after this is there..

Warm Regards,

Anuj

Hi Anuj,

After adding the namespace, while saving, I am getting the following error:

"File type is invalid for target location."

Do I need to mention the same namespace as it was provided or the path of physical file location of svg file.

Thanks,

Suman

Re: graphical speedometer

Former Member — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 05:32:39 GMT

Dear Suman,

The namespace will be same as I have given above, its not the physical file location of svg file but its a standard namespace given by w3c.

Please try it and let me know if you are facing any more issues.

Warm Regards,

Anuj

Hi Anuj

Even I am also facing the same issue.

I added the namespace also but getting error as "File type is invalid for target location"

I am working on MII 14.0

Please help me out on this.

Hi Sandeep,

I am not sure if it worked for Suman or not as it is not confirmed in this post.

But, can you please tell me if you have also downloaded the file from the link given above so that I can download the same files and check because the files which I have were also giving error which was resolved after adding the namespace I had posted here earlier.

Warm Regards,

Anuj
