Ignition 8.1.25 I have an XY chart and I selected lines and shapes dataset type. The size of the shapes is a bit large for my liking since I can have hundreds of points. How can I use the configureChart function to adjust the size of these shapes? ---

🤓 Got nerd-sniped. Should work across multiple datasets and subplots. ```python def configureChart(self, chart): size = 6 topPlot = chart.getXYPlot() # Create plot list depending if subplots exist if hasattr(topPlot, 'getSubplots'): plotList = topPlot.getSubplots() else: plotList = [topPlot] for plot in plotList: datasetCount = plot.getDatasetCount() for dsIndex in xrange(datasetCount): dataset = plot.getDataset(dsIndex) renderer = plot.getRendererForDataset(dataset) for seriesIndex in xrange(dataset.seriesCount): shape = renderer.getSeriesShape(seriesIndex) shape.height=size shape.width=size shape.x = -size/2.0 shape.y = -size/2.0 renderer.setSeriesShape(seriesIndex, shape) ``` Default size of 6 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/1/a1c8ce404bb48907ce12e14fbe364039fd00df65.png) Size of 4 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/8/68be9c14f5aafbec295544bca9de01fbfcac2ddb.png) ---

Hi @JordanCClark and All, Can we disable the shape for those lines in the single dataset? I have one dataset that contains four lines of chart. I'll give an Image for reference. I have Min, Max, Target, and Actual. These are the four Values I have in the dataset. I had to change the line into Line/Shapes in the chart properties. Then, all of the line styles are changed. But I should need to change the Line style for Actual only. Could you please help me to resolve this issue? In Chart Customizer: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/4/e4621979a4b57185d6498e6e3cabe84dce623adc.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/7/57471910c2fa9445fd5b58d478a035bc110bf4b9.png) The above one is my dataset. The Manz ID is an X-Axis value, then HC CH5 590mm is the Actual value and threes are max, min, and target values. Thanks, Muniyandi D ---

I'd make a filter to use the specific dataset column names. ```python def configureChart(self, chart): size = defaultSize = 6 seriesFilter = ['HC CH5 590mm'] topPlot = chart.getXYPlot() # Create plot list depending if subplots exist if hasattr(topPlot, 'getSubplots'): plotList = topPlot.getSubplots() else: plotList = [topPlot] for plot in plotList: datasetCount = plot.getDatasetCount() for dsIndex in xrange(datasetCount): dataset = plot.getDataset(dsIndex) columnNames = list(dataset.getDataSetForSeries(0).getColumnNames())[1:] renderer = plot.getRendererForDataset(dataset) for seriesIndex, seriesName in enumerate(columnNames): if seriesName in seriesFilter: size = 0 else: size = defaultSize shape = renderer.getSeriesShape(seriesIndex) shape.height=size shape.width=size shape.x = -size/2.0 shape.y = -size/2.0 renderer.setSeriesShape(seriesIndex, shape) ``` ---

Can you post a export of the window? If the dataset property is bound to something, remove the binding first, to preserve the data. I should be able to take a closer look this afternoon (currently, its 4am here 😉) EDIT: Also, what version of Ignition? Just to be sure I'm on the same page. ---

Thank You @JordanCClark for your reply messages at 4 am. I'll add an example window and one client tag for that chart. Should need to assign the substrate\_id column in the tag as "Manz ID" fro that charts. [Chart\_dataset\_tags.json](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/a45sHDdJ3L2WrN1HRj677bkIzYq.json) (96.9 KB) [Chart\_Example\_Window.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/kFV5aLEZB8hlgcnIZDT3oU4kqOr.zip) (45.4 KB) You can use this to Check and validate which error has throwing while running the script. Our ignition version is 8.1.33 (b2023101913) Thanks, Muniyandi D ---

Sorry for the late reply. Work requirements are building up... Anyway, here's a quick and dirty one that will hide series shapes only. No resizing, as, in my limited time, resizing a polygon is a pain. 😆 ```python def configureChart(self, chart): seriesFilter = ['HC CH5 590nm', 'Target'] topPlot = chart.getXYPlot() # Create plot list depending if subplots exist if hasattr(topPlot, 'getSubplots'): plotList = topPlot.getSubplots() else: plotList = [topPlot] for plot in plotList: datasetCount = plot.getDatasetCount() for dsIndex in xrange(datasetCount): dataset = plot.getDataset(dsIndex) columnNames = list(dataset.getDataSetForSeries(0).getColumnNames())[1:] renderer = plot.getRendererForDataset(dataset) # Create a shape to use for hiding a series shape. hiddenShape = renderer.getSeriesShape(0) hiddenShape.height = 0 hiddenShape.width = 0 hiddenShape.x = 0 hiddenShape.y = 0 for seriesIndex, seriesName in enumerate(columnNames): if seriesName in seriesFilter: renderer.setSeriesShape(seriesIndex, hiddenShape) ``` ---

Is there any way to change the Graph line type? For example, I used XY/Shapes Renderer only. So, the lines and shapes showed a series. But, here my doubt is, can we show only shapes for any one line out of four lines? I mentioned it previously in the previous chats. Thanks, Muniyandi D ---

Thanks, Mr. @JordanCClark. I think you haven't mentioned the "hiddenLine" variable you had passed in the noLineFilter condition. That's why I got an error? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/6/263b7766a540cd45ebd82ccecbcbbece6a84e5a9.png) ---

Probably. I was pretty sleepy when I wrote it. 😉 Change `hiddenLine` to `hiddenStroke` ---

No worries Mr. @JordanCClark ! Sleepy coding is the birthplace of all kinds of creative bugs. 😉 I've updated it to **hiddenStroke** - it's ready to roll! But I'm facing one small issue with that. The shapes of those columns we mentioned in the **noShapeFilter** list columns should be hidden. am I correct? However, all column shapes are hidden whenever the script is enabled. ```python def configureChart(self, chart): noShapesFilter = ["Min", "Max", "Target"] noLineFilter = ["HC Ch5 590nm"] topPlot = chart.getXYPlot() # Create plot list depending if subplots exist if hasattr(topPlot, 'getSubplots'): plotList = topPlot.getSubplots() else: plotList = [topPlot] for plot in plotList: datasetCount = plot.getDatasetCount() for dsIndex in xrange(datasetCount): dataset = plot.getDataset(dsIndex) columnNames = list(dataset.getDataSetForSeries(0).getColumnNames())[1:] renderer = plot.getRendererForDataset(dataset) # Get base stroke and create a hidden version. baseStroke = renderer.baseStroke hiddenStroke = baseStroke.class(0) # Create a shape to use for hiding a series shape. hiddenShape = renderer.getBaseShape() hiddenShape.height = 0 hiddenShape.width = 0 hiddenShape.x = 0 hiddenShape.y = 0 for seriesIndex, seriesName in enumerate(columnNames): if str(seriesName) in noShapesFilter: renderer.setSeriesShape(seriesIndex, hiddenShape) if seriesName in noLineFilter: renderer.setSeriesStroke(seriesIndex, hiddenStroke) ``` Here, I tried to Hide the shapes for which columns I had mentioned in the **noShapesFilter** list and to reduce the visibility of the line that is mentioned in the **noLineFiletr** list. But, I'm not hiding the shapes **noLineFilter** mentioned column. Example Image: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/c/fce54e237497d3d930df8257f63fad13b2b02bed.png) I hope you can see the white colored line under the green line that was an "HC Ch5 590nm" column mentioned in **noLineFilter**. The **"HC Ch5 590nm"** data line hiding is working well. But, the line Shapes was not showing. We had not mentioned that column name in the **noShapeFilter** List. Then, how is this happening?

_EDIT: Correct file uploded._ Since you have your charts in separate groups, I reworked Graph\_1. This will be a lot easier for you to maintain. [Campaign\_Chart\_Example\_JC.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/54EEOSvrEto5KqSNwDwAffXgk4G.zip) (32.4 KB) - added custom properties to the Graph\_1 group. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/8/e8751587dfda6284f2ff903f83a7ed0cecaeedfa.png) - added propertyChange script to look for changes in the raw data or column names to sort. - added datasets to graph and bound them to the custom dataset properties of the group. The script: ```python if event.propertyName in ['_rawData', 'lineSeries', 'shapeSeries']: dataIn = system.dataset.toPyDataSet(event.source._rawData) dataHeaders = [] dataCols = [] linesHeaders = [] linesCols = [] shapesHeaders = [] shapesCols = [] lineSeries = [item.strip() for item in event.source.lineSeries.split(',')] shapeSeries = [item.strip() for item in event.source.shapeSeries.split(',')] for i, col in enumerate(dataIn.columnNames): newCol = dataIn.getColumnAsList(i) if i==0: dataHeaders.append(col) dataCols.append(newCol) if len(lineSeries[0]) > 0: linesHeaders.append(col) linesCols.append(newCol) if len(shapeSeries[0]) > 0: shapesHeaders.append(col) shapesCols.append(newCol) elif col in lineSeries: linesHeaders.append(col) linesCols.append(newCol) elif col in shapeSeries: shapesHeaders.append(col) shapesCols.append(newCol) else: dataHeaders.append(col) dataCols.append(newCol) event.source.data = system.dataset.toDataSet(dataHeaders, zip(*dataCols)) event.source.linesOnlyData = system.dataset.toDataSet(linesHeaders, zip(*linesCols)) event.source.shapesOnlyData = system.dataset.toDataSet(shapesHeaders, zip(*shapesCols)) ``` ---

Hi Mr. @JordanCClark thank you for the correction. your suggestion is the best one. But, in that some issues are there. I did what you suggested to me. But, I faced another issue when opened that on the client. I have four charts in that window. Whenever I enable the checkbox component lines and shapes datasets are enabled and the data dataset has to be disabled. Then the data are showing as I want. but, sometime later the data are disappeared automatically then that will appear at sometimes later. I don't know why this is happening. I will give a sample window of what I have used. Just move your mouse as a zig-zag on the charts, then you can see that.
