Variwide

This is the N4V FOR WEBI Wiki page for the Variwide widget.

Updated for N4V 2025.3.4

• Diagram made up of vertical bars with variable width.
• 2 measures are needed to get high and width of each bar.
• Possibility to use the functionality of linked elements on this graph.

• Dimensions 1 : Dimension 1
• Dimension 2 to 5 : [Optional] Drill Dimensions

• Measure 1 : Measure 1
• Measure 2 : [Optional] Measure 2

• Move the mouse over the graph to bring up the tooltip.

Use the Webi native element link function to make this graph interact with other elements of the same report (native Webi tables / graphs and / or Need4Viz graphs). Element binding can be defined on all objects or individually on one of the dimensions of the graph. By default,the link is active only on the last level of drill, change the option in the extended parameter (selection) to activate the link on each level.

Here you can find instructions for accessing settings for Need4viz graphics: Format Custom Element.

For the Variwide graph, the available parameters are :

Global

• Palette et Style
  • General: You can use the palette tool to define the colors used to build the graph.

Extended Parameters

• Global → See the user guide for the “Global” section here

• Menu → See the user guide for the “Menu” section here

• X_Axis & Y_Axis → See the user guide for the “Axes” section here

• Options
  • Chart orientation : This setting allows you to choose an horizontal or vertical chart.
  • Chart colors : This setting allows you to fix a unique color or different color for each dimension value. You can also set a gradient color mode. In case of monochrome chart, by default the first value of the palette applied to the chart is selected, however you can specifically choose a custom color here.
  • Columns border : This setting allows you to make rounded corners for the columns.
  • Shadow : This setting allows you to draw a colored shadow around the columns.
  • Values labels : This setting allows you to set font (applied or not to the hyperlinks), rotation and position of the values labels.
  • Sorting : This parameter is used to modify the sorting order of the columns. No sort = order of data as sent by Webi.

• Selection → See the user guide for the “Selection” section here

• Controls → See the user guide for the “Selection” section here

• Tooltip → See the user guide for the “Tooltip” section here

• Legend → See the user guide for the “Legend” section here

• Options-Measure1
  • Measure 1-height : This setting allows you to specify the name of the measure in the labels (replaces the Webi object name), the unit to add as a measurement prefix or suffix as well as the precision of measure and percentages. The measurement display format (standard - e.g.: 2,345.67, compact - e.g.: 2.3K or compact long - e.g.: 2.3 thousand) can also be defined.
  • Labels : You can define here the kind of label to display and add a prefix to display before each measure.
  • Color Min/Max: Set the min/max highlighting here (specify the color for the value and/or the marker/column).
  • Threshold : This setting allows you to fix the threshold for “negative values” (default is 0) and the colors for negative and positive values.
  • Aggregation : Define here the aggregate function to use for measure 1 when drilling

• Options-Measure2
  • Measure 2-width :This setting allows you to specify the name of the measure in the labels (replaces the Webi object name), the unit to add as a measurement prefix or suffix as well as the precision of measure and percentages. The measurement display format (standard - e.g.: 2,345.67, compact - e.g.: 2.3K or compact long - e.g.: 2.3 thousand) can also be defined.
  • Labels : You can define here the kind of label to display and add a prefix to display before each measure.
  • Aggregation : Define here the aggregate function to use for measure 2 when drilling
