How to create a custom shaped 'Text object' rather than the Box shaped?

[#1]

Hi,

     I want to create a custom shaped text object like the ones I attached.So that with the value of the Variable ,i can color the text object as Red,Yellow or Green.I could create a text object (box shaped) and then select image but if i do this i could not colour it according to some condition.

Any help greatly appreciated.Thank you.

is this not what you need?

Thanks for the reply but its not that simple.Pleasesee  the image above.There is a field trust with 15 fieldnames and  num(score) is the expression.Each trust has some value for detractors,neutral,promoters which is less than 10.ex:- trust a has D=3,N=2 and P=5

So if i have 10 human objects all in white color,I want to color them according to the values of Det..,neutral and promoters.

I could create text objects with images and give show condition to them but if i want to do that ,i have to create morre than 250 text objects.Any simple solution please...

This is the only thing that comes to my mind....

I remember there was a QV extension somewhere around there that displayed that kind of graph. I searched for it, but couldn't find it. probably somebody knows where to find it.

Thanks thats simple,but the customer wants the human objects rather than the rectangle square ones which qlikview provides.think i have to start creating 300 text objects with images................

Can anyone create a custom object as the human image,someone with OO Programming knowledge,so that i can use it on qlikview as a extension

Hi kevincool,

Try this test data in a new qv doc (the bitmap images need to be stored in same folder as the qv doc) ...

SpecialIcons:
LOAD * INLINE [
    Colour,      PicName
    R,  ico_bodyred
    Y,  ico_bodyyellow
    G, ico_bodygreen
];

SpecialIcons:
INFO LOAD * INLINE [
    PicName,     Path
    ico_bodyred,  bodyRed.bmp
    ico_bodyyellow, bodyYellow.bmp
    ico_bodygreen, bodyGreen.bmp
];

Data:
LOAD * INLINE [
    Location, v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6
    London, R, R, R, Y, Y, G
    Paris, R, Y, Y, G, G, G
    NewYork, R, R, Y, Y, G, G
];

When loaded, create a straight table chart with Location as dimension and 6x expressions ...

=if(v1='R','qmem://PicName/ico_bodyred', if(v1='Y','qmem://PicName/ico_bodyyellow','qmem://PicName/ico_bodygreen'))

=if(v2='R','qmem://PicName/ico_bodyred', if(v2='Y','qmem://PicName/ico_bodyyellow','qmem://PicName/ico_bodygreen'))

... and so on.

Is this what you need?

PS The expressions need representation as an image, and you might need to tweak the Image Formatting to suit.
