Insert extra symbols into a grid chart

Tue, 05 Apr 2016 00:12:07 GMT

Hi experts,

I've the application in annex that shows the route of some individuals.My question is: Is possible to insert extra imagens/symbols into a Grid Chart? Something like this:

Where A is the beginning of the route and B the end.

In this case I'm using two imagens in front of the chart, but this isn't a solution because I need to ensure that these two points come with the beginning and end of the road automatically.

Anyone knows if I can do this?
Thanks!

I think you posted the wrong qlikview document. I don't see how one can extract a route from the data in that document.

Hi Gysbert,

Thanks for your response

The qvw is just a example of the grid chart. In my real qlikview document I've an image (like a map) inside the chart and then I can see the route based on the direction of the lines and the points. What I'm trying to do is put external images inside the symbols to mark the begining and the end.

Thanks!

You qvw does not contain a grid chart. It only contains a script that can load two small tables. I have no idea how that document should make clear what you want.

Can you see the chart in this?

I see it, but I don't understand it at all. You add a totally arbitrary dimension to it so it shows a line. What meaning does that have?

No, you can't add custom images to grid chart. Maybe there's an extension that does.

Each point represents a house, and the line the path that pearson do ordering by column 'Order_entry'

Thanks Lucian

And do you know if it is possible to define a different colour to symbols and another for the lines?

Thanks!
