Mon, 26 Mar 2012 20:23:49 GMT

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.

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...

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.

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.
