    • The old table will not be removed anytime soon. It will continue to work until further notice. We encourage you to subscribe to the Qlik Support Blog and What's New in Qlik Cloud to stay ahead of updates.
    • The old table will not be updated further. Use the new table to benefit from future improvements.
    • We monitor your feedback and will improve the functionality of the new table.

    Enhancements have been made to the line chart plugin feature that allows point and lines to be added to the line chart. These enhancements include features such as labels for points and lines, placement options for labels, and point symbol, size and color styling options.

    Enhancements have been made to the line chart plugin feature that allows point and lines to be added to the line chart. These enhancements include features such as labels for points and lines, placement options for labels, and point symbol, size and color styling options. In the chart below, there is a line chart showing the daily page views for a site over time. Notice the point annotations for the highest and lowest daily page views days.

    Screenshot 2025-07-14 175712.png

    Let’s look at how these were created and the new features that are now available. Points and lines can be added to a line chart from the properties panel under Add-ons > Shapes.

    Screenshot 2025-07-14 171054.png

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The shape options that can be added are point and line. To add a point for the highest daily page views, a dimension value needs to be entered. It can be hard-coded, or it can be an expression. In this example, I used an expression to show the highest day in the current year. Measure input is set to measure index and the index is set to 0 to use the first measure in the line chart. Shown below are the styling options now available to use. Star was the symbol selected from the list of 7 options (circle, cross, diamond, saltire, square, star and triangle). The point color and outline are a color that stands out in the chart.

    Screenshot 2025-07-14 171736.pngScreenshot 2025-07-14 174552.png

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The same procedure was followed to add the symbol for the lowest daily page views. The expression was modified as well as the symbol and symbol color. The Colored background was checked to give a dark background to the label to make it easier to read.

    Screenshot 2025-07-14 175021.png

    Notice how these annotations highlight aspects about the line chart that may be significant or that the developer wants to point out. Let’s add a line to this chart to see what it looks like. To add a line to this chart that connects these points, a new line shape needs to be added with the value or expression for the line endpoints. Like the points, the line can be colored, and the line thickness, type and curve can also be styled.

    Screenshot 2025-07-14 175625.png

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    These shapes do not replace the reference lines or dimension reference lines that can be added to a line chart. They can still be added to a line chart. The shapes feature should be used to add context to a line chart to enable better understanding. Check out Qlik Help to learn more.

    Thanks,

    Jennell

    第5回データソン開催と合わせてはじめたこの Viz for Deck、ひとまず今回で最終回です。最後は前回長文にもかかわらず書ききれなかったテーブルのおかわり編で締めたいと思います。

    こんなかわいいテーブルを作ってみました!じゃ~んっ!

    Yuki_Suzuki_0-1752580328163.png

     

    なんと、これストレートテーブルですよ!

    メディアライブラリに格納した画像と、SVGを使って表現しています。こんなシンプルなデータで作ってみました。

    Yuki_Suzuki_1-1752580444390.png

     

    テーブルの軸は[星座]、ソート順は[ID]です。

    2つ目の項目は[ID]、ラベルは「=' '」としています。そして表記を「画像」、画像の設定を「URLを追加」とし、画像URLに、メディアライブラリのアドレスを指定しています。サイズは高さに合わせています。

    Yuki_Suzuki_2-1752580643825.png

     

     

    メディアライブラリの各画像のアドレスの求め方ですが、Chrome 使用の場合をご紹介します。画像を追加できるところ(シート背景やサムネイルなど)からメディアライブラリを開いてください。そして該当の画像を選択した状態でファンクションキーの12を押して、ブラウザのDevToolsを開きます。そして、「Select an element」の矢印をクリックして画像のプレビューをクリックすると、Elementタブでアドレスを見ることができます。

    Yuki_Suzuki_3-1752581004317.png

    アドレス部分で右クリックし、「Copy」>「Copy element」をクリックするとクリップボードにコピーされます。この「/api/v1」以降を画像URLの欄に貼り付けます。このままでは固定ですので、最後のファイル名を可変にします。今回はファイル名の最後をIDと一致させているので、下記のように指定して、軸のIDに伴って対応する画像が表示されるように設定します。

    Yuki_Suzuki_7-1752581625583.png

    メディアライブラリの画像はAPIを使って求めることも可能ですQlikTips: URL による画像の設定 をご参照ください。

     

    続いて棒グラフの列です。ここはメジャーとして下記のSVG(スケーラブルベクターグラフィックス)を使った数式を設定しています。

    Yuki_Suzuki_8-1752581861590.png

    高さ20、幅103 の領域に、長方形 (rect) を描きます。幅は[ラッキー度]とし、高さは20です。塗りつぶしは[色]の色を使用します。

    ラベルは表示されないように「=' '」としています。表記は「画像」、画像の設定は「ラベルを追加」、「サイズは縮小/拡大して合わせる」にしています。(いったん、「高さに合わせる」にして中央表示にしないと画像が表示されない場合があります。)

    水瓶座の人ごめんなさい。ダミーデータです。

    お楽しみいただけましたでしょうか?それではまたいつかどこかで!

    Happy Dueling !
