To Repeat a Chart Series for each Element in a Set

You can create a chart series per element in a set. If you have array entities with two or more index sets you can use vdl-repeat over one of the index sets and create a series per element.

  1. In the Palette > Components group, click and drag a Chart element onto the artboard.
  2. In the first page of the wizard, select the Data > Entity that will be displayed in the chart (MY_ARRAY).
  3. Click FINISH.
  4. On the artboard, select the Chart Series. In the Attributes pane:
    • Set Label to "index.label"
    • Set Repeat to "=index in scenario.entities.MY_SET"
  5. In the Palette > Components group, click and drag an Index Filter element onto the Chart Series.
  6. Select the Index Filter element on the artboard, and in the Attributes pane:
    • Edit the Set attribute to select the dataset. ("MY_SET")
    • Edit the Value attribute to specify the value to display in the table column ("=item.value").
