Inserting charts

It's a known fact that customers are very sensitive to the appeal of
charts. Creating graphical charts (bar, pie char, lines graphs) in
ABAP is simple. There are two main methods for creating charts in
ABAP
Using the class CL_GFW
Using the function module GFW_PRES_SHOW
There are also other classes and function modules derived from
these ones. Use transaction GRAL to explore all possibilities
provided by this class and this FM.
The following are two short examples of the huge potential of
function module GFW_PRES_SHOW :
* Contain the constants for the graph type
TYPE-POOLS: GFW.
DATA: VALUES
TYPE TABLE OF GPRVAL WITH HEADER LINE,
COLUMN_TEXTS TYPE TABLE OF GPRTXT WITH HEADER LINE.
REFRESH VALUES.
REFRESH COLUMN_TEXTS.
VALUES-ROWTXT = 'Salary'.
VALUES-VAL1 = 50000.
VALUES-VAL2 = 51000.
APPEND VALUES.
VALUES-ROWTXT = 'Life cost'.
VALUES-VAL1 = 49000.
VALUES-VAL2 = 51200.
APPEND VALUES.
COLUMN_TEXTS-COLTXT = '2003'.
APPEND COLUMN_TEXTS.
COLUMN_TEXTS-COLTXT = '2004'.
APPEND COLUMN_TEXTS.
* Call a chart into a standard container, this function could be used

different graphic types depending on the presentation_type field :


gfw_prestype_lines
gfw_prestype_area
gfw_prestype_horizontal_bars
gfw_prestype_pie_chart
gfw_prestype_vertical_bars
gfw_prestype_time_axis

CALL FUNCTION 'GFW_PRES_SHOW'


EXPORTING
CONTAINER
= 'CONTAINER' "A screen with an empty
container must be defined
PRESENTATION_TYPE = GFW_PRESTYPE_LINES
TABLES
VALUES
= VALUES
COLUMN_TEXTS
= COLUMN_TEXTS
EXCEPTIONS
ERROR_OCCURRED = 1
OTHERS
= 2.
Resulting in this:

The following uses the EXACT same function with a different


presentation type
REFRESH VALUES.
REFRESH COLUMN_TEXTS.
VALUES-ROWTXT = ''.
VALUES-VAL1 = 10.
VALUES-VAL2 = 35.
VALUES-VAL3 = 45.
VALUES-VAL4 = 8.sul
VALUES-VAL5 = 2.
APPEND VALUES.
COLUMN_TEXTS-COLTXT =
APPEND COLUMN_TEXTS.
COLUMN_TEXTS-COLTXT =
APPEND COLUMN_TEXTS.
COLUMN_TEXTS-COLTXT =
APPEND COLUMN_TEXTS.
COLUMN_TEXTS-COLTXT =
APPEND COLUMN_TEXTS.
COLUMN_TEXTS-COLTXT =
APPEND COLUMN_TEXTS.
