Build Identifier: 

Hi,

a couple of weeks ago, we implemented a new chart type for a customer project. The new chart type shows rectangles, specified by position, size,(...) and labels inside the chart area, specified by text position, text, (...)

We would very much like to contribute this extension to BIRT. I will attach some screenshots and the sourcecode.

Reproducible: Always

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your interest in contributing this chart type.  Can you please provide more information about the difference between Text, Text X, and Text Y?  Also, I reviewed your screenshots.  We should only have data settings on the data page.  Visualization properties (for example, fill, text size, etc) should be moved to to the Format Chart page.

Hi,

The field TEXT is a string used as label to describe the rectangle. It will be rendered on the position, specified by TEXT X and TEXT Y.

The field FILL is the fill pattern, which can be different for every rectangle. TEXT SIZE and TEXT COLOR do, what their name says.

Originally, we created this chart for a customer based on his requirements, so some of the fields(like FILL) should probably moved into other wizard pages or hidden behind advanced data settings.
