8.4.6.2 example:

The following example specifies that query results are to be displayed in the form of one or

more charts:

8.4.7 charttype

Use the

charttype

option in conjunction with

charttab=chart

or

charttab=both

to

specify the chart type to be used when results are to be displayed in chart form. This option

can only be specified once in a given query string.

8.4.7.1 values:

Specify one of the following:

stackedbars

Specifies that charts will use stacked bars. Stacked charts stack data on top of each other so

you can see the total as well. See

Figure 5-12 on page 5.47

for an example of a chart using

stacked bars.

stackedvbars

Specifies that charts will use stacked vertical bars. Stacked charts stack data on top of each

other so you can see the total as well. See

Figure 5-13 on page 5.47

for an example of a

chart using stacked vertical bars.

stackedarea

Specifies that charts will use stacked areas instead of stacked bars. See

Figure 5-14 on

page 5.48

for an example of a chart using stacked areas.

&charttab=chart

NOTE: Since the total height of the stacked charts (

stackedbars

/

stackedarea

)

is the sum of the individual segments, they are not suitable for some forms of

data. For example, in performance charts, the average service time for I/O is not

the sum of the average service time for reads plus the average service time for

writes. Similarly, the average size for I/O is not the sum of the average I/O size of

reads plus the average I/O size of writes. Therefore, when you select stacked

charts, only the total service times and total I/O sizes are shown. If you want to see

the service times and I/O sizes for reads and writes separately, use

bars

or

lines

.
