Cognos analytics graphing - popping data onto corner stacked graph

Cognos Analytics graphing - any good sources that go into a deeper dive?  I'm not finding as much info on version 11 or being able to translate from version 10 to 11.

For one example, (I have more so I'm looking for free online docs) I have a mini graph I want to pop onto the top corner of a stacked graph.  Also, I can't find the location to add a goal line onto the stacked bar graph.

Not many deep dives on Cognos Analytics graphing, maybe after I finish my series on CA JavaScript.

Are you saying you want a mini graph inside the stacked graph? Maybe you could cheat a bit, put the graphs inside a table, and position things to make it look like they're a combined graph? Can you post a mockup so I have a better idea of what you're looking for?

As for the goal line, I don't think the default RAVE stacked graph has baselines. And looking at report studio, it seems like the graph entry is missing... But you can convert a crosstab into a graph. You should be able to use that to bypass any RAVE limitations.

It's been consumed by the 'Visualization' object. When you pick this, there's a filter in the top right corner, where you can choose between RAVE2, RAVE or (AVS) Charts. :)

Meep!
