Hi ,

I want to make bigger all the point in a scatter chart.

Do you know  where is the property to make bigger the points?

Thank you in advance

Come on , this should be an easy issue!!

Why don't you create a report using one of the Cognos sample packages and post it here? It might be a more effective method of getting a response. If someone wants to take a look to help you out it would certainly save them time trying to replicate something with which to test.

Or you can just continue to shout at people and see how that works out for you  ;D

Barring any further input from you, I'd suggest that you unlock the report to further hunt around for a property that might suit your purpose. Sometimes an unlocked layout lets you select items within the chart that you can't access otherwise and there may be additional properties available. Of course you may have already tried this but you didn't give any details on what you've already tried.

Of course you also did not indicate if you are using one of the legacy charts or if it is a visualization. The answer, easy or otherwise, may be different depending on which type of object you are referring to.

I tried to help resolve your issue. I'm not sure why you think I need to chill out.

^ ^ ^ what Hespora said ^ ^ ^  ;D 8)

1º) For making bigger the bubbles , i dont think i should make an example report... that does not help for nothing mate , so don't say it like an order.

2º) I dont shout people , i dont write on caps

3º) "Of course you also did not indicate if you are using one of the legacy charts or if it is a visualization" Are you trying to help me talking this way? I don't need help for you.

It's an easy question and you lose your time and mine writing in an haughty way.

Enjoy your coffee . bye!

I've remained silent on this for a couple of days to see where you decided to take it. With my Moderator hat on (with a remit to maintain cordial and polite communications in these pages), I have to comment that this response seems to be somewhat rude and demanding. People who attempt to answer questions on Cognoise do so of their own free choice, and in their own time. The above post seems to imply you believe you are entitled to an immediate answer, and you are frustrated that nobody has given you one. While that may not have been your intent, it is how it comes across, and to add to this, you have subsequently responded flippantly to a forum member who was clearly trying to help you. Consider this a friendly warning to behave in a polite and patient manner when using this forum.

Thanks,

MF.
Meep!

This is entirely inappropriate. If you post once more in this confrontational manner, you will receive a ban.

Ok , i receive the warning , although i think the manners of the other colleague were not appropriate. I should not answer him.

I've looked and it doesn't look like it's possible to change the size of the scatter points. It might be possible to do it at a global level, but I imagine that would involve altering something like a style sheet (much too complicated for me).

You might be able to do it with a visualisation in 10.2.2 or 11, but I don't have either of those so I can't test it

It is possible to change the bubble size. See attached for a chart based on the samples package. The top shows how it appears by default. The lower shows the chart with larger bubbles.

Hi Lynn - that works for bubbles, but can you do something similar for a scatter chart? I've looked, but I couldn't see anything
