plotAlternativesValues

SOAP service’s name:
Version:	1.1
Provider:	ITTB
	`plotAlternativesValues-ITTB` (see SOAP requests for details)

Description

This web service generates a barplot or a pie plot representing a numeric quantity for each alternative, like, e.g., an importance value. Compared to the web service plotAlternativesValues, some parameters are added. Colors can be used and the title of the plot can be typed. In the case of a bar chart, the axis-labels can also be typed. The alternatives’ evaluations are supposed to be real or integer numeric values.

Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives

A list of alternatives. Alternatives can be activated or desactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), alternatives are considered as active.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternatives>. It must have the following form:

<alternatives>
    <alternative>
        <active>[...]</active>
        [...]
    </alternative>
    [...]
</alternatives>

alternativesValues

A list of <alternativesValue> representing a certain numeric quantity for each alternative, like, e.g., an overall value.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>.

methodPlotOptions

Plot type method: choose between “Bar chart” and “Pie chart”. The default plot is a bar chart.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodParameters>. It must have the following form:

<methodParameters>
        <parameter id="chart_type" name="Chart type">
                <value>
        <label>%1</label>
         </value>
        </parameter>
        <parameter id="order_by" name="Order by">

        </parameter>
        <parameter id="final_color" name="Final color">
                <value>
        <label>%6</label>
         </value>
        </parameter>
        <parameter id="chart_title" name="Chart title">
                <value>
        <label>%7</label>
         </value>
        </parameter>
        <parameter id="domain_axis" name="Domain axis label">
                <value>
        <label>%8</label>
         </value>
        </parameter >
        <parameter id="range_axis" name="Range axis label">
                <value>
        <label>%9</label>
         </value>
        </parameter>
</methodParameters>
