plotPerformanceTable

SOAP service’s name:
Version:	1.4
Provider:	PyXMCDA
	`plotPerformanceTable-PyXMCDA` (see SOAP requests for details)

Description

Generate plots from provided performance tables as well as the scripts generating these plots. This service accepts also non-numeric performances (labels) as long as their criterionScales are provided to numerize them.

Colormap can be defined by the user, by giving a list of colors in the parameters.xml file. The number of colors is not restrained, and the colormap will linearly distribute the color in their provided order and interpolate between them. If only one is provided, it will be used for all data plot. Each color is either one of the color names predefined in matplotlib (See https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/color/named_colors.html#sphx-glr-gallery-color-named-colors-py) or a RGB color defined in hexadecimal ‘#RRGGBB’.

N.B: This service can handle missing data by not representing them except for starCharts which centre values represent missing data. Also, when plotting pie charts, negative and null values are not represented!
