Tree chart for Flex

Nancy had asked for a sample on TreeChart . Here is a quick component I built for
Nancy . Ofcourse you can customise colours .. Sorrry I think my colour combinations are bad






You can download the source here
Usage :
1> Tree chart takes Hierarchical data as input .
2> Every node should have Name(Level as used in example[ It gets displayed in the chart] ) and value ( per in the example [ its the percentage]) and color ( the color of the area)
3> labelName should be mapped to Name and perName should be mapped to value

Look at the sample named testChart from the downloaded source .
Thank You Nancy for bringing up a good requirement :)

Really amazing, thanks a ton for showing that example. I have another question for you.

I'm back, stumped bad and looking for some advice if you have a little time:>

ok, I can't transform a groupingCollection into some sort of Hierarchical data that I can edit. What I'd like to do is pass an advanced data grid a hierarchical data structure with no leaf nodes. I tried creating a groupingCollection from flat data, passing that to a new HierarchicalData instance, but when I look at the data it looks flat and I can't traverse it like I would normally traverse a tree.

var sBs:HierarchicalData = new HierarchicalData(groupingCollP);
var sTs:HierarchicalCollectionView = new HierarchicalCollectionView(sBs);

I also tried just using the grouping collection straight, which when looked at through the debugger is hierarchical. But... when I traverse each node I can only see the children properties, and have to way to add or remove a node which I would then pass back to the adg.

var root:Object = groupingCollP.getRoot();
TraverseTree(root[0]);

I'm also trying stuff like

myXML = new XML(groupingCollP)
traverseTree(myXML);

Man, I can't get it working. So my overall question is does somebody know how I can group flat data using a GroupingCollection and then traverse that collection adding / deleting / modifying nodes as I go. I'm not looking for the traversal algorithm, I have that. I just need to know how to get the data in the correct format.

Thanks a million times a billion for even reading this.

Hi Satish,

I got here, looking for a solution similar to nancy's.

I'd like to have this working in an AdvancedDataGrid.

Did you get that to work?

Thanks in advance,
Diego
