Create diagrams

For creating a diagram you first choose the two dimensions and then say which elements shall be filtered (similar to the filter of the results). You can save this settings as a Diagram template or you can just display the diagram, see Show and export diagrams. The templates are stored in folder 'templates/diagrams' and have the advantage, that diagrams can be created later with more actual data again ('Compute Diagram').

As dimensions you can have Project versions, Features, Metrics and Sources but only the following dimensions can be combined:
Choose the dimensions
The first step is to choose the two dimensions, that will be investigated. There you can decide if you want to compare ratings (of metrics or features) and measured values (of the results) respectively or if you want to see occurrences of measured results.

Here you can load another template as starting point for a new one. If you combine Sources with Metrics or Project Versions you also can load a filter. Combining Sources with Project Versions forces you to choose a Metric. If you combine Sources with Metrics you may select a Project Version, otherwise you have to select a version each time you calculate the diagram.


Filter dimension Features
If one dimension are Quality features, you can only see features that are on the same hierarchical level. On the top of the page you choose the level, so that the available features are shown at the bottom. If you select nothing, the quality itself is taken.

For each available feature you can define a minimum and/or maximum value which the rating shall can have.


Filter dimension Project versions
If the Project version is one dimension, you can decide between two possibilities to define which versions are displayed.

1. You can define a number of versions that shall be displayed. Here the last versions are taken (alphabetical order of the version names).

2. You can exclude some project versions.


Complete Diagram Template
The last page of the wizard shows a summary of the template. Here you can save it, too.


The pages for filtering Metrics and Sources are not explained here, because they work just like the pages to filter the results.
