How to Create Dashboards in CE 2015.2

TD

Hi,

I am testing this great new feature in the latest Cityengine release which allows us to create nice dashboards using Reports.

But I don't understand how to select multiple attributes/reports to compare different modes.

in the configuration panel I can only select one Report:

And I get:

And of course I'd like something like:

In the documentation its says:

If you select a report with sub-classes, only the Pie and Column charts will display all the sub-class values. Key Number will just display the main class. For example, TotalEnergyByClass is divided into the following sub-classes:

• TotalEnergyByClass.C
• TotalEnergyByClass.D
• TotalEnergyByClass.E
• TotalEnergyByClass.F
• TotalEnergyByClass.G

When you generate the report the Dashboard displays all the sub-classes values.

Could someone explain how to create classes and sub_classes in a Report ?

Thanks.

Ok, I got it! It makes reports much more visually attractive.

Thanks for you reply Cheryl.

It would be great to update the CE documentation with a simple example.

Here's the code I used for my test, it might helpful to someone else...

attr height = 20

attr floorheight = 3.5

Footprint -->

    extrude(height)

    split(y){floorheight:FloorUse}*

   

FloorUse -->

    50%: Residential

    30%: Office

    else: Entertainment

   

Residential -->

    report("FloorU.Residential",1)

    color(0,0,1)

   

Office -->

    report("FloorU.Office",1)

    color(0,1,0)

   

Entertainment -->

    report("FloorU.Entertainment",1)

    color(1,0,0)
