Customizing data visualization gadgets

In addition to formatting each data visualization gadget, dashboard designers can customize font and table attributes for all data visualization gadgets by modifying Themes Report Items library. The theme library is edited using Actuate BIRT Designer Professional or Actuate BIRT Studio, and is located in the Resources folder in an Encyclopedia volume, for example:

/Resources/ThemesReportItems.rptlibrary

The ThemesReportItems library contains cascading stylesheet values that can be modified to change the display of all data visualization gadgets.

All the default-<report item name> themes defined in the library are used as the default theme for the data visualizations:

n	default-table

n	default-crosstab

n	default-flashchart

n	default-flashgadget

n	default-chart

If a cross-tab gadgets is assigned a theme in BIRT Data Analyzer, that theme is used in place of the default-crosstab theme. For more information about using themes with crosstabs, see Using BIRT Data Analyzer.

For more information about managing style sheets for Information Console, see Information Console Developer Guide. Also see BIRT: A Field Guide and Integrating and Extending BIRT, both published by Addison-Wesley.
