Graph extended on several pages possible?

[Eldar]

Hi, I have a graph(stacked bars type) that is for showing departments. At the moment its on one page, its height is enough to display 40 departments, however if the data includes more than 40 the graph will still just be one page, not displaying the remaining data. 

Is it possible to make the graph extend onto the next page/grow untill it has displayed all the data? 
If no, is it possible to program the height somehow through code (so i could calculate the correct height based on the data it will receive)?

Hi Eldar,

The Graph does not grow vertically and tries to accommodate its data withing the design-time area. The Graph may extend on 2 or more pages, provided its design-time height occupies this height. See this silent video for reference. Note that when I reduce the data, the Graph height preserves, and the bars become wider.

You may use Bindings to manipulate Graph Height. Note that Graph Bindings are evaluated against the parent object's data source, hence if the Graph is within the report, the Graph DataSource should be bound to the data source of the report.

I have attached a sample report demonstrating the above. Here are the Bindings I used to set the Graph DataSource and Height dynamically:

Property path		|	Expression
DataSource		|	= ReportItem.DataObject
Height			|	=IIf(Count(Fields.category) <= 40, '8in', '16in')

You may switch between the two CsvDataSources in the sample report to observe the difference. Note that the DataSource is set to the Report. For that reason, I have placed the Graph in the Report Header and hidden the detail section as the latter is generated for each Report DataSource record.
