It looks like the plot only supports first level attributes and nothing custom then? Basically, I can't have <level1><level2><level3 year="2020" price="234123"/></level2></level3>?

As a feature request, I think it would be very useful to have a drop down to select the database, then a separate drop down to select the X series and a separate value to select the Y series, or xquery functions to generate either of these :)

Hi Ben,

Your query seems to be based on a different input ("GRCMAPLE-1" is not included in the example XML document), and…

...

CREATE DB bullion-2 /home/bpracht/java/basex-10.4/

…by running this command, you are creating a database with all XML documents found in the given filesystem path (that’s why your database is not empty).

The attached query might give you a clue on how data can be prepared to get price/timestamp data displayed in the Plot visualization. After having run the query, you need to open the generated "test" database and enable the Plot visualization.

Best, Christian

I think any non-stock database would work to show this, but below is the code I was using. This is the part of the dialog I'd like to get working:

I apologize for the bad markering, but it shows the drop downs that refer only to items in some other un-selected database.

To recreate:

1. Please create a database. I kept most of the defaults:

CREATE DB bullion-2 /home/bpracht/java/basex-10.4/

2. Add a document:

let $item := <item> <vendor>sdbullion</vendor> <img-url>https://sdbullion.com/media/catalog/product/cache/092a78d23e77560f092c3f80d8...</img-url> <detail-url>https://sdbullion.com/2022-1-oz-canadian-gold-maple-leaf-coin</detail-url> <detail-title>2022 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coin BU</detail-title> <schedule skus="GRC22MAPLE-1" timestamp="1672932572402"> <tier quantity="1 - 9" cash-price="1930.26" cc-price="2010.69" paypal-price="2010.69"/> <tier quantity="10 - 19" cash-price="1925.26" cc-price="2005.48" paypal-price="2005.48"/> <tier quantity="20 - 99" cash-price="1920.26" cc-price="2000.27" paypal-price="2000.27"/> <tier quantity="100+" cash-price="1915.26" cc-price="1995.06" paypal-price="1995.06"/> </schedule>

</item> let $add := db:add('bullion-2',$item,"test-item") return $item

3. Test code:

declare function local:get-price-for-quantity($schedule,$price-type,$quantity as xs:integer) { let $matching-tier := for $tier in $schedule/tier let $range := $tier/@quantity/data() let $minimum := number(if (contains($range,'-')) then substring-before($range,'-') else substring-before($range,'+')) let $maximum:= number(if (contains($range,'-')) then substring-after($range,'-') else xs:double("INF")) return if ($quantity >= $minimum and $quantity <= $maximum) then $tier else ()

  return $matching-tier/@*[local-name(.) = $price-type]/data()

};

for $schedule in collection("bullion")/item/schedule let $timestamp := $schedule/@timestamp/data() let $price-type := "cash-price" let $price := local:get-price-for-quantity($schedule,"cash-price",1) order by $timestamp ascending return if ($schedule/@skus/data() = 'GRCMAPLE-1') then ($timestamp,$price) else ()

The test code above should show the timestamp and price of the item. I was going to put the timestamp as the X and the price as the Y, but I can't figure out how.

Bonus concern: For some reason, it didn't create an empty database, but rather had these other documents too:

repo/http-www.functx.com-1.0/cxan.xml repo/http-www.functx.com-1.0/expath-pkg.xml webapp/WEB-INF/jetty.xml webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml etc/factbook.xml etc/w3-catalog.xml

Thanks for your help,

Ben
