Commodity Import Export Annual Bar Chart
The Commodity Import Export Annual Bar Chart displays a bar chart of annual exports or imports for a specific country and product.
Use the following guidelines to create a Commodity Import Export Annual Bar Chart.
* = typically required for reports
Standard Visualization Fields
Internal Title: This field is optional and will not show up in the report. You may use it to help you quickly identify a specific visualization in your report in the CMS.
*Alt Text: Provide a brief description of what the visualization shows. Learn more about writing alt text for FEWS NET visualizations.
*Show Figure Label: If the visualization is referred to in the text of the report and needs a figure number (i.e. Figure 1), make sure this toggle is turned on. Turn this toggle off for visualizations being used in country and region pages.
*Pick a visualization type: Choose the Commodity Import Export Annual Bar Chart.
Visualization Specific Fields
Data Selection Fields
*Data source organization: You can use the search box to search for a source organization by name.
*Product or group: You can use the search box to search for a product or product group (e.g., maize/corn) by name.
*Country Fields
Either an import or export country is required. You may select both.
Importing country: Country importing the selected product.
Exporting country: Country exporting the selected product.
Date Fields
Period start: This is normally left blank but can be used to limit the data shown on the chart. If using, enter a start date as the first day of the month.
*Period end: A period end date is needed to ensure that new data after the report date isn’t included automatically. This date should be entered as the last day of the report month.
If the visualization is being used on a country or a region page, rather than in a report, then the period end date should be left blank so that the visualization updates automatically as new data is published.
Auto-Generated Fields
All of these fields will be automatically generated but can be overridden if desired.
Visualization title: The auto-generated title will be formatted as follows:
Formula | Example | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Title | Importing country specified | {Country} {Product} Imports | Ukraine Maize/Corn Imports |
Exporting country specified | {Country} {Product} Exports | Malawi Sunflower Seed Exports | |
Both specified | {Import country} {Product} Imports from {Export country} | China Maize/corn Imports from Ukraine | |
Subtitle | Importing country specified | By source country | By source country |
Exporting country specified | By destination country | By destination country | |
Both specified | None | -- |
Disclaimer: This is blank by default for this chart. However, it can be used to add a custom disclaimer when required (e.g., to explain missing data).
Source Attribution: The auto-generated source attribution is a compilation of the data source organization names stored in FDW for the data used to create the visualization.
Generate the Visualization
*Generate URL: Click this button once you have filled out the fields above to generate the visualization. The system will provide a thumbnail of the visualization and a URL where you can preview the visualization. Note: It may take a minute to generate the thumbnail image. Make sure you allow the thumbnail to load before saving the visualization.
The system will automatically populate the remaining fields: Data Visualization Type, Primary URL, Image URL, and JSON Configuration. These SHOULD NOT be edited.
PDF Formatting Options
Show full width in PDF: By default, this toggle should be turned off. You may want to show a visualization in full width if you have a very detailed chart that needs to be larger than 50% of the page width.
Float Position: Sets the orientation data visualizations that are not full width. Defaults to Right. For side-by-side images, set the first image to Left. For full width images, set to None.
