you will see. If you select the "Show Goal Members" button, LDW
will only show the measures and goals directly under the selected
goal. If you select the "Show Measures Under Goal" button, LDW
will show all of the measures under the selected goal.
LDW will only show the most important (highest weighted)
measures or goals, up to the limit selected in the text box labeled
"Number of Bars to Show." This box has an upper limit of 15 bars.
If you choose a limit less than the number of bars implied by
your goal and radio button selections, LDW will combine the
"extra"measures and goals into a bar called "Other."
The radio buttons on the lower left determine the type of graph to
be displayed. If you select the “Draw Bar Graph” option a bar
graph will be displayed. If you select the “Draw Petal Diagram”
button a circular petal diagram will be displayed.
The final pair of radio buttons (on the right) determine the order
of the bars. You can sort the bars by relative weight (the most
highly weighted -- and widest -- bars will go on the left) or you
can show the bars in their original order. Finally, you can select
whether the bars' widths will be proportional to their weight.
If you find these options confusing, just experiment a little with
different settings. Since nothing you do in the Results menu can
change the analysis results, you can't get yourself in trouble.
The example graph alternatives display shown in Figure 8-38 was
created by selecting the "Coyote" alternative from the left list box,
the "Buy the Best Truck" goal from the right list box, the "Show
Measures Under Goal" button, the "Sort Measures By Weight"
button, the "Bars Proportional to Weight" button, the “Draw Bar
Graph” button and five as the number of bars to show. Figure 8-
39 was created using the same options but with the “Draw Petal
Diagram” option selected.
