GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 570011
line chart of account balances over time
Last modified: 2018-06-29 22:17:10 UTC
I've been trying to create a chart of account balances over time, ideally one line per account. So far I have failed miserably. I'm adding this bug mostly for my own benefit, but maybe I'm not the only one interested in such a feature.
I think this idea was floating around every now and then (but there isn't any related bugzilla item so far). At the time when the graphical reports were written, IIRC the graph library didn't have a simple line chart available. This might have changed by now with the goffice-graph library. Nobody of the current developers is working in that area, but that shouldn't stop you from trying it and providing a patch.
You can find my first attempts at [figuring out how to do] these reports here: http://github.com/timabell/gnucash-account-balance-chart see also the extended version of this bug, bug #350675
Created attachment 128259 [details] output of the report as it stands so far so good. no decent x axis scale yet, (is by split number) no currency support no date filtering no multiple account support
Created attachment 128260 [details] the report definition as per http://github.com/timabell/gnucash-account-balance-chart/blob/851d4672145f3e48171eab642740a7f9bcc7880c/balance-linechart.scm
Created attachment 129893 [details] [review] current version of my report this is my latest version of my report, as a git patch file, from here: http://github.com/timabell/gnucash/commit/af4804f002b8e64bb24efec390f7399041915669 which is in turn from http://github.com/timabell/gnucash-account-balance-chart/tree/6d0d1cb1ce43c233bf7f42fa291709ed05e16dab
Your report works, but needs some changes before it will be ready to be committed to svn: 1) Vertical axis shows the British Pounds symbol even though I use Canadian $. 2) Horizontal axis should use the step size, not transaction # 3) Should allow more than 1 account to be included on the same graph, and there should be a legend If there are any useful utility routines which can be factored out for different charts, please do so.
