This web service generates, for each alternative, a plot representing the performance table as a star graph. Colors can be used. You can specify how to display the star graphs: by line, by column or in a grid. The star graphs can also be ordered by name or by id (of the alternatives).
(For outputs, see below)
A list of criteria. Criteria can be activated or desactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), criteria are considered as active. Preference direction for the selected criteria can be provided (min or max). In this web service, the default value is set to max.
A list of alternatives. Alternatives can be activated or desactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), alternatives are considered as active.
Tag: alternatives
Code:
<alternatives>
<alternative>
<active>[...]</active>
[...]
</alternative>
[...]
</alternatives>
A performance table. The evaluations should be only real or integer numeric values, i.e. <real> or <integer>.
None
Parameter values can be defined via the GUI or the XMCDA file, by default via GUI.
Name: Use preference directions?
Taking (or not) into account preference directions in the generated star graphs.
Name: Unique or multiple plot(s)?
In a unique plot, only one image is generated containing all star graphs. Multiple plots can be obtained. The default value is true.
Name: Plots arrangement
In the case of a unique plot, you can specify how to display the star graphs: by line, by column or in a grid. The default value is by column.
Name: Order abscissa by:
Choose between “name” or “id”.
Name: order
The parameter which says if the star graphs are sorted out in the alphabetical order or its inverse, according to the title.
Name: Use Colors?
The use of colors: true for colored star graphs.
Name: Choose color:
Choose between “Black”, “Red”, “Blue”, “Green”, “Yellow”, “Magenta” and “Cyan”.
