Work samples
All examples are implemented by using graphomate charts and graphomate tables and SAP Lumira Designer. Videos about graphomate products can be found on graphomate.com.





-
Grouped column chart This example serves to represent a key figure - the Contribution Margin - over time according to IBCS® scenarios. The deviations can be interpreted without any legend since both the chart elements and the axis represent semantics: Hatched chart elements on a gray axis show the absolute deviation of forecast values compared previous year values.
-
Return-on-asset (ROA)-Tree in Lumira Designer This tree structure shows the subcomponents of the return-on-asset over time. The tree itself was realized by simple graphic objects in Lumira Designer, while the diagrams were generated with the graphomate charts add-on. Again, you recognize actual values - black - and plan values - hollow. Particularly noteworthy are the different widths of the chart elements for mapping base and ratio measures at this point.
-
Income statement as a waterfall in Lumira Designer The IBCS®-typical representation of a comparison of two fiscal years: profit & loss components of the current and the previous year are shown as waterfall charts to represent their impact on the overall result and their structure visually.
-
Deviation charts as small multiples in Lumira Designer In this example, the same scaling across all charts is important. This is solved with graphomate charts by assigning an identical so called "Comparison Group". In this way, the visual impression is correct and the charts are visually comparable.
-
Table with deviations and alerting for Lumira Designer graphomate tables allow together with graphomate charts the establishment of IBCS®-compliant reporting. The graphomate tables enable interactive analysis across multiple dimensions, which are represented as a hierarchy. Deviations can appear as small (Incell-)charts.
