I am trying to compare Direct and Indirect searches from Google My Business in a pie chart as % of total searches, however pie charts only allow for one metric and one dimension.
Essentially this displayed as a pie chart:
There is no "Search Type" dimension that comes standard in Google My Business so my question is how can I create a field that combines these two metrics under one dimension?
I am trying to generate local map tiles for US states, counties and zipcodes so that I can mark them as polygons on Bing Map from C# Visual Studio 2013 WPF on win 7.
I am following the instructions at:
https://blogs.bing.com/maps/2015/08/24/local-tile-layers-in-bing-maps-wpf
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/mapcruncher/tutorial/version3.0docs/index.htm
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg427619.aspx
I am tring to use thr MapCruncher make the tiles. But, I do not know how to get an image for a state, county, or zip code such that I can use the MapCruncher to get the map tiles.
I need images of them without borders because an image is normally a square with some white bounds around the state , county, or zip code polygon area.
Also, because I need to make all local map tiles for all US states, counties and zip codes. It is impossible to make them manually by the MapCruncher tool.
How to make them by MapCruncher code ? Or are there C# codes that can do these ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have found the example in Section of "Thematic Maps from Bing SDS" at page 28.
But, the code example at https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Managing-and-Visualizing-f42fdd5c
requires Visual Studio 2015, Windows Azure Storage, Apache Cordova, Bing Spatial Data Services .
These are not available in my working environment. Are there examples of Visual Studio 2013 ?
Also, how to use your techniques in Section of "Thematic Maps from Bing SDS" for OpenStreetmap ?
There are a lot of different ways to do what you want to do. If you want to overlay raw boundaries on top of the map you likely will run into performance issues if you try to render more then a few hundred detailed polygons such as counties or Zip codes. If you only want to view this data when zoomed in close you could load in the data as needed for where the user is viewing. You could upload the boundary data into the Bing Spatial Data Services and easily retrieve it from there.
If you want to be able to view the data at all zoom levels, then turning your data into a tile layer would be the best option. Since the data you will be working with is in vector form (raw data, not an image), MapCruncher won't work for you. Instead you will need to do one of the following:
Dynamically generate the tiles from the raw data on the fly. This will allow you to support all zoom levels without needing Petabyte's worth of storage. This is a great approach to use when you need tiles that cover a large area, or when the data changes regularly. In fact, the tiles used in Bing Maps do this as the storage requirements for 117 languages and all zoom levels would be in the 1000's of petabytes. I have a white paper outlining how to do this and code samples here:

Use a tool to generate tiles from raw data. I have a code sample that does this here: http://mapstoolbox.codeplex.com/ Take a look at the WPF Spatial Data viewer. It allows you to load spatial data from different file formats and then generate map tiles out of it. Note that each zoom level has 4 times the map tiles as the zoom level before it. If you are looking to generate map tiles over the US, you will likely find that once you get to zoom level 8 or 9 you will need a lot of storage and the file system will likely be really slow. At that point you would need to look at storing the tiles in a database system to speed up querying the tiles. I would only recommend this approach if you only wanted tiles for a small area and a few zoom levels, otherwise the storage requirements will likely make this an unusable solution. If you do go this route you might want to look at storing the tiles in Azure blob storage as it is cheap and would allow you to store a lot of tiles much easier than you could on your local machine.
The dynamic tile approach would likely be your best option. You could try taking it a step further if you are only using WPF and generate the tiles in the app rather than in a web service, although using a web service would make it much easier to migrate your app to another platform in the future, such as Windows 10, or web. If you want to generate the tiles in the app, you can take the code from the white paper and integrate it with the code sample here: https://blogs.bing.com/maps/2015/08/24/local-tile-layers-in-bing-maps-wpf/
When I apply STBuffer(1) to a Point in SQL Server Spatial, they show up as an oblong circle, instead of a perfect circle. Why is this?
The selected projection is Equirectangular, and not the more familiar Mercator that we see in Google Maps & Bing Maps. Change this and the points will show up as expected.

I have a full-text catalog containing PowerPoint presentations. Some of those presentations contain charts, and in those cases, the chart is usually the main thing on the slide. When doing a search, I therefore want to be able to search for the text within the chart (e.g. the labels on a pie chart, the categories on a bar chart, etc.).
I'm disappointed (and surprised) to find that this does not seem to work. I can search for text within the presentation itself, but not for any of the text on the chart.
Please tell me there's just a setting somewhere that I need to change!
[I've tried this for charts created within PowerPoint, and charts created in Excel and then pasted into PowerPoint.]
Gary, the text extraction from Office documents is handled by the Office Filter Pack and as such, there is nothing Full-text can do for embedded data which the filters do not parse.
I successfully repro-ed the problem in my SQL Server 2012 install with the latest Office Filters. A quick work-around would be to add the labels/categories to the Notes section of each slide which gets parsed and filtered and returned to the full-text indexer.
Shown are two scatter charts on the same set of data, which contains some negative values. One is in Excel 2010 with the origin centered, the other is with Reporting Services. I would like the chart to display as in Excel. In SQL Server Reporting Services 2005-2012, is there any way to set the placement of the origin?
Excel
SSRS
Yes: click on each of the axes in the Report Designer and change the CrossAt property in the Properties window from Auto to the desired value (presumably 0).
