On the charts page you can view various charts in FishEye that display information about the lines of code (LOC) committed to the repository, over time. You can reach the charts page three different ways:

  • Click the 'Charts' link on the FishEye menu bar, or
  • Select 'Jump to detailed chart' on the mini-chart, or
  • Click the link named 'chart' that is shown next to each repository name on the FishEye opening screen.

Custom Charts

You can view chart information controlled by various criteria. You select the desired constraints and click 'Apply'.

Setting Explanation Values Default
Branch Limits the chart to the selected branch, defined as the repository's trunk (unless the directory displayed is a branch directory). Any branch from the current repository. Displays the trunk, unless the current directory has been identified as a branch.
Author Limits the chart to show specific author(s). Any author configured in the system. All
Extension Limits the chart to show specific file type(s). Any file extension; e.g. '.java'. All
Chart type Changes the chart's presentation. Area, line, pie or change chart. Area
Show by Secondary data by which to refine the chart. Subdirectory, author or extension. None
Start Date Date of the earliest data to show. Date in format YYYY-MM-DD. None (show all)
End Date Date of the latest data to show. Date in format YYYY-MM-DD. None (show all)
Y Axis Choosing 'Tight' zooms in the charts view to the limits of the range that the data covers. Only applies to Line charts. Full or Tight Tight
Sub Directories Limit the chart to a folder under the current branch. Files in the current directory are represented by an element labelled '.(this dir)'. A single folder. None (show all)

The 'change' chart displays the change in lines of code, for a specific date range, expressed as a line graph. For example, if the lines of code at the start date is 100, the start point will be zero and the rest of the graph shifted by 100 lines.

To return to the default chart settings, click 'Remove Constraint'.

Per-Author Lines of Code Statistics

You can view per-author statistics for lines of code as a chart. This allows you to see how many lines of code were contributed to your project by each author, over time. You can easily view this information on the charts page. Note, if you are upgrading from a previous version of FishEye, you will need to re-index the repository in order to show the per-author information.
