100% horizontal stacked percentage bar chart example in Jasper Reports 6.x (or) How to get %'s on stacks, color for data values

Hi Folks,

This post will teach you how to work with 100% horizontal stacked highcharts bar chart in Jasper reports and how to work with Advanced properties of it.

I hope this would help some one in saving their(s) time.

Software used to test this example : 
1) Jasper Design Studio 6.1
2) foodmart database of postgresql
3) Jasper Server 6.0.1 professional & Mozilla firefox web browser.

Sample output of the report : 

I hope you have already knew how to create a new report hence skipping some basic steps and concentrating in explaining core parts.
1) Sample Query Design
SELECT
    occupation,
    state_province,
    SUM(num_cars_owned) cars
FROM customer c
WHERE state_province IN('CA','WA','OR')
GROUP BY
    occupation ,
    state_province
ORDER BY
    occupation,
    state_province
2) Sample output of the query 

3) Drag and drop "StackedPercBar" chart from HTML-5 charts component from Palette section.

4)  Right click on it get the chart properties.
   In chart data section & under configuration tab give below.
Category : $F{occupation} (of java.lang.String type)
Series : $F{state_province} (of java.lang.String type)
Measures : $F{cars} (of java.lang.Integer type)

5) Come back to the chart properties and click on Advanced Properties and click on "Add" button to add below properties.

plotOptions.series.dataLabels.enabled = ture
(Tick the check box) - to enable the values
plotOptions.series.dataLabels.format =" {point.percentage:.0f} % "
(tick the check box) - to get the %'s
plotOptions.series.dataLabels.color = #FF0000
(do not check the tick box) - to get the colors for values

See below image for accuracy 

6) Save the report, publish it the server and have preview. Output should look as shown in first image to this post.

JRXML code : (copy paste the code to get the same copy in your JRXML source , note that it will only work in professional studio or iReport).
