Demo embedding via frames and objects using notepad
Generally it makes sense to use JavaScript/object embedding if you can. It’s more versatile.
Object/JavaScript embedding supports more parameters you can use to control the look/feel/behavior of your work. While it is more verbose, once you organize the <parameter> elements, it is much easier to read and modify than a URL is
What is an axes revert?: Example: in a Server-rendered scatterplot viz, you begin zooming (not filtering) into a particular area of the chart. After examining whatever you care about, you want to see the whole chart with all data points again (zoom out): :revert=axes will get you there.What is shelves revert: You have a hierarchy on your Rows shelf, so in Server the user has the ability to start expanding that hierarchy out with our “+” symbols…You now want to close all this stuff in one fell swoop – revert=shelves is your friend.
:toolbar=top displays toolbar at top of viz, else it shows at the bottom. There is specific “bottom” option.
At some point, you’ll forget to add : to :toolbar or :tabs or :filter and waste tons of time trying to troubleshoot why Tableau isn’t working right. Tableau is working right. You aren’t. 75% of Dentists surveyed say they forget the : all the time, so this is the first thing you should look for.
When using the <param name=“toolbar” value=“top”>, the toolbar will display at the top of the viz instead of underneath
This object hits the public.tableausoftware.com serverIt also hits the “default” site of public – which doesn’t mean much, since public doesn’t “do” multi-tenancy, but whateverIt grabs the AnalyticsInc view from the AnalyticsIncJavaScript workbookIt shows us this sucker without tabs and with a toolbar
Site specific path:<object…> <parameter name= “path” value=“trusted/123456789/t/Site2/views/wb/sheet”/></object>
Except for static_image, all of these are yes, nostatic_image – a URL to a static image (generally of the already-rendered viz) while “real” viz is being rendered. This is often used in conjunction with the SAME image being added to the tableauPlaceholder div ala:<div class="tableauPlaceholder" style="width:654px; height:1469px; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; margin-left: 76px; background-image: url('http://tableau.russellchristopher.org:81/Background.gif‘;">)display_static_image – do we DISPLAY that static image? (Note that if a background image is specified in the <div>, the div will show “its background image” regardless of this setting. This setting pertains to the <object> only.animate_transition – do we “fade” into the fully rendered viz?display_overlay – do we display a smoked-glass-like overlay on the viz while it is being rendered?display_spinner – do we display the “rendering spinner”
