Specify Graph Settings dialog box
Note: This topic applies to the graphing tool, which is
supported for backward compatibility. We recommend that, if you want to add
charts or gauges to a form, use the newer FusionCharts tool instead. See
About charts and gauges.
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Graph Type | A data series graph represents multiple data points and can represent multiple properties; you can select a presentation style from the Category list. A single-value graph represents one data point within a value range; you can select a presentation style from the Type list. |
| Title | The graph's title (caption). Type a literal value or click Edit to select or create a string object. |
| Edit | Click to select, create, or edit a string object. |
| Category | The type of graph: area, bar, line, pie, or other. |
| Dimension | Specify whether the graph is two-dimensional or three-dimensional. |
| Type (Data Series Graph) | Available graph types depend on the Category and Dimension settings. |
| Prop for X-Axis Labels | The property from the collection whose value is used to label the x-axis (horizontal axis). |
| X-Axis Title | The title of the graph's x-axis (horizontal axis). |
| Y-Axis Title | The title of the graph's y-axis (vertical axis). |
| Type (Single-Value Graph) | Graph types are gauge, meter, and thermometer. |
| Vertical | Select the check box to draw the graph with a vertical orientation. Clear the check box for a horizontal orientation. |
| Minimum | Specify a minimum value in a three-point data graph representation. You can use a literal value or the keywords V() and P(). The graph control will substitute the keywords with actual variable and/or current property values. |
| Maximum | Specify a maximum value in a three-point data graph representation. You can use a literal value or the keywords V() and P(). The graph control will substitute the keywords with actual variable and/or current property values. |
| Color | Specify a color for the current value representation. |
| Collection | The collection that the graph is bound to. Only collections associated with the current form are listed. |
| Available Properties | Properties from
the collection that can be included in the graph.
In a single-value graph, only one property can be selected and graphed. You can use the keyword V() in the first row of the Property to Graph column with a single-value graph. The variable can be accessed by scripting. |
| Add | Add to the graph the property currently selected in Available Properties. |
| Remove | Remove from the graph the property currently selected in Property to Graph. |
| Property to Graph | The name of a property to include in the graph. |
| Legend/Label | A legend displays the relationship between colors in the graph and collection properties. Add collection properties to include in the legend. By default, the property name is used as the text of the legend. Click Edit to change the text. |
| Up | Move the selected property up in the property order. |
| Color | Specify a color for the selected property. |
| Down | Move the selected property down in the property order. |
| Apply | Click to update the graph without closing the dialog box and returning to the form. |
| More | Click to specify additional attributes for the graph. |
