Plot Group Box
A plot displays data in a graphical view. The Plot group box contains different
graphic elements from different data sources such as Trends and Graphics.
Graphics Plot
You can drag-and-drop any graphics definition or manual view port from System
Browser onto a Report Definition to insert a graphics plot. This inserts a
placeholder graphics plot and sets the Name filter to the dragged and dropped
object.
When you execute a report containing a graphics plot, it displays the graphic image
associated with the dragged and dropped object. If the object is not present in any
of the graphics definitions, then an error message displays in the report
management section.
Applicable filters: Name filter

Report Definition to insert a trends plot. The system behaves the same way as
