CHAPTER 13 Working with Graphs
Users Guide 405
Pie graphs
Pie graphs typically show one series of data points with each data point shown
as a percentage of a whole. The following pie graph shows the sales for Stellar
printers for each quarter. You can easily see the relative values in each quarter.
(InfoMaker automatically calculates the percentages of each slice of the pie.)
You can have pie graphs with more than one series if you want; the series are
shown in concentric circles. Multiseries pie graphs can be useful in comparing
series of data.
Scatter graphs
Scatter graphs show xy data points. Typically you use scatter graphs to show
the relationship between two sets of numeric values. Non-numeric values, such
as string and DateTime datatypes, do not display correctly.
Scatter graphs do not use categories. Instead, numeric values are plotted along
both axes—as opposed to other graphs, which have values along one axis and
categories along the other axis.
For example, the following data shows the effect of speed on the mileage of a
sedan:
Speed Mileage

20 18
