the report.
Band — The graph displays in one particular band. If you
choose this setting, you should resize the band to fit the graph.

you scroll through rows in the report, the graph remains at the
bottom of the screen as part of the footer.

elements in the report. Typically, if you choose this setting,
you also make the graph movable so it will not obscure data
while you display the report.
