Defining a graph's properties
This section describes properties of a graph. To define the properties of a graph,
you use the graph’s Properties view. For general information about the
property pages, see “Using the graph's Properties view” on page 410.
Using the General page in the graph's Properties view
You name a graph and define its basic properties on the General page in the
graph’s Properties view.
❖ To specify the basic properties of a graph:
• Select Properties from the graph’s pop-up menu and then select the
General page in the Properties view.
About the model
graph in the Design
view
As you modify a graph’s properties, InfoMaker updates the model graph shown
in the Design view so that you can get an idea of the graph’s basic layout:
• InfoMaker uses the graph title and axis labels you specify.
• InfoMaker uses sample data (not data from your report) to illustrate series,
categories, and values.
In Preview view, InfoMaker displays the graph with data.
Naming a graph
Typically, you do not need to name a graph (the name is used to refer to the
graph in PowerBuilder scripts).
❖ To name a graph:
• On the General properties page for the graph, assign a meaningful name to
the graph in the Name box.
