This form is used for creating report graphs. The descriptions of particular graph properties are in the following table:
Display name |
Display name of the graph |
Code name |
Code name of the graph |
Query |
Database query that extracts a dataset that will be displayed in the graph; it must return at least two columns - first one for categories, the other columns are used for values. |
Is stored procedure |
Determines if the specified query is a stored procedure. |
Graph type |
The following graph types are available:
Pie - pie graph, accepts only one column for values, the value in the third column is used for setting the 'pie pieces' offset
Bar - bar graph, accepts multiple values and displays them next to each other
Bar overlay - bar graph, accepts multiple values and displays them behind each other with the lower values in the front
Bar stacked - bar graph, accepts multiple values and displays them on top of each other
Bar percentage - bar graph, accepts multiple values, displays one column for each category and divides it by percentage determined by the values
Line - line graph, accepts multiple values and displays them as separate lines |
Use vertical bars |
If checked, the bars are displayed vertically instead of horizontally; used only for bar graphs |
Reverse y-axis |
Reverses the vertical axis; used only for bar and line graphs |
Use ten powers |
If large values are present in the graph, they are divided by appropriate ten powers and the division ratio is displayed with the y-axis title |
Show grid |
Displays a thin dotted line grid in the graph chart area; used only for bar and line graphs |
Fill curves |
Fills the space under the curves with a color; used only for line graphs |
Smooth curves |
Smooths the lines of the line graph |
Title |
Title of the graph |
X axis title |
Title of the horizontal axis of the graph |
Y axis title |
Title of the vertical axis of the graph |
Width |
Width of the graph image |
Height |
Height of the graph image |
Legend position |
Position of the legend in the graph |
Title font |
Determines the font properties of the graph title |
Axis font |
Determines the font properties of axis titles |
X-axis angle |
Determines the declination angle of X-axis descriptions; setting this parameter to 90 causes upright descriptions |
Y-axis angle |
Determines the declination angle of Y-axis descriptions |
Scale min |
Determines the minimum value that is required for an X axis category to be displayed |
Scale max |
Determines the maximum value that will be displayed on the Y axis of the graph |
Use colors |
Determines the colors used for graph items; accepts standard HTML color names or hexadecimal color codes divided by a semicolon; if it contains a lower number of colors than required, the remaining colors are generated automatically |
Use symbols |
Determines the symbols used for values in line graphs; accepts: Circle, Diamond, HDash, Plus, Square, Star, Triangle, TriangleDown, VDash, XCross; if None is entered, no symbols will be used |
Graph gradient |
Gradient of the graph background color; The From and To fields accept standard HTML color names or hexadecimal color codes, the Angle field sets gradient declination |
Chart gradient |
Color gradient of the graph chart; The From and To fields accept standard HTML color names or hexadecimal color codes, the Angle field sets gradient declination; used only for line and bar graphs |
Item gradient |
Color gradient of the items in the graph; The From field accepts standard HTML color names or hexadecimal color codes, the Angle field sets gradient declination; the To field is disabled here |
