Using graphs in applications
You can use graphs in DataWindow objects and in windows. You specify
the properties of a graph, such as its type and title, the same
way in a DataWindow object as in a window.
Using graphs in user objects
You can also use graphs in user objects. Everything in this
chapter about using graphs in windows also applies to using graphs
in user objects.
The major differences between using a graph in a DataWindow object and using
a graph in a window (or user object) are:
-
Specifying the data for the graph
In DataWindow objects, you associate columns in the database with
the axes of a graph. In windows, you write scripts containing PowerScript functions
to populate a graph. -
Specifying the location of the graph
In DataWindow objects, you can place a graph in the foreground and
allow users to move and resize the graph at runtime, or you can
place a graph in a band and prevent movement. In windows, graphs
are placed like all other window controls.
