Using graphs in DataWindow objects
Graphs are used most often in DataWindow objects—the data
for the graph comes from tables in the database.
Graphs in DataWindow objects are dynamic
Graphs in DataWindow objects are tied directly to the data that is
in the DataWindow object. As the data changes, the graph is automatically
updated to reflect the new values.
Two techniques
You can use graphs in DataWindow objects in two ways:
-
By including a graph as a
control in a DataWindow objectThe graph enhances the display of information in a DataWindow object, such
as a tabular or freeform DataWindow object. This technique is described
in “Placing a graph in a DataWindow object”. -
By using the Graph presentation style
The entire DataWindow object is a graph. The underlying data is not visible.
This technique is described in “Using the Graph presentation
style”.
