The PowerBuilder class grDispAttr is used to specify the appearance of text objects on a graph. There are grDispAttr objects for graph Titles, Legends, Pie Graph text, and two (DispAttr and LabelDispAttr) for each of the three axes (Category, Series, and Value) in a graph.
To refer to a property of a grDispAttr property, use this syntax:
graphcontrolname.axisname.grdispattrname.property
For example:
gr_1.Series.DispAttr.Italic gr_1.Category.LabelDispAttr.DisplayExpression
A grDispAttr object has no events.
