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 object
The 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.
