Use

In addition to the data from the data container the graphic can use information on display attributes such as colors and fonts to display the graphic. These visualization attributes are stored in customizing objects.

Customizing settings can be saved on the database where there are tables for general settings and for user-specific settings. For more information, see Customizing Objects in Database. They can also be transported to other systems.

The display attributes are already bundled in Customizing Objects which are instances of attributes bundles in the class builder.

Integration

The customizing objects have to be assigned to ports in the graphics proxy.

Features

General display attributes are grouped in the attribute bundle known as the display context, CL_CU_DISPLAY_CONTEXT. This attribute bundle can be used as an attribute in other attribute bundles, for example in CL_CU_DRAWING_AREA.

Activities

You can change Customizing settings either interactively in the graphic or by using the ABAP Objects interface. For more information, see Changing Appearance of Graphic.
