As mentioned in Executing Queries, one-line basic lists, statistics and ranked lists can be displayed in graphical format. On the Graphics, you can define this graphical output depending on the values you choose to display and the graphic type you use.

To generate a graphic, text/value pairs are passed to SAP Business Graphics. When calling the graphic, you choose the values by placing the cursor accordingly (see Executing Queries). The relevant texts are generated automatically. The text for a particular value derives from the contents of the non-numeric fields in the line of the list where this value occurs.

Under No. of displayed values, you specify how many number values you want to display in the graphic. SAP Business Graphics can display up to 32 text/value pairs. All the specifications you make on this screen are initial values for the graphic display. You can change these values using the functions in the SAP Business Graphics menu.

If you mark the field as Define at runtime then you can specify the number of values to be displayed when the query is executed (type of graphic, text and color display, or the number of values to be displayed). Those options chosen on the graphics screen are used as defaults.

The option Define at runtime is always set to default every time a basic list, statistic or ranked list is re-defined.
