Chart View

Chart title

The title displayed at the top of the chart. You can either enter a title in the field, or click the browse button (ellipsis) at the right to open the Edit Title dialog box and specify a title using a dynamic expression.

Chart type

Area

Calculates the interception point of the X value and the Y value, filling in the area below it, displaying the trend of each value over time or category.

Bar

Compares values across categories, in a horizontal display (with the category given in the vertical, Y, axis).

Column

Compares values across categories in a vertical display (with the category given in the horizontal, X, axis).

Line

Displays the results of a data series as a continuous line drawn from point to point (value to value) of the X axis.

Pie

Shows how the values in a single data series relate to the sum of the results, with each value depicted as a percentage of the total value.

Doughnut

[Flash runtime only] Displays the results in a pie chart that is hollow and may depict multiple series.

Combo

[Flash runtime only] A combination of overlaid column and line chart.

Bubble

Displays a set of numeric values as circles, the size of each circle corresponding to its value.

Scatter

A chart usually used to show the correlation between multiple datasets. Each data series is displayed as a set of points whose values are represented by the position of the points on the chart. Different shapes (such as a circle or diamond) are used for the different data series.

Candlestick

A type of stock chart that is a combination of a line chart and bar chart, generally used to describe price movements of an equity over time. Each bar in the chart represents the full price range (from highest to lowest price) over a given time interval, while the box indicates the opening and closing price for that interval.

HLOC

Illustrates price movements over time using a set of bars that represent the highest and lowest prices over a specified unit of time, such as one hour or one week. A tick mark on the left and one on the right indicate the opening and closing prices, respectively.

Data series

Clustered

For bar or column charts, compares the values of a category by depicting one next to the other.

Stacked

For bar, column, line or area charts, shows the relationship of each value of a category as a part of a single bar or line.

Overlaid

For area or line charts, overlays the values of a category to show the relationship of each value to the whole.

3-D clustered

Adds a third dimension to the clustered display.

3-D stacked

Adds a third dimension to the stacked display.

3-D overlaid

Adds a third dimension to the overlaid display.

Area contour and Line contour

Slope

The edges of the area are drawn smoothly.

Curve

The edges of the area are drawn as sharper corners.

Elbow

The edges of the area are drawn as right angles.

Pie labels

Auto

Inserts the value inside the pie or doughnut segment if possible.

Inside

Inserts the value inside the pie or doughnut segment.

Outside

Places the value outside the pie or doughnut segment.

Callout

Draws a line from the pie or doughnut segment to the value placed outside.

None

No label.

Inner radius

For doughnut charts, the radius of the hollow part of the doughnut.

Category Axis

Field

The field whose values are used as the categories of the chart.

Axis label

A name for the category axis. You can either enter a title in the field, or click the browse button (ellipsis) at the right to open the Edit Title dialog box and specify a title using a dynamic expression.

Value Axis

Axis label

A name for the value axis. You can either enter a title in the field, or click the browse button (ellipsis) at the right to open the Edit Title dialog box and specify a title using a dynamic expression.

Value range

Auto-adjust

Determines the points and increments of the value axis according to the resulting values.

Base at zero

Sets the first point of the value axis at 0.

Fixed range

User-defined range, as follows:

Range slider

Adds a slider to the chart. Although the value range begins at 0, the slider range is defined according to the same values defined in Fixed range previously.

Dynamic range slider

Same as the range slider, but the value axis begins at the Minimum value rather than at 0.

Tick marks

Number of marks to be indicated on the axis.

Data Animation

Effect

None

No animation.

Interpolate

Calculates how to connect data points, in order to fill in gaps and create a continuous line or series of values. The interpolation method is defined according to:

Slide in / out

Displays the chart data in a sliding motion, according to the following parameters:

Fold / Unfold

Displays the chart data as "unfolding" motion, according to the following parameters:
