• customizing

  How the graphic is displayed on the screen. This property is assigned a Web address (URL), which points to an XML file that describes the appearance of the business graphic on the screen (for example, color of the graphic, background color, fonts, and so on, or whether the graphic has a legend).

  You can also make these settings directly in the View Designer by using the Chart Designer tool. To call this tool, click the right mouse button on the UI element to call the context menu, then choose the Edit Customizing entry. See also Chart Designer.

  The BusinessGraphics properties dimension and fontFamily, which the metamodel provides itself, overwrite the Customizing settings if these are different.
