Note: This topic applies to the graphing tool, which is supported for backward compatibility. We recommend that, if you want to add charts or gauges to a form, use the newer FusionCharts tool instead. For more information, see Adding Charts or Gauges to a Form.
| Layout | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Set the relative position of the
chart, title, and legend within a graph component. For example,
to position the graph on the left, the graph title on top,
and the legend on the right, select Chart - Left / Title
- Top / Legend - Right. To specify custom positions, sizes, and margins for the three objects, select Custom. You can then set layout values on the notebook tabs Chart, Title, and Legend. |
| Width | Specify the width of the current object (chart, title, or legend) as a percentage of the width of the entire graph control container. For example, to set the width of a chart as half the width of the container, specify the value 50 (50 percent of container width). If you enter the value 0, the object is not displayed. |
| Height | Specify the height of the current object (chart, title, or legend) as a percentage of the height of the entire graph control container. For example, to set the height of a chart as half the height of the container, specify the value 50 (50 percent of container height). If you enter the value 0, the object is not displayed. |
| Left | Specify the distance from the left edge of the current object (chart, title, or legend) to the left edge of the graph control container as a percentage of the width of the container. |
| Top | Specify the distance from the top edge of the current object (chart, title, or legend) to the top edge of the graph control container as a percentage of the height of the container. |
| Anchor | This feature is not implemented. |
| Top, Bottom, Left, Right (Margin) | Specify margins around the current chart or legend in graphical units. In a chart that has axis titles, margin settings determine the distance between the chart and the titles. In a legend, margin settings determine the distance between legend items and the outside edges of the legend object. |
| Graph Border Box | Select the check box to enclose the entire graph component container in a box border. |
| Axes | Description |

| Title Position | Specify whether you want the title for the X-axis to appear above the graph (Top) or below it (Bottom). The default is Bottom. |
| Label Orientation | (Optional) Specify what orientation
you want for the X-axis data labels:
|
| Y-Axis | |
| Maximum | The maximum limit of the value range measured along the Y-axis. |
| Minimum | The minimum limit of the value range measured along the Y-axis. |
| Title Position | Specify whether you want the title for the Y-axis to appear to the Left or the Right of the graph. The default is Left. |

you want for the title of the Y-axis:
|
| Auto Round/Truncate | When selected, this option does
two things:
|
| Levels... | Enabled only if the Auto Round/Truncate option is selected. When enabled and clicked, opens the Edit Divisors dialog box, which allows you to set the options to display the scale markers on the Y-axis. |
| Legend | Description |
| Border Box | Select the check box to enclose the legend in a box border. |

Buttons (Print/Copy/Save) |
Select this check box to enable Print, Copy, and Save buttons when the mouse pointer hovers over a graph component at run time. Clear the check box to disable display of the buttons. |

To improve the formatting of the tooltip text, specify the data type properties for the graph element (for example, Underlying Type, Length, Decimal Point Position, and so on) or specify an existing Component Class with proper data type properties. |
