Configuring the Graph Display

Choose the graph type: Lines, Bars, donut, pie chart, time curve, time data, Google Map

Some graphs may display additional settings panels.

X-axis field (abscissa): Define the abscissa field - Example: month
X-axis name: Name of the axis - Example: Month
Data series: Example: cnx Depending on the graph type, one or more series can be defined for display. Data series must be output column names (or their aliases) and must be separated by “;”. Series names can be defined in the Series title area as a list of mentions separated by “;”. See further down this page under Series title.
Special functions on output series If a data series is expressed as S (column_name), then the values are accumulated in the display order of the output.

Series title: * When you display several data series in a graph (or display a pie chart or a donut). Series take by default the name of the X-axis (abscissa) values. You can use this field to provide alternative labels for the X-axis values. The list must show the labels in the order in which the abscissa values arrive.

Y-axis Min and Y-axis Max: Normally, graph production automatically calibrates the Y axis according to the data to display. You can however impose the calibration of the axes by defining one of the min or max parameters. The grapher may nevertheless sometimes make certain decisions beyond your indications.

Example: Y-axis Min: 50

Series title: Enter the title(s) of your choice for the series in the text area, separated by ;

Y-axis name: Enter the name of your choice for the ordinate axis in the text area
X label angle: Choose the orientation angle of the abscissa axis texts
Graph width and Graph height: Enter the value in pixels for the width and height of the graph

Example: 850 for the width and 450 for the height
