GRAPH SETTINGS
GRAPH SETTINGS ( graphPicture ; xmin ; xmax ; ymin ; ymax ; xprop ; xgrid ; ygrid ; title {; title2 ; ... ; titleN} )
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| graphPicture | Picture | → | Picture variable |
| xmin | Integer, Date, Time | → | Minimum x-axis value for proportional graph (line or scatter plot only) |
| xmax | Integer, Date, Time | → | Maximum x-axis value for proportional graph (line or scatter plot only) |
| ymin | Integer | → | Minimum y-axis value |
| ymax | Integer | → | Maximum y-axis value |
| xprop | Boolean | → | TRUE for proportional x-axis; FALSE for normal x-axis (line or scatter plot only) |
| xgrid | Boolean | → | TRUE for x-axis grid; FALSE for no x-axis grid (only if xprop is TRUE) |
| ygrid | Boolean | → | TRUE for y-axis grid; FALSE for no y-axis grid |
| title | Text | → | Title(s) for graph legend(s) |
This command is not thread-safe, it cannot be used in preemptive code.
Description
GRAPH SETTINGS changes the graph settings for graph displayed in a form. The graph must have already been defined using the GRAPH command. GRAPH SETTINGS has no effect on a pie chart. This command must be called in the same process as the form.
Note: You must not call this command if the graph was generated using the GRAPH command with the Object type graphSettings parameter. Refer to the description of the GRAPH command for more information.
The xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax parameters all set the minimum and maximum values for their respective axes of the graph. If the value of any pair of these parameters is a null value (0, ?00:00:00?, or !00/00/00!, depending on the data type), the default graph values will be used. The xmin and xmax parameters are only taken into account for proportional graphs (xprop is True).
The xprop parameter turns on proportional plotting for line graphs (type 4), area graphs (type 5) and scatter graphs (type 6). When TRUE, it will plot each point on the x-axis according to the point’s value, and then only if the values are numeric, time, or date.
The xgrid and ygrid parameters display or hide grid lines. A grid for the x-axis will be displayed only when the plot is a proportional scatter or line graph.
The title parameter(s) labels the legend.
