Associating data with a graph

When using a graph in a DataWindow object, you associate axes of the graph with columns in the DataWindow object.

The only way to get data into a graph in a DataWindow object is through columns in the DataWindow object. You cannot add, modify, or delete data in the graph except by adding, modifying, or deleting data in the DataWindow object.

You can graph data from any columns retrieved into the DataWindow object. The columns do not have to be displayed.

NoteAbout the examples The process of specifying data for a graph is illustrated below using the Printer table in the EAS Demo DB.

StepsTo specify data for a graph:

  1. If you are creating a new graph, the Graph Data dialog box displays. Otherwise, select Properties from the graph’s pop-up menu and select the Data page in the Properties view.

  2. Fill in the boxes as described in the sections that follow, and click OK.
