Referencing parts of a graph

You use dot notation to reference these display properties. For example, one of the properties of a graph’s title is whether the text is italicized or not. That information is stored in the boolean Italic property in the TitleDispAttr property of the graph.

For example, to italicize title of graph gr_emp, code:

gr_emp.TitleDispAttr.Italic = TRUE

Similarly, to turn on autoscaling of a graph’s Values axis, code:

gr_emp.Values.Autoscale = TRUE

To change the label text for the Values axis, code:

gr_emp.Values.Label = "New label"

To change the alignment of the label text in the Values axis, code:

gr_emp.Values.LabelDispAttr.Alignment = Left!
