There are several differences between the graphs and Graph DataWindow objects in PowerBuilder .NET and PowerBuilder Classic.
The appearance of existing graph styles has been improved in PowerBuilder .NET, and these styles are available.
You can customize the configuration of graph colors or the brushes arrangement. In 3-D graphs with axis frames, you can choose the brush for each frame. See Axis Frames for Three-Dimensional Graphs.
There is a new value for the Legend property. This value, Default, is the initial value for the graph's legend. If you change the value from this to another one, you cannot reset the legend to Default.
The Tooltip.property works a little differently in PowerBuilder .NET graphs.
Also, you can use tooltips to display the value of data points in graphs.
These properties are not supported for graphs in PowerBuilder .NET.
| Property | Notes |
|---|---|
| axis.backedgepicture | You can change the appearance of pictures for the axis frames in some 3D graphs. See Picture.property in the DataWindow Reference for descriptions of all the properties available for pictures.
When you set an axis to display a picture, you can use most of the properties included for pictures, except: clip.bottom, clip.left, clip.right, clip.top, mode, scale.x, and scale.y. |
| Render3D | Instead of using Render3D to make bar and column graphs three-dimensional, select the Solid Bar (Bar3DObj) or Solid Column (Col3DObj) graph. Render3D is maintained only for backward compatibility. |
