Chart Presentation Layout
Note that the charts you create are non-interactive copies of the charts created using other charting form sets. They cannot be edited, and reports cannot be generated.
Charts
Select from a list of chart form sets. Use the buttons on the local toolbar to Manage the rows in the list.
Chart
Select a chart type. You can use the check boxes on each row of the grid to include or exclude a chart from the presentation.
Note that a Ternary Diagram cannot be shown in a Chart Presentation Layout.
Form set
Select a chart form set of the type you have selected.
Title
This input is enabled if you have chosen to enter a user-defined title for each chart. See: Graph Titles below.
Column/Row
This input is enabled if you have chosen a Column-wise or a Row-wise custom layout. See: Layout below.
Layout
Choose an (Auto, Horizontal, Vertical, Custom) presentation layout:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto | A best-fit is calculated. |
| Horizontal | The charts are aligned horizontally. |
| Vertical | The charts are aligned vertically. |
| Custom | Choose between a Column-wise or a Row-wise layout. This will enable the specification of a Column number or a Row number, respectively, for each chart listed in the Charts grid. The numbers you enter will determine the display sequence of the charts. |
| To show more than one chart in the same column or row, enter the same column or row number for those charts. |
Graph Titles
A chart may comprise one or more graphs, Choose how the titles of the graphs on each chart are derived. By default, the titles on the graphs of the original charts are used. As an alternative you can:
- Choose to use the form set name as the title of each chart.
- Enter a user-defined title for each chart listed in the Charts grid.
- Select None if you do not want to add titles to the charts.
Label, theme and image generation settings can be configured on the Chart tab.
