Overview<\/h2>\n

IFS OI Explorer charts work together with user controls to display source data interactively. There are several types of charts available, including area chart, line chart, scatter chart, bar chart, and stacked bar chart.<\/p>\n

You can also mix different chart types together in one chart, such as a line chart and bar chart, by configuring a chart with different series.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This chart is driven by the user-selected entity (combo box) and product (option links).<\/p><\/div>\n

Quick Start<\/h2>\n

You can quickly configure a chart in just 3 easy steps: first choose the data, then configure the series and the X Axis.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Chart Data<\/h3>\n

Your chart must display some data, so this is your first step. Click the Data Selector<\/a> to add data.<\/p>\n

Tip: Click the Preview button to make sure you are getting data. If no data appears, the chart will be blank.<\/p>\n

Step 2. Series - Y Column<\/h3>\n

The type of series will often be pre-configured depending on what you have added from the Component Toolbox. The important thing when configuring the series is to choose the values that you want to display on the Y Axis<\/strong> - this is called the Y Column and comes from the set of data you chose in the previous step.<\/p>\n

Tip: If you want to use different data in this series here, select the Use Series Data check box.<\/p>\n

Step 3. X Axis<\/h3>\n

The last step is to choose the values to plot along the X Axis - this comes from the set of data you chose in the first step.<\/p>\n
