Charts (found in graphical reports) provide a graphical representation of data.
Values or data points are displayed in formats such as bars, lines, filled areas,
and pie charts. These data points are grouped into series that are identified with
unique colors.
In many chart types, one data point from each series is grouped together by
category across an axis. Categories are plotted along the x-axis, while values
are plotted along the y-axis. A two-dimensional chart shows series next to each
other, while a three-dimensional chart plots series along the z-axis. A chart can
also have a title and a legend.
If you are in a graphical (chart) report, you can format how the report is
displayed. The changes you make to a report’s format affect only your view of
the report. The changes do not affect how other CMS users see the report.
To format a chart report, selecting Format Chart or Sort by from the Format
menu list or the right mouse button pop-up menu. The Chart Format Options
window appears.
The Chart Format Options window has seven tabs: General, 3D Effects, Axis,
Type, Title, Legend, and Data Labels. The following sections describe each of
the tabs.
