About graph types and sub-types

To present your worksheet data visually in Discoverer, you can choose from a wide range of graph types. For example:

• bar graph

• line graph

• pie graph

Each graph type has one or more variations, or sub-types. For example, the sub-types for the Bar graph type include the following:

• Bar

• Dual-Y Bar

• Percent

Some graphs also have dual-Y sub-types, which have two Y-axes. Dual-Y graphs are useful for showing the following types of data:

• data of different measures (such as region sales on the Y1-axis and profit on the Y2-axis)

• data of different scales (such as sales on the Y1-axis and percent of total sales on the Y2-axis)
