About the Graph Wizard

The Graph Wizard provides an easy way for you to add a wide variety of graphs to both paper-based and JSP-based Web reports. Reports Builder uses the information you specify on each page of the wizard to create an XML definition that describes the graph and renders to resulting look-and-feel of the graph at runtime.

While the Graph Wizard enables you to create and edit the attribute values and layout of a graph, there are additional attributes that are not exposed through the Graph Wizard. To customize your graph XML definition beyond the scope of the Graph Wizard, you can directly edit the XML in the graph's Graph Settings property (for paper-based reports), or in the Web Source view (for JSP-based Web reports). The full list of attributes available is defined in the DTD file, graph.dtd.

Note: The graph.dtd is available in the following locations:

Reports built with previous versions of Oracle Reports containing Oracle Graphics 6i charts will continue to run if the Oracle Graphics 6i runtime is installed on the same computer in a separate ORACLE_HOME. However, this is not a supported configuration, and Oracle will not fix bugs that result from this configuration. For more information, see Displaying Oracle Graphics 6icharts in Oracle Reports 10g.
