Charts with Multiple Curves Plotted Against One Y Axis

Multiple line graph curves can be plotted against the same Y axis, based on different source field/function combinations. The name for each curve appears in the legend. For example, you may want revenue, expected revenue, and net profit to appear as superimposed curves on the same line graph. To accomplish this, set the following property values in the Chart object definition:

• Data Point Field. Provide a comma-separated list of source fields, one for each curve to appear in the graph.
• Data Function. Provide a comma-separated list consisting of some of the following function names: SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, or PLOT. PLOT indicates that the Y values are derived directly from the values in the source field. The list of function names must have the same number of entries as the Data Point Field list. The order in the comma list determines the association with a data point field and title.
• Picklist Functions. Provide a comma-separated list of Y-axis titles, which identify the individual curves in the Legend. The list of titles must have the same number of entries as the Data Point Field list. The order in the comma list determines the association with a data point field and data function.
• Series Field. Remove any existing value(s) from this property; it must be blank. Otherwise, the multiple curves are converted to a Z axis.
• Multi Data Point. Set to TRUE. This indicates that multiple curves are to be plotted.

You should also remove the Show combo box and its label in the Applet Web Editor.
