Minimum Object Requirements for Each Graph Style

The table below provides requirements for graph styles. Some graphs require specific types of attributes and metrics to be useful.

Graph Style	Minimum Requirements (unless otherwise noted)
Area	One attribute, one metric
Bar	One attribute, one metric
Line	One attribute, one metric
Pie	One attribute, one metric
Scatter	One attribute, two metrics Note: If there are more than two metrics, the graph may not be useful because scatter graphs are used to plot two values at a time.
Polar	One attribute, two metrics
Radar	One attribute, one metric
Bubble	One attribute, three metrics Note: If there are more than three metrics, the graph may not be useful because bubble graphs are used to plot two values (a first and second metric) at a time. The third metric is represented by the size of each bubble.
Stock: Hi-Lo	One attribute, two metrics
Stock: Hi-Lo-Open	One attribute, three metrics
Stock: Hi-Lo-Open-Close	One attribute, four metrics
Histogram	One attribute, one metric
3D: Risers	One attribute, one metric
3D: Floating	One attribute, one metric
3D: Connect Group	One attribute, three metrics
3D: Connect Series	One attribute, one metric
3D: Surface	One attribute, one metric
3D: Scatter	One attribute, three metrics
Gauge	One attribute, one metric
Funnel	One attribute, one metric
Pareto	One attribute, one metric
Boxplot	One attribute, exactly five metrics
Gantt	One attribute, two metrics
