Graph Data Components

The following table lists the components that actually represent the data in a graph.

Component

Description

Graph Types

TwoDMarker
(get2DMarker)

A bar of data; bars of the same color generally represent a series of data

Bar graphs, pareto graphs; area or line graphs where the Series.MarkerType property is set to MT_BAR

DataMarker

A point of data; data markers of the same shape and color represent a series of data

Line graphs; bar or area graphs where the Series.MarkerType property is set to MT_MARKER; The MarkerDisplayed property must be set to true for data markers to appear

DataLine

A line that represents a series of data

Line graphs; bar and area graphs where Series.MarkerType is set to MT_MARKER; Note: The Graph.LineDataLineDisplayed property must be set to true for the data line to appear.

AreaMarker

A filled area that represents a series of data

Area graph; bar and line graphs where Series.MarkerType is set to MT_AREA

Slice

A slice; slices of the same color represent a series of data

Pie graphs, including ring graphs, pie-bar graphs, and ring-bar graphs

ThreeDMarker
(get3DMarker)

Any marker on a 3-D graph; a bar on a 3-D bar graph, a cube in a floating cube graph, a ribbon in a ribbon graph, and so on

3-D graphs

StockMarker

A marker that represents data in a stock graph; markers of the same color normally identify a series
