Understanding Business Charts
Business charts are useful tools for presenting summary data. SQR provides two commands for creating charts: DECLARE-CHART and PRINT-CHART. It also provides a variety of chart types, including:
Line
Pie
Bar
Stacked bar
100 percent bar
Overlapped bar
Floating bar
Histogram
Area
Stacked area
100 percent area
XY scatter plot
High-low close
You can configure many attributes of SQR charts by activating three-dimensional effects or setting titles and legends. SQR charts are also portable: you can move them from one hardware platform to another.
You can prepare a business chart by using data that is held in an array, just as you would for a cross-tabular report. If you have already written a cross-tabular report, you need to take one additional step to create a chart using the data that is already collected in the array.
