Showing Results in Trellis Views
A Trellis view displays multidimensional data as a set of cells in a grid, with each cell displaying a subset of data shown as graphs or numbers. The following types of Trellis views are available:
- Simple Trellis. Simple Trellis views are appropriate if you want to compare like to like in a set of data. A Simple Trellis view displays a single inner graph type, for example a grid of multiple Bar graphs. The inner graphs always use a common axis; that is, the graphs have a synchronized scale.
- Advanced Trellis. Advanced Trellis views are appropriate if you want to monitor trends and see patterns in a set of data. An Advanced Trellis view displays a grid of small spark graphs. Measures can be shown as numbers or represented in various types of spark graphs. In an Advanced Trellis view, each measure column operates independently for drilling, axis scaling, and so on.
You can use the following types of graphs in Simple Trellis views:
- Bar (subtype Vertical)
- Bar (subtype Horizontal)
- Line
- Area
- Line-bar
- Pie
- Scatter
- Bubble
You can use the following types of visualizations in Advanced Trellis views:
- Numbers
- Microcharts of the following subtypes:
- Spark bar
- Spark line
- Spark area

- Properties related to the grid canvas, such as legend location (Simple Trellis views only)
- Properties related to graph size for the visualizations included in the Trellis view
- Properties that specify the method to be used to browse data — either scrolling or paging controls
- Whether the Trellis view listens to master-detail events
- Properties that control the appearance of the grid for the Trellis view and its visualizations, such as various style choices and the way that legends are displayed
- Properties that control the type of scale and the appearance of scale markers for each of the visualizations in the Trellis view (Simple Trellis views only)
- Properties that control the display of titles and labels (Simple Trellis views only)
