Configuring the Coordinates Property of a Chart Element

The Coordinates property of a chart element specifies coordinates for the Graphic and AxisLabel elements. This property is required for the following items:

• Graphic elements

• X-axis labels in a scatter chart

• X-axis and z-axis labels in a histogram chart

Rectangle, Ellipse, and Line apply only to the scatter chart. HorizLine and HorizArea apply to all charts.

A histogram chart requires the following items:

• Coordinates for the axes that the user categorizes

• A value in the Divisions property.

The value you enter depends on the following type of element you specify:

• AxisLabel. You specify the minimum and maximum values for the Axis Id. You enter two numbers that specify the following coordinates:

  • Minimum value

  • Maximum value

  For example:

  0 1000000
  

  This example sets a range that includes 0 through 1 million.

• Rectangle, Line, or Ellipse. You enter four numbers that specify the following coordinates:

  • Left

  • Bottom

  • Top

  • Right

• For example:

  60 1000 80 3000
  

  This example sets the coordinates so that the left side of the element occurs at coordinate 60, the bottom at coordinate 1000, the top at coordinate 80, and the right side at coordinate 3000.

• HorizArea. You enter four numbers that specify the following coordinates:

  • minYaxisValue

  • maxYaxisValue

  20 50
  

  This example configures Siebel CRM to draw the horizontal area between y coordinate 20 and y coordinate 50.

• HorizLine. You enter one number that specifies the YaxisValue. For example:

  40000
  

  This example configures Siebel CRM to draw a horizontal line at a y coordinate of 40000.
