Formatting Lines in Line and Combo Charts

You can specify display options for lines in line and combo charts. For example, you can display lines in separate rows, stacked as a percentage of the total of all values, or stacked as absolute values.

To format lines in line and combo charts:

  1. Open a report and select a line or combo chart.
  2. In Chart Properties, click Format Chart button.
  3. In the Line Options tab, define the line type, and then click OK
    • Rows—Displays the line sets in separate rows. For example, if you define the 3D depth as nonzero, the lines are displayed in separate rows, from front to back.

    • Percent—Displays the line sets stacked on top of each other, normalized to 100%. As each line set is drawn, its values are added to previous values displayed and are shown as percentages of the total of all values.

    • Stack—Displays the line sets stacked. As each line set is drawn, its values are added to previous values

Note:

You can define styles for the lines representing the current data set. See Defining Styles for Data Sets.
