CHAPTER 15 Working with Graphs
DataWindow Designer User’s Guide 427
Changing a graph's position and size
When you first place a graph in a DataWindow object, it is in the foreground—
it sits above the bands in the DataWindow object. Unless you change this
setting, the graph displays in front of any retrieved data.
The initial graph is also moveable and resizable, so users have complete
flexibility as to the size and location of a graph at runtime. You can change
these properties.
❖ To specify a graph's position and size:
1 Select Properties from the graph's pop-up menu and then select the
Position page or the General page in the Properties view.
2 Select the settings for the following options on the Position property page:

Property page What it specifies
Setting Meaning
Layer Background — The graph displays behind other elements in
the DataWindow object.
Band — The graph displays in one particular band. If you
choose this setting, you should resize the band to fit the graph.
Often you will want to place a graph in the Footer band. As
users scroll through rows in the DataWindow object, the graph
remains at the bottom of the screen as part of the footer.
Foreground — (Default) The graph displays above all other
elements in the DataWindow object. Typically, if you choose
this setting, you also make the graph movable so it will not
obscure data while users display the DataWindow object.
Moveable The graph can be moved in the Preview view and at runtime.
Resizable The graph can be resized in the Preview view and at runtime.
Slide Left,
Slide Up
The graph slides to the left or up to remove extra white space.

space in a DataWindow object” on page 219.
