Configuring Grid/Graphs in Grid and graph mode

Certain properties can be configured when a Grid/Graph is displayed as both a grid and a graph. These properties control how the grid and graph display within the borders of the Grid/Graph object.

Prerequisites

• This procedure assumes that you have added a Grid/Graph to the document. For instructions on adding Grid/Graphs, see Displaying reports in documents: Grid/Graphs.

• A Grid/Graph must be displayed as both a grid and a graph simultaneously for the properties described in this procedure to display.

To configure a Grid/Graph in Grid and graph mode

1. Open a document in the Document Editor. (How?)

2. If the Property List is not displayed, select Property List from the View menu.

3. Click the Grid/Graph to select it. Resizing handles display around it.

   If red hashed lines appear around it, you are in edit mode. Press ESC and click the object once.

4. To control the placement of the grid relative to the graph, set the Grid position property in the Property List: Appearance section. The options are:

   • Top: the grid is displayed on top of the graph

   • Bottom: the grid is displayed below the graph

   • Left: the grid is displayed to the left of the graph

   • Right: the grid is displayed to the right of the graph

5. By default, the grid and graph share the space available in the Grid/Graph equally. You can change the ratio of the width or height of the window that the grid uses, by changing the Grid area percent property in the Property List: Appearance section.

   • If Grid position is set to Top or Bottom, this property represents the height ratio.

   • If Grid position is set to Left or Right, this property represents the width percentage.

6. When you are done, click anywhere in the Layout area outside the Grid/Graph object.
