The chart is removed from the report.
Working with charts
You work with charts by setting their properties on the Properties tab. The Properties tab
displays the properties of the selected report element. When you select a chart, the
Properties tab displays the properties that are relevant to charts.
For more information on the Properties tab, see ”Java Report Panel interface tour” on
page 29.
Setting page layout for charts
You can set the page layout for each page in a Web Intelligence report. You can do the
following:
• position a chart on the report page
• position a chart relative to another chart or table to avoid overlap
• start a chart on a new report page
Positioning charts on the report page
You position charts on the report page by specifying a position for the chart in relation to
the left edge and right edge of the report page.
Setting the position of a chart on the report page
1. Right-click the chart and click Edit Format.
The chart properties appear in the Properties tab.
2. Open the Page layout > Position property group on the Properties tab.
3. Type the position from the report left edge in the Left edge box and the position from
the report right edge in the Right edge box.
Positioning charts in relation to other charts or tables
If you have more than one block (table, chart, or form) in your report, you can use relative
positioning. Relative positioning allows you to position a selected block (for example, a
chart) in relation to other blocks in the report.
If new data on the database modifies the size of the tables or charts, relative positioning
ensures that the different tables and charts display correctly without overlapping each
other.
Note: If you position a chart in relation to another block (that is, a chart, table, or form),
the position of the related block changes automatically, if you reposition the chart.
Positioning a chart in relation to another chart or table
To position a chart in relation to another chart or table:
1. Right-click the chart and click Edit Format.
