Creating graphs in Discoverer 8-5 Discoverer enables you to change the font of each graph component. About graph types and sub-types To present your worksheet data visually in Discoverer, you can choose from a wide range of graph types. For example: ■ bar graph ■ line graph ■ pie graph Each graph type has one or more variations, or sub-types. For example, the sub-types for the Bar graph type include the following: ■ Bar ■ Dual-Y Bar ■ Percent Some graphs also have dual-Y sub-types, which have two Y-axes. Dual-Y graphs are useful for showing the following types of data: ■ data of different measures such as region sales on the Y1-axis and profit on the Y2-axis ■ data of different scales such as sales on the Y1-axis and percent of total sales on the Y2-axis About graph types available in Discoverer The table below shows the graph types that are available in Discoverer. Graph icon Graph category and description Area - graphs to show trends or changes in data using filled-in areas. This graph is useful when showing accumulations or cumulative data. Bar - graphs to compare values using vertical bars. Each value is represented by a single bar. Bar graphs shows variation over a period of time or illustrates comparisons between values. The stacked sub-type shows each value’s relationship to a whole. Bar graphs can have two Y axes for more information, see Notes about creating dual-Y graphs . Circular - graphs to show directional data and cyclical patterns in data. Combination - graphs that combines bars, lines, and areas. This graph type emphasizes one or more series of data. You must have at least two series to use this graph type. Shows the relationship of one series to another. Most often used as a Dual-Y graph, where different series correspond to different Y axes. Horizontal Bar - graphs to compare values using horizontal bars. This graph type is identical to a bar graph except that the bars lie horizontally, rather than standing vertically. The stacked sub-type shows each value’s relationship to a whole. Bar graphs can have two Y axes for more information, see Notes about creating dual-Y graphs .
