Graphs and charts of tables and crosstabs are especially effective for presentations of results. This chapter explains how display data on a graph. The topics covered in this chapter include: ■ The Features of a Graph ■ Creating a Graph ■ Modifying a Graph

3.1 The Features of a Graph

The following figure shows a table and its resulting graph. This sample shows a bar graph, but several other styles are also available. Figure 3–1 A Worksheet table and Its Graph Key to Figure 3–1 :

a. A Worksheet in table format.

b. A graph of the data in the Worksheet. Each bar corresponds to one row on the table.

In this example, each bar represents the Profit SUM for a Region for the Calendar Year 1999. c. Graph legend. Each bar is represented in a different color. 3-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Desktop To display Worksheet data as a graph:

1.

Display the worksheet that you want to see as a graph. 2. Choose Graph | Show or click the Graph button on the worksheet tool bar. The first time you display a graph, the Graph Wizard walks you through the process of defining the graph’s features. Then, a graphical representation of the worksheet appears in the Graph window. 3. When you are finished working with the graph, click the Close button on Graph window. You can also click the Minimize button on the Graph window. The graph retains its design features when closed. The next time you open it, the graph has the same appearance. Figure 3–2 shows the features on a typical graph. Figure 3–2 Graph Window Key to Figure 3–1 :

a. Tool Bar - click a tool to work with the graph; click a color or pattern and drag it

onto the graph to change the data’s color or pattern; click the arrows to scroll the colors and patterns.

b. Y-Axis Scale - shows the scale appropriate for the data in the original table or

crosstab; you can reset the scale and add decimal points. c. Titles - additional labels that you can add to the graph. Four positions for the titles are Top, Left, Right, and Bottom. d. Top title. e. Legend - the color and label for data. f. Data - the graphical representation of the data in the figure, 3D bars.

3.1.1 The Graph Tool Bar

To work with the graph, use the Graph menu on the worksheet window or the Graph tool bar on the Graph window. To show or hide the Graph tool bar, choose Graph | Toolbar . The following figure identifies the icons on the Graph tool bar.
