 | 6.3. Defining the Graphing Object |  |
The most significant aspect of the tab is that it is the place where we link our graph object to a query source. We also can precisely control the size and location of the graph on the report give it a title and assign a base font that can be used throughout the rest of the graph object's definition or overridden by exception.
The tab provides the following options:
From the pull down list select the query source that provides the columns containing the values you want graphed.
It is easiest to simply drag the graph object in the report definition and resize it with your mouse. However, for very precise control you may enter X and Y coordinates for the location and a width and height defined in inches.
You may click the button to define the characteristics of a base font for your graph. Then, on other tabs in the Graph Editor window, simply check Use Base Font to select it for use on that element of the graph.
Enter the title you want to appear above (but within) your graph.
Next we will define the tab.
