Instead of embedding a graph in a report, you can use the Graph presentation style to create a report that is only a graph -- the underlying data is not displayed.
To use the Graph presentation style:
-
Select File>New from the menu bar.
The New dialog box displays.
-
Select the Object tab.
-
Select the Graph presentation style, then click OK.
-
On the Choose Data Source for Graph DataWindow page, specify the data you want retrieved into the report.
For more information, see Defining Reports
-
On the Define Graph Data page, enter the definitions for the series, categories, and values, as described in Associating data with a graph, and click Next.
Note that when using the Graph presentation style, the graph always graphs all rows; you cannot specify page or group.
-
On the Define Graph Style page, enter a title for the graph, select a graph type, and click Next.
-
On the Ready to Create Graph DataWindow page, review your specifications and click Finish.
A model of the graph displays in the Design view.
-
Specify the properties of the graph, as described in Defining a graph's properties.
-
Save the report in a library.
