3.8 Charts
Charts display grouped and aggregated data in a graphical manner. The 'Properties' and 'Data Binding' dialog boxes for Charts provide many options for customization, including style, formatting, axis information, ranking, sorting, and so on. All of these various options are also accessible through script, as well as many others.
There are two levels at which you can target a Chart script:
• Chart Data Binding: Modify properties of Chart's data binding by accessing the bindingInfo attribute. See Modifying Chart Properties and Modifying a Chart Data Binding for more information.
• Chart Structure: Modify the primitive objects which define a Chart (Scales, Forms, VisualFrames, GraphElements, etc.) by using low-level Chart API functions. See Modifying a Chart Element using API Functions and Creating a Chart Using API Functions for more information.
Both methods enable you to modify an existing Chart or build a completely new Chart from scratch. The Chart API provides the highest level of control over chart appearance, but requires a more complex syntax. See Chart Script Tutorial for examples.
