Graphs

What is the difference between Value, Category and Series?

• Value is the dependent variables (y axis)
• Category is the by component (x axis)
• Series is the third component in a 3D graph (z axis)

How do I use the ObjectAtPointer( ) function?

The ObjectAtPointer( ) function will allow the user to drill down on clicked graph data. It has three arguments: GraphObject, SeriesNumber, and DataPoint.

The following script is for a datawindow control’s clicked event. It identifies what graph object was clicked, if it is a category or value, it retireves the data in a second DataWindow based o the passed argument.

GrObjectType    ClickedObject
Long        ll_dept_num
String        ls_deptnum
Integer        li_ret, li_series, li_category

ClickedObject = this.ObjectAtPointer(‘gr_1’, li_series, li_category)

//If the userr clicked data or category, find out which one and retrieve second dw  with argument
IF ClickedObject = TypeData! OR ClickedObject = TypeCategory! THEN
   Ls_deptnum = this.CategoryName(‘gr_1’, li_category)
   Ll_deptnum = long(ls_deptnum)
   Dw_detail.title = “Employees in dept “ + ls_deptnum
   Dw_detail.Retrieve(ll_deptnum)
   Dw_detail.show( )
ELSE
   MessageBox(parent.title, “Click a department to see employee names”)
END IF
