TEMPLATE Subcommand (GRAPH command)

TEMPLATE uses an existing chart as a template and applies it to the chart requested by the current GRAPH command.

  • The specification on TEMPLATE is a chart file saved during a previous session.
  • The general rule of application is that the template overrides the default setting, but the specifications on the current GRAPH command override the template. Nonapplicable elements and attributes are ignored.
  • Three types of elements and attributes can be applied from a chart template: those dependent on data, those dependent on the chart type, and those dependent on neither.
