Graphs
Discussion
Collections are generic objects that group or list other types of objects. You can group the Graphs objects in a Report object into a Graphs collection. Using a Graphs collection, you can operate on the entire group of Graph objects at once rather than one at a time.
Graphs present report data in a number of formats that emphasize different statistical features. For example, pie charts show the relationship of a category to the whole whereas clustered bar graphs show the trend of categories over time.

Example
This example opens a report, adds a new Graph object to the Graphs collection, and saves the report.
Sub Main() Dim objPPRep as Object Set objPPRep = CreateObject("CognosPowerPlay.Report") objPPRep.Open "C:\Cubes and Reports\Trend.ppr" objPPRep.Graphs.Add 5 objPPRep.Save objPPRep.Close Set objPPRep = NothingEnd Sub
