the chart is displayed and how it is formatted.
About this task
To specify Title chart format options:
Procedure
- On the Format page of the New
Chart wizard, select Title in the
tree.
The Title options are displayed.
- To display the title of the chart, select the Visible check
box.
- From the Type drop-down list, select Automatically
Generated if you want the chart title to be generated
automatically by using the axes columns. If you want to specify the
chart title by hand, select Custom Text.
- If you selected Custom Text, specify
the title of the chart in the Text field.
You can add a prompt value to a chart title to update the title
automatically when a different prompt value is specified.
For example:
if your chart is based on the Q.STAFF table and you want to insert
the PRMPT simple prompt value in the title of your chart, your expression
might be: %G for DEPT № = &PRMPT
, where DEPT
№
is the description text for the PRMPT simple prompt value
and %G
is the variable that puts the names of the
category column and the value column of your chart into the chart
title. Also, you can use the %D
variable, that puts
the current date in the title of your chart.
- Specify the font of the title in the Font field.
- Select the location of the chart from the Location list.
