Elements and Attributes Dependent on Chart Type (GRAPH command)

Elements and attributes dependent on the chart type are those that exist only in a specific chart type. They include bars (in bar charts), lines and areas (in line charts), markers (in scatterplots), boxes (in boxplots), and pie sectors (in pie charts). These elements and their attributes are usually applied only when the template chart and the requested chart are of the same type. Some elements or their attributes may override the default settings across chart type.

• Color and pattern are always applied except for pie charts. The template overrides the system default.
• Scale axis lines are applied across chart types.
• Interval axis lines are applied from interval axis to interval axis. Interval axis bins are never applied.
• If the template is a 3-D bar chart and you request a chart with one category axis, attributes of the first axis are applied from the template. If you request a 3-D bar chart and the template is not a 3-D chart, no category axis attributes are applied.
