Composite Charts

Top Previous Next

Composite charts were designed for combining other ("simple") charts together. There are two types of composite charts:

•	Mixed charts, allowing several simple charts to share a single plot and axes, while each of them has its own dataset and renderer.

•	Combined charts, designed to share a single common axis between several simple charts having separate plots, datasets and renderers.

Mixed Charts

There are two types of mixed charts:

•	Mixed Category Chart, joining several Category Charts

•	Mixed XY Chart, joining several XY Charts

Combined Charts

There are four types of combined charts:

•	Combined Domain Category Chart, allowing several Category Charts to share a single domain axis

•	Combined Range Category Chart, allowing several Category Charts to share a single range axis

•	Combined Domain XY Chart, allowing several XY Charts to share a single domain axis

•	Combined Range XY Chart, allowing several XY Charts to share a single range axis

Adding Sub-charts To Composite Charts

Technically, composite chart act as a container component for its sub-charts.

To add new sub-chart to a composite chart in a GUI Builder, drag a chart of proper type from the Component Palette and drop it over the composite chart. A new sub-chart will be added.

Editing and Deleting Sub-charts

Properties of a sub-chart may be accessed at any time by selecting this sub-chart in the Resources Window.

To delete a sub-chart in a GUI Builder, select it in the Resources Window and press Delete, or select Delete from the context menu.
