X-Y Charts

Use X-Y charts to examine the relationship between two Attributes for a set of records.

You create an X-Y chart by selecting the records of interest and then either specifying the Attributes you want to plot, or by selecting a report template that specifies the information to be plotted. Report templates are managed by your Granta MI Data Administrator.
  1. Click Reports on the toolbar.
    The Record List shows the currently-selected records.
  2. Add or delete records from the list, as required, then click X-Y Chart.
  3. If templates have been configured for your database, you can select one from the Report Template list and then click Plot Chart.
  4. If no templates are available, or if you just want to define your own chart, select the X- and Y-axis Attributes and range settings. Auto-scale will scale the chart to automatically show all the selected records.
  5. Optional: Add a Chart Title, if desired.
  6. Click Plot Chart.
  • Click View The Data to view the underlying chart data in a table.
  • Click a bubble to bring the corresponding record to the top of the legend.

    To see which bubble a particularly interesting record corresponds to, click the colored line in the legend: in the chart, the corresponding bubble is highlighted.

  • Click Modify Chart in the toolbar at the top of the page to return to the Chart Properties page and modify the chart axis settings.
