Chart

The following topics present basic properties available to Chart components. See Chart Script Reference for details about more advanced properties.

Charts are unique among all components in that you can access many Chart properties via both simple script properties and low-level Chart API methods.

  • For information on using simple scriptable Chart properties, see the above sections. This approach produces scripts that are easier to read and maintain.

  • For information on low-level Chart API methods, see Chart Script Reference. The API provides full control over all aspects of Chart data and presentation, but may yield more complex and verbose scripts.

Note that scripted Charts are not good candidates for user-modification, so you should deselect ‘Enable Ad Hoc Editing’ in the Chart Properties dialog box.
