8. Horizontal and vertical axes are defined by the chart type or number of expressions included in the chart; however, you can edit the axes attributes. If you are creating a chart that uses numeric fields, you can also define numeric axes attributes.
| | • If you specify one set of numeric axes attributes (minimum range, maximum range, and tick unit), these attributes are specified for the X and Y axes. For XY (scatter) charts, you should not set individual numeric axes attributes for the X and Y axes. • For bubble charts, you should not specify numeric axes attributes because they override the calculated values provided by the underlying expression and users have to zoom in/out to properly view chart values. |
For detailed information on the Axes fields, see Chart Dialog Box: Legend Tab.
9. Click the Legend tab. The Legend panel displays.
10. Define the legend for your chart. For more information, see Chart Dialog Box: Legend Tab.
