Category Chart

A Category Chart defines the header for an abstract category dataset that can be used for creating a variety of two dimensional charts.

Category Chart (Categorychart type) is found in the Business Graphs group in the Tool Box view.

The CATEGORYCHART element defines the header for an abstract category dataset that can be used for creating a variety of two dimensional charts such as category charts. The categories are defined by the CATEGORY element and its "key" attribute, which has to be unique within a CATEGORYCHART. Within a CATEGORY, CATEGORYITEMS define the values within the category. Within one category, the "key" values of individual CATEGORYITEM elements has to be unique. The resulting chart is drawn automatically. See Working with Business Graphs for additional information.
