Graph Objects
The Object Palette features several types of graph objects -- trend, bar, pie, radar, and XY graphs-- that are useful for comparing data. Trend graphs are used to display a single variable per trace over time. Bar, pie, radar, and XY graphs are designed to display information returned by a tabular element in your data attachment. Based on your data attachment, substitutions are created that will be passed into drill down displays. NOTE: Some graph objects (e.g.: the bar graph legend, pie wedges and legend) cache their colors and therefore do not update when a custom color definition changes. You will need to either to restart RTView or reload the display to see the color change for these objects.
 
Trend Graph
Trend graphs (class name: obj_trendgraph02) are useful for plotting a single value per trace over time and for displaying historical data stored by the Historian.
Bar Graph
Bar graphs (class name: obj_bargraph) are useful for comparing columns or rows of numeric data from a tabular data element returned by your data attachment.
Pie Graph
Pie graphs (class name: obj_pie) are useful for comparing values from a single column or a single row of the tabular data element returned by your data attachment.
Radar Graph
Radar graphs (class name: obj_radar) are useful for comparing columns or rows of numeric data from a tabular data element returned by your data attachment.
XY Graph
XY graphs (class name: obj_xygraph) are useful for comparing pairs of values from a tabular data element returned by your data attachment.
Stock Chart  
Stock charts (class name: obj_stockchart) are useful for displaying live and archived stock data.
Legend
This object (class name: obj_legend) is useful for displaying a legend that is too lengthy for the built-in legends of the graph objects. The legend is easily resizable and can be used in conjunction with any object on the Graphs tab, excluding the Heatmap,
Heatmap
Heatmaps (class name: obj_heatmap) display indexed hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles. A rectangle exists for each index and, when attached to data, each is filled with smaller rectangles representing sub-indexes, known as nodes.
Sparkline
Sparkline graphs (class name: obj_sparkline) are generally used to present trends and variations in a simple and condensed way.
Status History
Status History charts (class name: obj_statushistory) show discrete status values as horizontal bars drawn against a horizontal time axis. A label appears at the right edge of each bar along with a circular indicator displaying that bar's most recent status.
