Using Data and Data Label Properties
To attach data to your graph, right-click in the Property Value field of the valueTable property and select Attach to Data. Your data attachment must contain numeric data for both the x and y axes. If you include a label column in your data attachment, this can be used to label the legend depending on whether the rowSeriesFlag checkbox is selected or deselected.

The rowSeriesFlag controls how data populate the graph:  

If the rowSeriesFlag checkbox is selected, your first row of data is used for the x-axis. The remainder will be plotted on the y-axis, with one trace per row of data containing one point for each column. If you included a label column in your data attachment, select rowLabelVisFlag and values from that column will be used as legend labels. By default, the label column is the first non-numeric text column in your data. To set the label column to a specific column, specify a column name using the labelColumnName property. If your data attachment does not have a label column, select the rowNameVisFlag checkbox to use row names in the legend.

Using Interaction Properties

Commands
To assign a command to your graph, right-click in the Property Value field of the command property and select Define Command. Commands can be set up to execute when you click on an object or automatically execute the command when the value of an object reaches a specified threshold. See Building Displays>Define/Execute Command for information on how to set up commands.

Drill Down Displays
To specify a drill down display, double click on the drillDownTarget property. Any display (.rtv) file can be targeted as a drill down. Based on your data attachment, substitutions are created that will be passed into drill down displays. To customize which substitutions will be passed into drill down displays, double-click on drillDownColumnSubs in the Object Properties window to open the Drill Down Column Substitutions dialog. Once a drill down target has been set, double-click on the trace marker to activate the drill down. Drill down displays can be activated in the same window that contains the graph or open in a separate window. This allows you to build a customizable hierarchy of displays.

Use drillDownSelectMode to control how a drill down display is activated. Set to Anywhere to activate a drill down display by double-clicking anywhere on the graph. Set to Element Only to enable a drill down display only when you double-click on a marker in the graph.

Tool Tips
Select the mouseOverFlag to enable tool tips for your XY graph. To display a tool tip, point to a trace marker with your mouse. The tool tip will contain information from your data attachment about that trace marker.

Object Properties

Property Name	Description
anchor	Specify where to anchor an object in the display. NOTE: If an object has the dock property set, the anchor property will be ignored. The anchor property is only applied when the dimensions of the display are modified, either by editing Background Properties or resizing the window in Layout mode Select None, or one or more the following options: None Object not anchored. This is the default. Top Anchor top of object at top of display. Left Anchor left side of object at left of display. Bottom Anchor bottom of object at bottom of display. Right Anchor right side of object at right of display. When a display is resized, the number of pixels between an anchored object and the specified location remain constant. If an object is anchored on opposite sides (i.e. Top and Bottom or Left and Right), the object will be stretched to fill the available space.
dock	Specify the docking location of an object in the display. Select from the following options: None Object is not docked. This is the default. Top Dock object at top of display. Left Dock object at left of display. Bottom Dock object at bottom of display. Right Dock object at right of display. Fill Dock object in available space remaining in the display after all docked objects are positioned. If the dimensions of the display are modified, either by editing Background Properties or resizing the window in Layout mode, the properties (objX, objY, objWidth and objHeight) of docked objects will automatically adapt to match the new size of the display. When multiple objects are docked to the same side of the display, the first object is docked against the side of the display, the next object is docked against the edge of the first object, and so on. When objects are docked to multiple sides of the display, the order in which objects were added to the display controls docking position. For example, let's say the first object added to the display is docked at the Top and the second object is docked at the Left. Consequently, the first object will fill the entire width of the display and the second object will fill the left side of the display from the bottom of the first object to the bottom of the display. Objects in a display have the dock property set to Fill, are laid out across a grid in the available space remaining after all docked objects are positioned. By default, the grid has one row and as many columns as there are objects in the display. You can modify the grid in the Background Properties dialog. Once an object is docked, there are some limitations on how that object can be modified. Docked objects cannot be dragged or repositioned using objX and objY properties. Docked objects cannot be resized using the objWidth or objHeight properties. To resize you must drag on the resize handle. Docked objects can only be resized toward the center of the display (e.g. If an object is docked at the Top, only its height can be increased by dragging down toward the center of the display). Docked objects set to Fill cannot be resized at all. Docked objects cannot be moved using Align. Non-docked objects can be aligned against a docked object, but a docked object will not move to align against another object. Docked objects are ignored by Distribute.
objHeight	Set height of the object in pixels.
objName	Name given to facilitate object management via the Object List dialog. Select Tools>Object List.
objWidth	Set width of the object in pixels.
objX	Plot x-axis position of object.
objY	Plot y-axis position of object.
styleClass	Enter the style class name for this object as defined in your style sheet. If not specified, the object class name is used. NOTE: The value entered must not contain spaces and cannot start with rtv-.
transparencyPercent	Set transparency of the object. Enter a value between 0 and 100. A value of 0, the default, sets the object to be completely opaque. A value of 100 will render the object completely transparent.
visFlag	Control visibility of the object.

Plot Area Properties

Property Name	Description
gridBgColor	Select the  button and choose a color from the palette to set the color of the grid background.
gridBgGradientColor2	Select the  button and choose a color for the second color in the gradient. Default is white. NOTE: The gridBgColor property sets the first color in the gradient.
