You can use graphs in DataWindow objects and in windows. You specify the properties of a graph, such as its type and title, the same way in a DataWindow object as in a window.
Using graphs in user objects You can also use graphs in user objects. Everything in this chapter about using graphs in windows also applies to using graphs in user objects.
The major differences between using a graph in a DataWindow object and using a graph in a window (or user object) are:
Specifying the data for the graph
In DataWindow objects, you associate columns in the database with the axes of a graph. In windows, you write scripts containing PowerScript functions to populate a graph.
Specifying the location of the graph
In DataWindow objects, you can place a graph in the foreground and allow users to move and resize the graph at runtime, or you can place a graph in a band and prevent movement. In windows, graphs are placed like all other window controls.
