When you first place a graph in a DataWindow object, it is in the foreground—it sits above the bands in the DataWindow object. Unless you change this setting, the graph displays in front of any retrieved data.
To specify a graph's position and size:
Select Properties from the graph's pop-up menu.
Select the settings you want for the options on the Position page of the Properties view.

Background — The graph displays behind other elements in the DataWindow object. Band — The graph displays in one particular band. If you choose this setting, you should resize the band to fit the graph. Often you will want to place a graph in the Footer band. As users scroll through rows in the DataWindow object, the graph remains at the bottom of the screen as part of the footer. Foreground — (Default) The graph displays above all other elements in the DataWindow object. |

Slide Left, Slide Up |
The graph slides to the left or up to remove extra white space. For more information, see “Sliding controls to remove blank space in a DataWindow object”. |

Select or clear the Size To Display check box on the General page of the Properties view.
When you select the Size To Display check box, the graph fills the DataWindow object and resizes when users resize the DataWindow object. This setting is used automatically with the Graph presentation style.
