Instead of embedding a graph in a report, you can use the Graph presentation style to create a report that is only a graph—the underlying data is not displayed.
To use the Graph presentation style:
Select File>New from the menu bar.
The New dialog box displays.
Select the Object tab, select the Graph presentation style, and click OK.
Specify the data source for the report. If you want data to be retrieved into the Preview view automatically, select the Retrieve on Preview check box.
For more information, see Chapter 5, “Defining Reports.”
Enter the definitions for the series, categories, and values, as described in “Associating data with a graph”, and click Next.
Note that when using the Graph presentation style, the graph always graphs all rows; you cannot specify page or group.
Enter a title for the graph, select a graph type, and click Next.
Review your specifications and click Finish.
A model of the graph displays in the Design view.
Specify the properties of the graph, as described in “Defining a graph's properties”.
Save the report in a library.
