You can configure the properties of curves on this page. This page is available if the grouping is enabled on Data definition page.
Set the following values for every curve you want to show in the chart. If you need to edit a curve you have already added then select it in the list, edit its setting and press Update.
Without pressing Update the data will not be actualized. By Up and Down buttons you can change the order of curves, which is important because you can use wildcards in the Field value.
•Field value
All data records matching the mask entered in this field are used for creating the curve. Wildcards are supported here.
•Legend
The legend of the curve.
•Line type
The line type of the curve.
•Line style
The line style of the curve. If you select a style different from Simple then Interline areas page will not be displayed.
•Line color
The color of the curve.
•Mark size
The size of marks which are printed exactly at positions of data points. If you set it to zero then other mark options are disabled.
•Mark type
The type of marks.
•Mark color
The color of marks.
•Line thickness

Automatic detection of curves:
You can also keep value and legend fields empty for all curves. In this case curves are created automatically.
A curve is created for every unique value found in the data.
By this way the program creates as many curves as it finds in the data. If the data contain records for more curves than is the number of defined curve styles on this page then a warning is displayed.
If you decide to use the automatic curve detection then all curves on this page must have empty value and legend fields.
