Quick start guide Creating a chart
The Quick start guide shows you the key steps for selecting the desired chart type and data you want to display.
Optionally, first select network object type or network objects
You can create a line chart or a bar chart in the following ways:
- With preselection of the network object type: You select the network object type on the network object sidebar and click Create chart on the shortcut menu. This transfers the network object type to the configuration of the chart in the Create Chart window. In this window, you configure the chart and the display (Creating charts from a network object type).
- With preselection of one or more network objects in a list: You select network objects in an attribute list and click Create Chart on the shortcut menu. This transfers the network objects to the configuration of the chart in the Create Chart window. In this window, you configure the chart and the display (Creating charts from a network object type).
- With preselection of one or more network objects in the network editor: You select network objects in the network editor and click Create Chart on the shortcut menu. This transfers the network objects to the configuration of the chart in the Create Chart window. In this window, you configure the chart and the display (Creating charts from a network object type).
- Without preselection: To create a line chart or bar chart, open the Create Chart window and select the network object type, network objects and attributes in it. Then you configure the chart and the display (Creating line charts or bar charts without preselection).
To create a scatter plot, open the Create scatter plot window(Creating a scatter plot). Preselection of a network object type on the network object sidebar or of network objects in an attribute list is not possible for scatter plots.
