Select charts for summaries
Up to 3 charts can be defined for each summary. This allows a graphical view of critical data on a summary.
The rows or lines in the summary represent one axis (this is fixed by the summary) and these can be charted against one or more of the fields (columns) on the summary. For example with the Pattern summary one axis is the set of patterns and the fields are items such 'Number of cross cuts', 'Number of Rip cuts ... per pattern. At the Summary screen:-
● Select: Settings - Chart settings
● Click on a tab to choose the chart so set up.
Select a chart type and title for the chart.
Use the list box to select a
chart type
The 'Available' box list the fields on the summary and the 'Chosen' box lists the fields selected for the chart. Select a field in the 'Available' box and use the cursor buttons to move the field to the 'Chosen' box and vice versa.
Field colour
Assign a colour for each item in the chart.
- Select the item in the 'Chosen' box and select the 'Colour'. Repeat for each item in the Chosen box.
Sub totals - check this box
to chart based on the sub-totals in a summary rather than the items in
the summary.

Background - sets the colour of the chart background
Pie chart colours - set the basic colours for a pie chart. The program uses these colours in sequence to show the items on a pie chart.
