This section contains the codes for frequently used parameters of 4D Chart. These parameters are:

partType

partSpecifics

pattern

options

Part Type and Part Specifics Codes


When you modify parts of a graph programmatically, such as the legend or one of the axes, you specify which part of the graph to modify using the partType and partSpecifics parameters.

Some of the major parts of a graph are labelled in the following illustration:

The following are the codes for the partType parameter:

CodeGraph Part
1Plot rectangle
2Legend
3Axis
4Label
5Title
6Major gridlines
7Minor gridlines
8Series
9Value labels for series

The following are the codes for the partSpecifics parameter:

Graph PartSpecific Part Code
Plot rectangleFor 2D graphs: 0 = Entire rectangle,
For 3D graphs: 1 = Back, 2 = Side, 3 = Bottom
Legend0 = Legend rectangle
Axis0 = Category, 1 = Series, 2 = Values
Labels0 = Category, 1 = Series, 2 = Values
Titles0 = Category, 1 = Series, 2 = Values
Major gridlines0 = Category, 1 = Series, 2 = Values
Minor gridlines0 = Category, 1 = Series, 2 = Values
Series/Value labels(Series number * 100) + (Side number)
for series
Side numbers0 = All sides (also use for all 2D graphs)
(for sides of series)1 = Front, 2 = Left, 3 = Right,
4 = Top, 5 = Bottom

Note: Series in 2D graphs have one side (Front); series in 3D graphs can display up to three sides at a time.

Following are the codes for the pattern parameter:

Option Codes


Following are the codes for the options parameter used in the CT GET CHART OPTIONS and CT SET CHART OPTIONS commands:
