Cutting the middle portion of a graph?

Hi again,
Is there any way to cut the middle portion of a graph? I have this data :

        Column1 Column2 Column3
11/4/08 10      8       134
12/4/08 20      9       145
13/4/08 8       8       145
...


Column3 will keep on adding the difference between Column1 and 2. Now, User has asked to create a graph from this and as you can see Column3 is ten or so times higher than Column1 or 2. They say it's okay even if it came out funny looking but I was thinking is there any way to skip the middle portion of the graph? Like this...

150

hope that came out okay Smiler

Thanks in advance~

ps. I accidentaly dislodged the Object Inspector window, how do I locked it back into place? It's a floating window now and it's rather annoying having to moved it around to see my report painter, thanks thanks~

Yuuta,

I don't think there is a way to "cut" the middle portion of a graph, but you could set the Y1Axis to a value other than zero. Check out the usage of the following Java within your GRAPHSTYLE -

setScaleMinAuto(getY1Axis(),false);
setScaleMin(getY1Axis(),120.0);

This would obviously hide the second and third columns, so think of using a dual axis grpah format instead.

And as for the Object Inspector in DevStudio - just double click on the (empty) title bar of the inspector. It will lock back into it's proper place again.

Thank you for the quick replies,

Just received the actual data :
            Column1   Column2   Column3
24/4/2008   10        9         10459
...


so miniscule that Column1 and 2 is just a line in the graph Smiler

Discussed it with user, going to try the dual axis graph, thanks again.

You can also try a log scale.
