I am using WebFOCUS 7.1.6 Developer Studio and have created a series of graphs that I am not quite satisfied with. Generally speaking, these graphs consist of several lines of header information followed by the data area within a rectangular frame, followed by a single line legend and conclude with several lines of footing information (I will include a code sample at the bottom of this missive).

I have found that when I increase the ON GRAPH SET VAXIS nnn property (attribute?) by 100 pixels, that about 20 pixels increase the whitespace between the header and data area, about 60 pixels are used in the data area and the remaining 20 pixels increase the whitespace between the data and the legend.

I would really like to know which setXxx properties control the whitespace spacing between the header and the data area, between the data area and the legend and between the legend and the footing. Also, I would like to know if there are any properties that control the left and right (horizontal) orientation of the data area. Can anyone provide some information on this?

I do have access to the WebFOCUS Graphics Version 7 Release 1.3 document but have not discovered the information I am looking for.

I also went through quite a few of the topics in this bulletin board but might have missed a previous posting discussing this.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave,

The graph manual covers the topic is a round about way. I think chapter 2...how graphs are laid out. But here is a snippet of code we use...

setRect(getTitle(),new Rectangle(-17550,6550,29850,4750));
  

Basically, we set the rectangle size for the title. Chapter 2, I think explains this coordinate system. You may have to use;

setPlace(false);

as well.

Hope this helps,

Kevin

The heading (and footing) are in fact not a part of the graph.
See what happens if you create the graph and select it from the screen and copy it to p.e. an Word document.
The heading is not there.
If you save the graph to a file the heading is not included too.
So the control on the spacing is not so easy.
Kevin puts the text in a title field and that is a part of the graph.
