I hope this isn't going to be a stupid question. I've been writing focus code and creating reports for years and am generally pretty savy with the language and with technique, however, I have not done too much with graphing in my years of experience. I am now in the position to want to work more with charting, but I'm struggling a bit.

I have created a bar graph and it is working, but I want to take this now and customize it somewhat. I am first trying to display a chart title or subtitle (I'll want to play with it a bit before I decide which one I want) and I can't for the life of me get a chart title to display. I am targeting the bar graph to a frame and have tried,

setSubtitleString("string");
and
setTitleString("string");

and various other graph style code to no avail. Any ideas? Or even a lead on some documentation I can read? Most of the online tech help seems to assume you're using Graph Assist.

Did you code the graph or use the graphing tool?

I don't have the 'guts' to do that, but here is what the tool does for chart title. I just cut paste a segment of the coding.
HEADING and FOOTING in the GRAPH request will show also.

setLegendDisplay(true);
setTitleString("This is the chart title");
setFontSizeAbsolute(getTitle(),true);
setFootnoteString("Degrees by Degree Level");
setFontSizeAbsolute(getFootnote(),true);

Try this,

setTextString (getTitle(),"Title of chart");

Try adding this to your code:

setTitleDisplay(true);
setSubtitleDisplay(true);


Thanks!

Most of my reports or charts need to work off of a hold file (usually extracted using a SQL passthru method) that is created before the actual graph occurs, so the Graph Assist GUI tool won't work in this scenario.

In any case, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was prefacing the start of the graph style section with "ON GRAPH SET STYLE *" rather than "ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *". I'm an idiot. My titles are being honored now.

Anyway, thanks for the responses!

It's almost always something stupid. That's been my experience. (look for the simple, stupid things first -- LoL). Thanks again.
