Creating a Chart Object
To create a chart object, do the following:
1. Click Charts in the upper pane of the Palettes Panel to display the contents of the Charts palette.
2. Select the chart you want from the lower pane of the Palettes panel and drag it to your working buffer window.
Your working buffer window can be the buffer window that is created by default or any other window you have created in the work space. You can create a new buffer window by selecting File > New from the menu bar at the top of the Main window, and then the buffer type you want (2D Graphics, and so on).
When you drag a chart object from the Charts palette to the buffer window, the corresponding IlvChartGraphic object surrounded by selection handles appears in the window.
3. Double-click the chart object to open its specific inspector.
The Chart inspector enables you to customize the chart object. The number of parameters you will have to change depends on how different you want your chart to be from the initial chart.
Two dedicated inspectors have been implemented for the Views Charts package:
