49.3 Fast Chart Type Change
The type of chart can be changed by the user without going via the Chart Properties dialog, provided that
the Fast Type Change option has been selected on the Chart Properties: General page.
An icon showing the next available chart type (Allowed Types selected for fast type
change) will appear in the chart. By left-clicking the icon, the chart will change to the indicated
type. By right-clicking the icon you get a drop-down menu with all selected types.
The application designer can choose Preferred Icon Position of the fast type change icon.
By choosing In Caption the icon will appear in the chart caption, provided that a caption is
shown. By choosing In Chart the icon will appear inside the chart, provided that the chart
is not a pivot table or straight table. If the preferred position is not available, QlikView will
try to use the other option. In table charts without caption, no icon will be shown.
49.4 Sizing and Moving Chart Components
Many of the individual chart components can be resized or moved to suit your preferences.
By pressing the SHIFT and CTRL keys and keeping them depressed while a chart is active you will enter
the chart layout edit mode. In edit mode, thin red rectangles will appear around those components of the
chart that can be sized or moved. Use the mouse drag and drop technique to move things around.
The following components can be edited:
The chart title and chart legend can be both moved and resized. They can be docked to the top, bottom, left
and right border of the chart and also be positioned free-floating anywhere within the chart.
Free-floating chart text can be moved to a position anywhere in the chart. The outlining rectangle can be
resized to accommodate longer or multiline text.
The areas taken up by the chart axes and their labels can be resized.
Cycle expression icons and fast chart type change icons can be moved to a free-floating position anywhere
within the chart.
The plot area itself cannot be resized or moved in edit mode, but will be drawn in the available space
between the axes and docked legend and title.
49.5 Chart Properties
When you click the Create Chart button in the toolbar, the Chart Properties dialog is opened. Here you
can set the properties of the chart, that is the chart type, the dimensions, titles etc.
