51.2 Line Chart: Object Menu<br />

Right-click on a chart and a float menu appears. This menu can also be found under Object menu when the<br />

chart is active.<br />

The menu contains the following commands:<br />

Properties... Opens the Properties dialog where the parameters defining the chart can be<br />

set.<br />

Detach The chart title is appended with the text "(Detached)" and the chart is no<br />

longer updated with selections made in the document (though selections may<br />

actually still be made from the chart). The command is available only if the<br />

chart is attached.<br />

By making a copy of a chart and detaching it, you may make direct comparisons<br />

between the copy and the original.<br />

Attach Attaches a detached chart. The chart becomes dynamically linked to the data.<br />

The command is available only if the chart is detached.<br />

Set <strong>Reference</strong> By choosing this option you set a chart reference, i.e. a fixed plot of the chart<br />

with the current selections. When further selections are made in the document<br />

the reference plot remains, dimmed in the background. Chart axes etc will be<br />

adjusted to always include the maximum of the background data set and the<br />

current data set. The current data set is always plotted on top of the reference<br />

plot, i.e. some portions of the reference plot may be obscured by the current<br />

data set plot. The way the background is dimmed can be controlled via the<br />

<strong>Reference</strong> Mode setting on the Chart Properties: General page. The display<br />

of reference chart plots is only possible in some chart types, e.g. bar charts,<br />

line charts, combo charts, radar charts, scatter charts, grid charts and gauge<br />

charts with needles. The reference will be lost when closing the document or<br />

when reloading data.<br />

Clear <strong>Reference</strong> This command is replaced with the Set <strong>Reference</strong> command when a reference<br />

is set. By choosing it the previously set reference will be cleared and the chart<br />

will revert to normal plot mode.<br />

Clone Makes an identical copy of the chart. If a detached chart is cloned the clone<br />

will be attached.<br />

Order This cascade menu is only available when the Design Grid command of the<br />

View Menu (page 58) is activated or when the Always Show Design Menu<br />

Items (page 86) checkbox is marked. It contains four commands to set the layout<br />

layer of the sheet objects. Valid layer numbers are -128 to 127.<br />

Bring to Front<br />

Sets the layout layer of the sheet object to the largest value currently used by<br />

any sheet object on the current sheet.<br />

Send to Back<br />

Sets the layout layer of the sheet object to the smallest value currently used by<br />

any sheet object on the current sheet.<br />

Bring Forward<br />

Increases the layout layer of the sheet object by one. Maximum value is 127.<br />

Send Backward<br />

Decreases the layout layer of the sheet object by one. Minimum value is -128.<br />
