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 />

Clear All Selections Clears all selections in the dimensions and expressions of the chart.<br />

Print... Opens the Print: General (page 99) dialog from which you can print the<br />

chart.<br />

Print as PDF... Opens the Print dialog with the <strong>QlikView</strong>PDF printer preselected.<br />

After pressing the Print button you will be prompted for a file name for the<br />

PDF output file. The <strong>QlikView</strong>PDF printer must be downloaded from Qlik-<br />

View’s homepage and installed separately.<br />

Send Values to Excel Exports the underlying data (the straight table equivalent of the chart) to<br />

Microsoft Excel, which is automatically launched if not already running. The<br />

table will appear in a new Excel worksheet. For this functionality to work<br />

Microsoft Excel 97 or later must be installed on the computer.<br />

Export... Opens a dialog for saving an image of the chart to file. The image can be<br />

saved as png, jpg, bmp or gif.<br />
