A symbol that displays four numeric values over a specific time interval.
The candlestick is typically used to display the opening, closing, high, and low prices of a stock on a specific date. The color of the candlestick is designed to show gain or loss of stock value.
A rectangle of variable width used to display ranges of x-values, such as a length of time an event lasted, along an axis.
The event band is typically used with other data layers to depict events that correspond to other data.
A vertical rectangle in which the height is associated with a data value returned by a query, and the label is located on the x-axis.
The vertical label bar is typically used to create bar values parallel to the y-axis of an XY chart.
A vertical rectangle in which the height is associated with a data value returned by a query.
The vertical value bar is typically used to create bar values parallel to the y-axis of an XY chart.
A horizontal rectangle in which the width is associated with a data value returned by a query, and the label is located on the y-axis.
The horizontal label bar is typically used to create bar values parallel to the x-axis of an XY chart
A horizontal rectangle in which the width is associated with a data value returned by a query.
The horizontal value bar is typically used to create bar values parallel to the x-axis of an XY chart
A configurable shape, such as solid diamond, a cross, or any of several other shapes. (Shape is specified as a property in the Object Inspector.)
The marker is typically used to represent a data point in an axis-based chart.
A vertical line with horizontal ticks extending to the left and right side of the line. It is used to display four numeric values over a specific time interval.
The price interval bar is typically used to display the opening, closing, high, and low prices of a stock or other index on a specific date. The shape of the price interval bar can be modified to turn open/close and high/low tick marks on or off.
A horizontal rectangle. The threshold band is similar to the event band data symbol, and is used to display ranges of y-values along an axis.
The threshold band is typically used with data layers to depict value thresholds that correspond to other series of data.
For details about individual data symbol properties, see Appendix A, "Object Properties Reference."
Example of Inserting a Data Symbol When you insert a layout into a scene, a default data symbol is automatically placed in the data element to represent each of the data points in the layout. You can add a new data symbol to the data element, or change the data symbol from the default. To insert a data symbol into a data element in a layout
1. Select the layout in the Scenes panel.
2. Choose View Data Element so that the data element is displayed in the Data Element Editor.
3. In the World Manager, click the Graphics tab.
4. In the Graphics page, click the Data Symbols button to display the Data Symbols panel.
5. Double-click the data symbol you want to add to the data element.
A straight line
A two-jointed line
A smoothly curved line
A target point that overrides the default targets for connectors
Example of Inserting a Connector Use the Connectors panel in the World Manager to insert connectors into a data element. The following procedure is an example of how to insert a connector. To insert a spline connector
1. In the Scenes panel, double-click the data element where you want to insert the connector.
2. Choose Insert Connector Spline Connector.
3. Click Runtime Mode to view the results in the layout.
4. Modify connector properties, as desired.
Data Element so that the data element is displayed in the Data Element Editor.
