This dialog box appears:

when you choose the Add Graph from Columns command from the Edit menu in a graph window,
when you click the Add Graph button in the toolbar of a graph window,
when you use the right mouse button in the white space of the Graph Management pane, and choose the Add Graph from Columns command from the context-sensitive menu.

Table:

Select the table which contains the column(s) that you wish to show as a graph.

X-axis:

Select a column for the X-axis of the graph. The list box shows all columns of the table.

This X-axis list box is not available when you used the domain of the table for the X-axis of the graph in the Create Graph / New Graph dialog box.

Y-axis:

Select a column for the Y-axis of the graph. The list box shows all columns of the table.

A new line graph or bar graph will be immediately displayed. For some examples of graphs, see the Example section below.
