Arrange the Visualizations in the Workspace

Move the Position of a Visualization

To move a visualization, drag the title bar of the visualization to the location where you want to place the visualization.

When you drag a visualization onto another visualization, the placement of the visualization is determined by the edge that is closest to the drop point.

For example: Your workspace contains two visualizations named “A” and “B”. If you drag A to the left edge of B, then A is placed to the left of visualization B. If you drag A to the bottom edge of B, then A is placed below B.
