Build a Custom Graph Object

To build a custom graph object:
  1. Drag and drop a graph element from the Graph Elements pane onto the canvas.
    Sample data is assigned to the graph element. The real data will be assigned by a report designer who includes the graph object in a report.
  2. (Optional) On the Role Definitions tab, you can define roles for the graph element.
    You have the following options:
    • Provide more descriptive names for the default roles.
    • Click Add Role to add more roles.
    • Create a data-driven lattice by adding a lattice role. For more information, see Creating a Data-Driven Lattice .
  3. (Optional) You can add additional graph elements to the graph object. See Adding a Graph Element to an Existing Graph Object.
  4. (Optional) You can change the properties for the graph object, the cell, the graph element, the legend, or one or more axes. Select the item, and make your changes on the Properties tab.
  5. Save the graph object. Depending on where you save the graph object, it might be immediately displayed on the Objects tab in SAS Visual Analytics Designer (the designer). For more information, see Saving a Custom Graph Object So It Appears in the Designer.
