A graph element can be added so that it creates a cell in a new row or column. This
arrangement results
in a graph object with more than one cell. It is called a
user-defined lattice. In a
user-defined lattice, each cell is created independently and can contain different types of graph
elements.
Cells are aligned in rows and columns that you create by dragging and dropping graph
elements.
Note: You cannot create new rows
or columns in a data-driven lattice.
For a description
of a data-driven lattice, see About Data-Driven Lattices .
To create a user-defined
lattice:
-
Drag and drop a graph element from the
Graph Elements pane onto the canvas. The graph element is created in the center of the
graph area of the canvas.
-
Drag and drop another graph element onto the canvas as follows:
-
Drag and drop the graph element
onto the right or left border of the existing graph to create a new
column. The area becomes shaded to indicate the location of the new
column.
-
Drag and drop the graph element onto the top or bottom border of the existing graph
to create a new row.
-
To add more cells, continue dragging and dropping graph elements onto the borders
of the existing graph to create new columns or rows. You can drag and drop a graph
element onto the area between two columns to insert a new column. Or, you can drag
and drop
a graph element onto the area between two rows to insert a new row. If the existing
graph contains a lattice with an empty cell, you can drag and drop the graph element
into that empty cell.
You can create up to
10 rows and 10 columns.

(Optional) On the Role
Definitions tab, you can change the default role names
to provide more meaningful names.
