Components of a Graph Object

In general, a graph object consists of one or more cells that contain a composite of one or more graph elements.

The following figure shows the different parts of a graph object:

1	Graph object a visual representation of data. The graph object can contain one or more cells that have one or more graph elements.
2	Cell a distinct rectangular subregion of a graph object that can contain graph elements, axes, and legends. Multiple cells are arranged as columns and rows. The example graph object contains two cells that are arranged as columns.
3	Graph element a visual representation of data, such as a scatter plot or a bar chart. The example shows a bar chart and a pie chart, each in its own cell. Multiple compatible graph elements can be overlaid in a cell.
4	Axis refers collectively to the axis line, the major tick marks, the major tick mark values, and the axis label. In multi‐cell graph objects, the columns and rows of cells can share common axes if the cells have the same data type.
5	Legend refers collectively to the legend border, one or more legend entries (where each entry has a symbol and a corresponding label), and a legend title.
