About the Filled Overlay Example

This example uses two time series plots to show actual sales compared to predicted sales for a line of retail products. The graph is enhanced by applying a filled area to one of the overlaid plots.

Example Filled Overlay

Build the Graph Object for the Filled Overlay Example

In the graph builder, drag and drop a time series plot from the Graph Elements pane onto the canvas.
Drag and drop a second time series plot from the Graph Elements pane onto the first time series plot. This action creates an overlaid plot.

Note: When you overlay the plots, the Time role is automatically shared between the plots.
Specify a fill area for the first time series plot.
1. Select the first time series plot. (On the Properties tab, the plot might be identified as Time Series Plot 1.)
2. On the Properties tab, click next to Grouping style, and select Overlay Filled.
3. Click next to Fill color, and select Prediction limits color.
Save the graph object. See Save a Custom Graph Object So It Appears in the Designer.
