Designing reports using BIRT Studio : Presenting data in a chart : Creating a chart
 
Creating a chart
The data for a chart comes from the data in a table. You must create the table before you create a chart. Users typically design reports using this sequence. To display only a chart in your report, hide the table after you create the chart.
When you create a chart, you perform the following tasks:
1 Insert a chart.
2 Choose a chart type.
3 Specify the data to present in the chart.
4 Format the chart.
