Plot view is deprecated. Build new charts with Plot.

Plot view

Plot view is deprecated in favour of Plot, which handles multiple traces, more chart types and both data sources. Existing Plot view charts keep working, and this page is the reference for them, but build anything new with Plot.

The two are configured differently and are not interchangeable: moving a chart from Plot view to Plot means rebuilding it.

Plot view

The query behind the plot view, the plot type, and its axes.

Title

Type
Text

The title shown above the plot. Default: one generated from the query.

Height

Type
Whole number
Default
450

The height of the plot in pixels. Default: 450.

Plot type

Type
One of a list

The type of plot to display.

  • Pie
  • Scatter
  • Bars
  • StackedBars
  • GroupedBars
  • Line

Pie Label Layout

Type
One of a list
Default
percent

Shown when Plot type is Pie.

Which text each slice carries. Default: percent.

  • value
  • percent
  • label
  • value,percent
  • value,label
  • percent,label
  • value,percent,label

Cumulative

Type
Yes or no
Default
False

Shown when Plot type is Scatter or Line.

Shows the running total instead of the values. Default: off.

Drill-down: allow editing

Type
Yes or no
Default
False

Lets users edit cells in the table that opens when a point of the plot is clicked, like the List View's "Allow editing". Off by default: a drill-down is there to look at the numbers behind a point, not to change them. M-Files permissions apply either way. SQL data is never editable. Default: no.
