QMF Visionary provides charts for SQL data allow you to display trends, compare different categories of items, to compare one trend with another, or to compare the various parts of an entire revenue or expenditure category.
Layout and Icon | Palette | Description |
---|---|---|
Candlestick
chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays gains and losses in stock prices, or other value-based indexes, and volumes over time. The x-axis represents time, and two y-axes represent price and volume. The color of the candlestick shows either gain or loss: typically, green for gain and red for loss. |
Scatter
chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays data in a two-dimensional graph in rectangular coordinates. You can use the scatter chart for statistical analyses, such as correlation studies. |
Stock
chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays fluctuations in stock prices, or other value-based indexes, and volumes over time. The x-axis represents time, and two y-axes represent price and volume. |
Timeline chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays a time series. The x-axis is a date-based axis, and the y-axis can be assigned to a numeric value. You can use the timeline chart to show a trend among data values returned in a sorted order by date. |
XY chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays data in a two-dimensional graph; data points are connected by a line, in the order the data was retrieved. You can use XY charts to show correlations between two variables and trends in these correlations. |
Multivariate
chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays several scatter charts in a grid. You can use the multivariate chart to analyze three or more independent variables. |
Bar chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays horizontal columns, or bars, to represent values measured on the x-axis that correspond to categories displayed on the y-axis. You can use bar charts to analyze trends over time or to compare quantities of different items. |
Bar3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays horizontal columns, or bars, to represent values measured on the x-axis that correspond to categories displayed on the y-axis. You can use bar charts to analyze trends over time or to compare quantities of different items. |
Column chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays vertical columns, or bars, to represent values measured on the y-axis that correspond to categories displayed on the x-axis. You can use column charts to analyze trends over time or to compare quantities of different items. |
Column3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays vertical columns, or bars, to represent values measured on the y-axis that correspond to categories displayed on the x-axis. You can use column charts to analyze trends over time or to compare quantities of different items. |
Pie
chart
![]() |
Layouts | Displays a circle cut into wedges; each wedge represents one row returned from a query. You can use the pie chart to examine shares or percentages of a whole. |
Pie3D
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays a circle cut into wedges; each wedge represents one row returned from a query. You can use the pie chart to examine shares or percentages of a whole. |
Pie3DSmooth
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays a circle cut into wedges; each wedge represents one row returned from a query. You can use the pie chart to examine shares or percentages of a whole. |
Area3D
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays areas that begin from the bottom of the chart with drops in the area. You can use Area 3D charts for examining change over time. |
Oblique3D
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays one or more vertical bars along a labeled axis with one or more planes. |
Torus3D
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays data in a 3D chart in the shape of a doughnut. Each piece of the torus represents one data point. You can use the torus chart to examine shares or percentages of a whole. |
Ribbon3D
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays one or more horizontal ribbons along a labeled axis with drops in the ribbons. |
Point3D
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays data values as points in the chart. |
Surface3D
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays a surface that connects adjacent data values. |
Bubble
3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays data as bubbles in the chart. The size of the bubble is determined by a data value. |
StackBar
3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays one or more horizontal bars that consist of stacked data values. |
StackColumn
3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays one or more vertical bars that consist of stacked data values. |
StackLine
3D
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays one or more horizontal ribbons that consist of stacked data values. |
StackArea
3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays an area that consists of stacked data values. |
Stock
3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays one or more vertical bars on a labeled axis. The stock 3D chart shows open, high, low, close, trading volume, and trading data for a stock. |
FloatBar
3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays floating horizontal bars. This chart displays time ranges and is useful for creating charts on schedules. |
Radar
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays multi-series data points in a radar screen format. |
Polar
chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays data points in a 360-degree radar screen format. |
Shmoo
3D chart
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays multi-series data in a cube-like format. Each cell of the cube is tested to determine if it passes a given condition. Pass and fail cells are color coded. The first set of failed cells can be highlighted. |
Legend
3D
![]() |
ActiveX Controls | Displays a legend in a 3D format. The legend can display multiple rows and columns with different mark shapes and controlled legend cell size. |
In addition to these layouts, you can also create comparisons by adding layers to some 2-D layouts. Layers are additional data templates added to a single layout: for example, an XY chart with more than one line representing more than one set of query results. For more details on layers, see Using layers in a layout.
