28.7 Chart Tools: Add text, lines and points to graphs

All graphs include controls for adding elements into the graphs - specifically textboxes and lines which you can use to label your graphs.

The following controls are available:

• Add textbox: This adds a textbox which can be dragged and dropped around the graph.

• Remove textboxes: This removes all the textboxes on the graph.

• Add line: This adds lines parallel to either the X or Y axis.

• Remove lines: This removes all lines on the graph.

• Add point: This creates individual points on the graph.

• Remove points: This removes all individual points on the graph.

• Deleting individual textboxes or lines: you can remove any individual line or text box by right-clicking on that element and choosing Delete from the context menu.

• Moving a textbox: Move any text box via click and drag.

The dialog shown below illustrates how to add a line to the graph. Set the value for the appropriate axis, the stroke, colour and width of the line.

The dialog below illustrates how to add a point to the graph. Set the appropriate X and Y coordinate and adjust the size of the point, color and border.
