Previewing Charts

As you create charts in WebFOCUS Designer, you can preview them to see how your data displays in the chart, or to check the styling before publishing it or sharing it with others. At any point in the development of your chart, click Preview on the Quick Access Toolbar, as shown in the following image.

This executes your request and presents the results in the preview window.

Once you've reviewed your chart, you can exit the Preview using the Esc key.

For charts that contain prompts for parameters, in the prompting facility activated in Autoprompt mode, the Esc key causes the parameter panel to open and close. In this case, you can use the blue dot to return from the preview to the design view of your chart, as shown in the following image.
