Using Q&R Query › Q&R Charting

Q&R Charting

Q&R Charting is a flexible tool used for displaying query output. You can display the information in a variety of styles:

• 2-Dimensional Charts—Line, Stacked Area, Bar, Stacked Bar, Bar Stacked by Key
• 3-Dimensional Charts—Area, Stacked Area, Bar, Stacked Bar, Pie.

The appearance of the chart is defined by views. View definitions can be customized.

By default Q&R charting will create a 2D Bar chart for your initial view of the output data. You may change this by editing MQRQuery.ini and changing the “QR Charting DefaultChartType=” setting. Change the value after the “=” from “2-D Bar” to “2-D Line” to produce line charts. Change the value to “None” if you always want the initial display of the output to be a data view only. Once Q&R Charting displays the data, you can add or modify views to create additional presentations. In addition, for MICF CSV output, entering K0 in the Output Control Cell will cause Q&R charting to display data only.
