Loading and Saving Charts and Data

The two main components of any chart are the data it is displaying and the properties that control its appearance. You can save the current chart data and load new chart data from a file. You can also load and save chart descriptions, which are settings for all of the chart properties.

ComponentOne Chart includes sample chart descriptions and data files that you can use as templates to build your own custom chart.

To Load and Save Data

Use the Load and Save buttons on the Data Tab (ChartGroup) on the Property Pages to load and save data. See Understanding Data Layout for information on data layouts.

To Load and Save Chart Descriptions

Use the Load and Save buttons on the General Tab (Control) on the Property Pages to load and save chart descriptions.
