Rotating Real 3D Graphs
The Real 3D Bar, Pyramid and Tape graphs can be rotated to change the observer's point of view, in order improve the view of the analyzed values.
To do so, mouse and keyboard must be used together. While pressing the Ctrl Key, press the left button of the mouse. Moving the mouse to different parts of the screen changes the observer's perspective.
Swapping dimensions on the X-axis and Series (or Columns and Rows)
When swapping axes, the analyzed dimensions are interchanged. The dimension on the X-axis goes to the Series, and the dimension in the Series goes to the X-axis. Likewise, if you are viewing a table, the positions of dimensions in the columns or rows are swapped.
The analyzed data is not altered by this action, only the location of the dimensions that form the analysis context.
To swap the position of axes you must choose "Swap Axis" in the "Explore" menu or choose the corresponding icon in the Toolbar.
Changing the direction of the X-axis and the Y-axis
To invert the direction of axes X and Y choose "Invert axes" in the "View" menu or the corresponding icon in the Toolbar.
By doing so, the X-axis is shown vertically and the Y-axis horizontally.
Showing / Hiding the Grid
O3 Browser allows you to add grid lines behind the graphs to facilitate comparison of the different elements.
To Show / Hide the grid, choose " Show Grid " in the "View" menu or the corresponding icon in the Toolbar.
