Prasad,

A container object can be used to hold multiple charts.

You can use a container object to put multiple charts in the same box. All charts will appear in the same window but only one chart will appear active at a given time.

You can click the chart title to switch or toggle between charts.

A word of advice: Use containers with caution. They form linked objects and might affect the properties of all linked objects.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

-Khaled.

Thats a good explanation.

What I would like to know is, once we formed the container objects, we might no longer need the individual object that are linked to this container. So, how to hide those individual objects (two individual chat in your example file) ?

But this should not be removed from the container ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

once u create the charts and place it in the container.

then u no longer need the charts. delete the charts

After deleting still u can find the charts that are embedded in the container object..

when you have put your object in the container, you can delete the original one if you want.

If you don't want the container anymore, you can drag your objects out of it.

You can also use a container to display several objects in line/columns (but i don't see the point of doing that).
