Creating a chart from the Attribute Manager

You can generate a chart from vector, grayscale, and pseudocolor layers in the Maps tree, but not from bitmap (1-bit) or RGB layers. Charts are also available from the Files tree on raster channels or vector segments.

When you create a chart, it compares the values of the selected records and fields in the layer attributes, or graphs the pixel value counts from a raster without attributes.

For more information about charts, see Viewing data as a chart.

  1. Right-click a layer that contains the data that you want to chart and click Attribute Manager. If you want to chart the pixel value counts from a raster without attributes, you will have to create default attributes. When the message displays, click OK to create the attributes.
  2. In Attribute Manager, select the fields and records that you want to chart.
  3. On the Tools menu, click Charts, and then select a chart type.
