Creating a chart from the layer

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

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

In the Maps tree, select the layer that contains the data that you want to chart.
If you want to select specific shapes to chart from a vector or thematic raster layer, click the Selection Tools arrow on the Editing toolbar and select a tool. In the view pane, click or drag to select the shapes that you want included in the chart.
On the Layer menu, click Charts, and then select a chart type from the list.
On the Chart viewer toolbar, click Chart Definition.
Select the fields.
Click OK.
