Stacked Graph Fill Option 

The Stacked Graph Fill option appears on the Configure Options dialog
box.  The Options command appears under the Configure menu.

Use the Stacked Graph Fill option to set the fill pattern for variables
on a stacked graph.  Use it to help interpret graphs.


          Figure 10-69.  Stacked Graph Fill Option 

Six graphs are stacked:

   *   Global CPU Utilization.

   *   Global System CPU Utilization.

   *   Global Physical Disc by Task.

   *   Disc Space.

   *   Disc Free Space.

   *   Disc Space Users.

Three fill choices exist:

   *   Hollow produces an open line graph.

       No fill pattern is used between lines.  Measurements are
       represented by different line types, and a sample of the line type
       appears immediately below the variable name.  Use the Hollow fill
       pattern when plotting a graph to save considerable time.

   *   Solid produces a solid fill pattern for each variable in the
       graph.

       Measurements are represented by colored, solid fill areas, and the
       variable name is surrounded by the same color.  This pattern is
       optimal for differentiating performance variables on a color
       printer or plotter but is ineffective for black and white output.
       The Solid fill pattern is automatically printed as hatched on a
       noncolor printer.

   *   Hatched produces a hatched pattern fill for each variable in the
       graph.

       Each metric has a unique pattern applied between the lines.
       Measurements are represented by patterned areas, and the variable
       name is surrounded by the same pattern.  This pattern is optimal
       for differentiating performance data on a black and white display,
       printer, or plotter.  The graph below shows an example of hatched
       fill.
