Using QMF

How QMF spaces data along the X-axis

The following rules apply to how QMF spaces data along the X-axis for the chart formats that it provides:

• QMF plots numeric data from a single report column by its actual numeric value.
• QMF spaces non-numeric data from a single report column at even intervals.
• QMF spaces numeric data or non-numeric data from multiple report columns at even intervals.

The QMF-provided chart formats for bar, tower, and polar charts space both numeric values and non-numeric values at even intervals. If you specify one of these chart types in the ICU, rather than using the QMF DISPLAY command, your data might be spaced unevenly along the X-axis.
