## Properties

| Property | Value |

| Access | Public |

## Procedures

- `Initialize()`: Initializes all the underlying objects needed for working with business charts.
- `SetXDimension(Caption: Text; BusinessChartDataType: Enum "Business Chart Data Type")`: Sets the x dimension on the business chart.
- `GetXDimension(): Text`: Gets the x dimension caption.
- `GetXDimensionDataType(): Enum "Business Chart Data Type"`: Gets the x dimension data type.
- `AddMeasure(Caption: Text; MeasureValueVariant: Variant; DataColumnType: Enum "Business Chart Data Type"; BusinessChartType: Enum "Business Chart Type")`: Adds a new measure to the business chart.
- `AddDataRowWithXDimension(XDimensionColumnValue: Text)`: Adds a new data row and sets the value of the x dimension column in this row to the specified value.
- `AddDataColumn(Caption: Text; ValueType: Enum "Business Chart Data Type")`: Adds the data column to the data table that the business chart is based on.
- `SetValue(MeasureName: Text; XAxisIndex: Integer; MeasureValueVariant: Variant)`: Sets the value of the scpecified measure at the specified index.
- `SetValue(MeasureIndex: Integer; XAxisIndex: Integer; MeasureValueVariant: Variant)`: Sets the value of the scpecified measure index at the specified x axis index.
- `GetValue(MeasureName: Text; XAxisIndex: Integer; var MeasureValueVariant: Variant)`: Gets the value of the scpecified measure at the specified index.
- `GetMaxNumberOfMeasures(): Integer`: Gets the maximum number of measures that the business chart can display.
- `Update(BusinessChartAddIn: ControlAddIn BusinessChart)`: Updates the provided business chart control add-in.
- `GetMeasureNameToValueMap(): Dictionary of [Text, Text]`: Gets the dictionary of measure names and values.
- `SetShowChartCondensed(ShowChartCondensed: Boolean)`: Sets a value indicating whether the XAxis Margin is visible or not.
- `WriteToXMLDocument(DotNetXMLDocument: DotNet XmlDocument)` (internal): Exports the underlying data table to the provided XML document for testing purposes.

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 478 "Business Chart Impl."](../codeunit/478.md) (14 calls: `AddDataColumn → AddDataColumn`, `AddDataRowWithXDimension → AddDataRowWithXDimension`, `AddMeasure → AddMeasure`, …)

## Called by

- [Table 485 "Business Chart Buffer"](../table/485.md) (22 calls: `AddColumnWithCaption → AddDataRowWithXDimension`, `AddDataColumn → AddDataColumn`, `AddDecimalMeasure → AddMeasure`, …)
- [Codeunit 1926 "Profiling Chart Helper"](../codeunit/1926.md) (6 calls: `UpdateData → AddDataRowWithXDimension`, `UpdateData → AddMeasure`, `UpdateData → Initialize`, …)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC24, BC27

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "Business Chart")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
