|  | Graph Type | `ChartType` | Specifies how data is shown graphically in the chart, such as column, line, or pie. |
|  | Caption | `MeasureCaption[1]` | Specifies the caption that is shown next to the y-axis to describe the selected measure. You can enter captions in different languages by creating several lines with different language codes. |
| Optional Measure | DataColumn[2] | `DataColumn[2]` | — |

| Measures (Y-Axis) | Y-Axis Title | `TempGenericChartSetup."Y-Axis Title"` | Specifies the text that is shown next to the y-axis on the generic chart. To specify y-axis titles in different languages, choose the AssistEdit button to open the Generic Chart Text Editor window. |
|  | Show Y-Axis Title | `TempGenericChartSetup."Y-Axis Show Title"` | Specifies if the value in the Y-Axis Title field is shown on the generic chart. |
| Dimensions (X- and Z-Axes) | X-Axis Field | `TempGenericChartSetup."X-Axis Field Name"` | Specifies the field in the source object that is shown on the x-axis of the generic chart. The text is shown as a tooltip when you hover over the data element on the chart. |
|  | X-Axis Title | `TempGenericChartSetup."X-Axis Title"` | Specifies the text that describes the data that is shown on the x-axis. The text is shown as a tooltip when you hover over the data element on the chart. To specify x-axis titles in different languages, choose the AssistEdit button to open the Generic Chart Text Editor window. |
|  | Show X-Axis Title | `TempGenericChartSetup."X-Axis Show Title"` | Specifies if the value in the X-Axis Title field is shown on the generic chart. |
|  | Data Point X Label | `TempGenericChartSetup."X-Axis Field Caption"` | Specifies the text describes the selected x-axis value in a tooltip when you hover over a data point. The data point label is shown in front of the data value. |
|  | Z-Axis Field | `TempGenericChartSetup."Z-Axis Field Name"` | Specifies the field in the source object that is shown on the z-axis of the generic chart. |
|  | Data Point Z Label | `TempGenericChartSetup."Z-Axis Field Caption"` | Specifies the text that describes the z-axis value in a tooltip when you hover over a data point. The data point label is shown in front of the data value. |

## 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 4100 "Temp Blob"](../codeunit/4100.md) (2 calls: `ExportChartDefinition → FromRecord`, `ExportChartDefinition → HasValue`)

## 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: "page", object_name: "Generic Chart Customization")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
