The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a

SUMMARY

Records output through the RQBE (Relational Query By Example) window can be directed to a graph instead of to the customary browse. The graph option will be unavailable (dimmed) if the _GENGRAPH system memory variable is not set properly.

MORE INFORMATION

_GENGRAPH indicates the program that the RQBE window will use to create a graph after a query is complete. The default setting is GENGRAPH.APP. This program is shipped with FoxPro versions 2.0 and 2.5 for MS-DOS and is usually installed in the main FoxPro directory.

GENGRAPH.APP provides an interface between RQBE and an optional third-party product, FoxGraph. GENGRAPH.APP provides an interface between RQBE and Microsoft Graph. Developers can write an interface between RQBE and a different third-party graphing package in place of the default _GENGRAPH program.

If the file specified in _GENGRAPH does not exist, the graph option in the RQBE window will be unavailable. _GENGRAPH can be set through the CONFIG.FP file.
