Style Tab Properties

Specify the style of the crosstab. Server hides this tab when there is only one style available.

Style

Select the style you want to apply to the component.

Preview

Server displays a diagram to illustrate the effect of the selected style on the component.

Inherit Style

Select to take the style of the parent component. The property is available when the chart is in a table or banded object.
