The Data Diagram control is a cross-platform feature that functions on desktops, web browsers, and smart mobile devices. It presents the user with two-dimensional visual data where the values are represented by colors, and is configurable within GraphWorX64 using the color scale. The Data Diagram can be used in projects across any ICONICS 64-bit product, and is applicable to virtually any industry or vertical market.
Data Diagram Ribbon

Open GraphWorX64.
Click the Controls tab.
Select the Data Diagram control. Your cursor becomes a cross hair.
Click and drag the cross hair within your window to create a Data Diagram. Ensure that your Data Diagram is large enough to display all of the boxes held within it.
Double-click on the Data Diagram. The Configuration window appears.
Here, you can input Data, configure Samples, customize the Color, Horizontal and Vertical Axes, edit the Styles, and the Commanding options.

Once you have configured your Data Diagram, click OK.
Click on the Runtime tab at the top right of your window. The values you see can be changed to an average, minimum, maximum, or a sum. Below is an example of a completed Data Diagram.
You can use the Query Interface by many controls that display datasets, such as the Data Diagram.
The Query Interface is an ICONICS protocol for retrieving datasets. You can use it if you want to modify the original dataset, such as if you sort, calculate aggregates, or if you want to display only a subset of the columns.
The Query Interface allows the server to process those modifications more efficiently before you send the data to your client.
If you want to see data from the Hyper Alarm Logger in the table control,
1) Configure the table control.
2) For Query, select type.
3) For Data Source, browse under Alarms and Notifications > Hyper Alarm Logger Query Interface and select .Query.
4) For Table, select the desired Hyper Alarm Logger collection.
5) Go to the Fields page
6) Select the refresh 
button.
7) Go to the Columns page.
8) Select the refresh button.
9) Make further updates to Fields or Columns as desired.
10) Select OK.
11) Go into runtime to see your data.
