Many of the underlying charting libraries used in these samples only work on a subset of browsers that are part of Pentaho's official support matrix.

Working With Cross Filter

Drag one or more attributes into the "Rows" shelf of the layout panel to define which members you wish to plot. Note that when using more than a single attribute, they will display as columns in the table at the bottom of the visualization. Drag one or more measures into the "Measures" shelf, a bar chart will be displayed for each measure.		Highlight areas of each chart in order to filter the table results. Click and drag existing visual filters to focus on other areas of that measure.
