The Recommendations for Chart and Graphic comprise guidelines for the use of charts, graphics, images, colors and text.
The material in these recommendations are collected from various sources; the sources are listed in the References section.

Note: These recommendations are not official SAP guidelines; they are mostly general recommendations as found in the literature, with the exception of two SAP-specific additions, such as PIG charts (Portable Interactive Graphics) and color palettes for charts.
For additional information on color and related issues, see the Color Glossary in the SAP Design Guild.
Status
The Recommendations for Charts and Graphics are preliminary and will be updated as necessary.
They originate from the SAP MiniApp Guidelines (version 1.0) which they are part of. For the future, further updates of the SAP MiniApp Guidelines will probably no longer contain these recommendations; they will be published separately in this document.
Version 0.9 - 30 January 2001
This guideline can be found in Resources on the SAP Design Guild Website (www.sapdesignguild.org).
