Hi Raynald,

thanks. For various reasons I need to use the "old" charts though.

In  the  developer  folder  on  the  spss cd there's an example script
"navmanip.bas"  (visual  basic?) which contains the folling line among
others:

objOutputItem.Height = objOutputItem.Height + objOutputItem.Height / 10

This  seems  to  lead in the right direction. As I'm not familiar with
Visual  Basic or scripting yet, I still hope that somebody can give me
some pointers on how to construct this.

Regards, Alex
