The Chart Viewer dialog is used with the Frequency Distribution node. When you run a job with the Frequency Distribution node, you can add the Frequency Distribution Chart node to view the results in a chart. For an example of a job that displays output in the Chart Viewer window, see the "Review the Data Job Output" section in Previewing, Running, and Reviewing a Data Job.
