Chart Properties
These property groups apply to charts.
For a guide to using chart widgets, see Designing Charts.
These property groups apply to line, area, bar, column, bubble, spectrum, and radar charts:
- Chart properties affect the entire chart. This section is shown when you select a chart that contains column, bar, or pie series. Column Width Ratio and Bar Width Ratio (default 65%) define the width of each column or bar as a percentage of the maximum width available to it. For pie series, Inner Radius, Outer Radius, and Reduce Outer Radius are shown (see Pie Chart).
- Datatips properties affect the hover text for data points.
- Series properties affect the styling of line, area, bar, column, bubble, spectrum, or radar series, including animation.
- Axis properties affect the styling of chart axes.
- Plot Area properties affect the styling of the chart plot area (gridlines), and the Zooming properties.
- Series Set properties affect a series set, which groups several line, area, column, bar, or radar series. Type defines how the series are combined: Overlaid, Stacked (default), or 100%. Column and bar sets also support Clustered. The Repeater section lets a series set create one series per table column: enable Repeater mode, set the Data Source table, and use the X Column / Y Column (or A Column / R Column for radar sets) properties, to choose columns. Each Column Rule can be One Column, Other Columns, Columns List (comma-separated), or Exclude Columns (use Exclude to list the excluded columns). Additional Columns lists extra columns passed to each generated series. In repeater mode, a master series is used to edit the properties of all generated series; its Master Series section shows the original column names and the Series Index.
These property groups apply to pie charts:
- Pie Chart properties affect the entire pie chart.
- Datatips properties affect the hover text for wedges.
- Pie Series properties affect the styling of chart series, including animation.
- Wedge Fills properties affect the colors of the pie chart.
- Labels properties affect the labels of the pie wedges.
Charts are also affected by Common Properties.
