Specify Chart Settings

Use this form to specify settings for a Chart component. Not all settings are required. If you do not specify a value for an optional setting, a default value is used.

Types of charts include column or bar charts, line charts, pie charts, doughnut charts, scatter charts, and spark charts, to name a few. These charts can displays data from a single source (or series) or from multiple series. They can even include combination displays, showing both lines and columns, for example.

This form is used only with Chart components.

  • The canvas is the area where the chart is displayed.
  • The legend is an area outside the canvas (but within the area of the component) that describes the chart.
  • Alpha is a transparency setting from 0-100. 100 means no transparency, that is, solid color. 0 means totally transparent (invisible). Numbers from 1 to 99 are levels of transparency, with the lower numbers being more transparent and higher numbers less transparent/more solid.
  • Color values are stored in standard hexadecimal RRGGBB (Red/Green/Blue) format.
