Size and Options
The Size & Options panel contains options to change the chart’s colors, size, axis sorting and chart specific settings.
Color Scheme
Use this dropdown to select a color scheme for the chart. Most color schemes contain 10 colors.
For charts that contain a single color (line chart), it’s possible to select an individual color from the color scheme. First select a color scheme. Then, from the color drop down, select an individual color along the top row. This is the color that will appear in the chart.
Chart Width and Height
-
X-Axis Width A slider that sets the width of the x-axis. The value scale is in pixels, and the width can be set in 25 px increments.
-
Y-Axis Height A slider that sets the height of the y-axis. The value scale is in pixels, and the height can be set in 25 px increments.
-
Auto Size Large # Items When a dataset has a large number of items to plot (more than 20 items) in the X-Axis, this allows the X-Axis to stretch as long as it needs to in order to plot every item.
This setting is enabled by default.
Options for Specific Chart Types
This section allows you to set options that only apply to one or more chart types.
- Normalize
Normalize will change the scale of the y-axis to a percentage of 100. It will look as though the plotted bars and area stretch to the top of the chart.
- Horizontal Bars Enable this toggle to show the bars of a Bar chart horizontally instead of vertically. This is useful when there is categorical info plotted on the x-axis that have long names. The long names are more easily read horizontally rather than vertically.
Sorting
Auto Sort is enabled by default to automatically sort the items in the chart.
Turn off auto sort to manually control the sorting. The X-Axis and Group Axis (if there is one) can be sorted alphabetically or numerically based on the data plotted on the axis.
Numeric Axis Min and Max
Use these settings to control the min and max values plotted on each axis.
-
X-Axis Min & Max Set these 2 values to control the smallest and largest value plotted on the X-Axis. This option will be disabled if the chosen X-Axis column is not numeric.
-
Y-Axis Min & Max Set these 2 values to control the smallest and largest value plotted on the Y-Axis. This option will be disabled if the chosen chart type is a Stacked Bar chart.
-
Group Axis Min & Max Set these 2 values to control the smallest and largest value plotted on the Group Axis (if there is a group axis for the chosen chart type).
Number of Labels Shown Per Axis
Increase or decrease the number of labels shown per axis.
