Configuring a graph
Axes
- X axis — select the column for the horizontal axis (typically a date or category).
- Y axis — select one or more numeric columns for the vertical axis. Each column becomes a series on the chart.
- Angle key — the numeric column that determines slice size.
- Sector label key — the categorical column for slice labels.
Direction
Cartesian charts (line, area, bar, scatter) can be displayed vertically (default) or horizontally.Stacking
Line, area, and bar charts support stacking — series are stacked on top of each other rather than overlapping. This is useful for showing part-to-whole relationships over time.Multiple series types
You can override the chart type per Y-axis series. For example, show revenue as bars and growth rate as a line on the same chart.Colors
Assign custom colors to individual series to match your brand or improve readability.Legend
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Show or hide the legend. |

Tooltips appear on hover and show the data point values. They can be enabled or disabled.Value labels
Control whether data values are shown directly on the chart:| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| None | No labels. |
| Always | Labels always visible. |
| Hover series | Labels appear when hovering over a series. |
| Hover item | Labels appear when hovering over a specific data point. |
Grid lines and axes
- X grid lines — vertical lines aligned to x-axis ticks.
- Y grid lines — horizontal lines aligned to y-axis ticks.
- Axis ticks — tick marks on the axes.
- Axis lines — the baseline lines for x and y axes.
- Axis labels — custom titles for the x and y axes.
Pie chart options
- Slice limit — maximum number of slices before remaining values are grouped into an “Other” slice. Defaults to 10.
Date granularity picker
When enabled, a small picker appears that lets viewers switch between Day, Month, and Year granularity on date-based axes.Related
