In the 'Chart Properties' dialog box, click on the plot region on the chart graphic to open the 'Plot Property' panel.
Figure 8. Plot Property

Plot properties include a number of common properties for all the chart styles and also some style-specific properties. The common properties are listed in the following table.
Table 5. Plot Properties
property |
Description |
X Grid |
Chart x-axis grid line style and color. |
Y Grid |
Chart y-axis grid line style and color. |
Quadrant Grid |
The style and color for a set of perpendicular line segments which divide the plot area into quadrants. |
Diagonal Line |
The style and color for a line segment which originates at the lower-left corner of the plot area and terminates at the upper-right corner of the plot area. |
Trend Line |
Specifies whether an interpolated trend line is displayed, and the method by which the trend line should be fit to the data (linear, quadratic, etc.). The menu and color chip below the 'Trend Line' menu specify the trend line style and color. If there is a dimension associated with the chart's 'Color' binding, select the 'One Per Color' option to create an independent trend line for each color group. (The trend line colors are matched to the corresponding data colors unless you explicitly specify a trend line color. In that case, all trend lines share the same color.) |
Show Values |
Label the chart elements with corresponding values. See Showing Values on a Chart. |
Stack Values |
Displays a single aggregate value for each primary (X-axis) grouping, rather than for each individual subseries grouping. |
Alpha |
Sets transparency for the chart elements. If disabled, the default transparency for the particular chart type is used. |
Keep Element in Plot |
Automatically extend the chart boundaries to display chart elements that exceed the specified axis maximum. |
Tooltip |
Value is displayed as tooltip when mouse hovers over corresponding chart area. To display custom HTML in the tooltip, see Custom Tooltip. |
Always Show Color in Map |
When a column is bound to the 'Color' field of the Visual panel in the Chart Editor, this setting ensures that the color is always used to fill the map regions. Otherwise, if another column is simultaneously bound to the 'Shape', 'Size', or 'Text' fields of the Visual panel, the color generated for the 'Color' binding will be applied to the plotted points rather than to the map regions. |
Banding |
Adds alternating colored bands to the specified axis. Select the desired band color from the color picker. |
Fill Time-Series Gaps |
When the 'As time series' option is set for a dimension (see Editing a Dimension), the 'Fill Time-Series Gaps' option specifies how missing data should be represented on the chart. When the option is disabled, plotted lines simply ignore the missing data and connect adjacent points. When the option is enabled, you can choose to represent gaps with either 'Null', which leaves an empty space at the location, or with 'Zero', which inserts a numerical value of 0 at the location. |
Explode Pie |
For the pie chart style, create a separation between the slices. |
