General

Stack

Controls whether data series are displayed as stacked segments within each category.

• Disabled -> Series are shown side-by-side or overlapping, depending on the chart type.
  

• Enabled -> Values from different series are added on top of each other, showing both the total contribution and individual component sizes.
  

• Visibility: Toggle switch (On/Off).

• Impact: Essential for visualizing parts-to-whole relationships.

• Example: Enabled stacking shows combined bars for Electronics and Appliances.

Show Stacked Total

Available only when Stack is enabled. Displays the total sum of stacked segments as a label on top of each stacked bar.

• Visibility: Toggle switch (On/Off).
• Impact: Improves readability by clearly showing aggregate values for stacked data.
• Example: Shows totals such as 35,500 for Electronics and 13,500 for Appliances.

Sort By Data

Defines the sorting order for categories or series based on their data values.

• Ascending -> Smallest to largest value.
  

• Descending -> Largest to smallest value.
  

• None -> No specific sorting applied.
  

• Impact: Helps quickly identify the highest or lowest performing categories/series.

• Example: In descending order, Electronics (35,500) appears before Appliances (13,500).

• Color

  Defines the color palette for chart series or segments. Colors are typically provided as comma-separated hex codes.

  

  • Input Type: Text area (comma-separated hex values).

  • Example:

    • Laptops (Crimson Red, #c12e34)
    • Smartphones (Golden Yellow, #e6b600)
    • Kitchen (Bright Azure, #0098d9)
    • Laundry (Forest Green, #2b821d)

  • Impact: Enables custom branding, ensures visual distinction, and supports accessibility standards.

Locale

Sets the language and regional formatting conventions for chart elements such as:

• Number formatting (decimal separators, thousands separators).

• Date formatting.

• Currency symbols.

  

• Options: Multiple supported locales (e.g., English, Spanish, French, German, etc.).

• Impact: Ensures that data is displayed in a culturally appropriate and easily understandable way for the intended audience.

• 3D Chart

  Enables 3D rendering.

  • Enable 3D -> Activates the 3D view, giving depth to slices. (Available only for Pie charts)

    

  • 3D Tilt -> Adjusts the viewing angle of the chart for perspective. (Available only for Pie charts)

    

  • 3D Margin -> Controls the spacing between the chart and its edges in 3D mode. (Available for Pie and Donut charts)

  • Impact: Adds visual depth and enhances presentation.

  • Example: A 3D tilted donut chart highlighting sales by region.

• Coordinate System (Heatmap)

  Defines how data is mapped to the Category Axis and Y Axis in two-dimensional space. (Available only for Heatmap charts)

  • Options: Cartesian2D (standard Category Axis and Y Axis grid).

  • Impact: Ensures proper row/column alignment where categories define the grid structure and values control the cell intensity.

  • Example:

    • Category Axis: Month

    • Y Axis: Region

    • Value Axis: Sales (controls the color intensity of each cell)
