A vertical bar chart provides a way of showing data values represented as vertical bars. It is sometimes used to show trend data, and the comparison of multiple data sets side by side.
The bar chart allows a number of properties to be specified for each dataset. These are used to set display properties for a specific dataset. For example, the color of the bars is generally set this way.
A horizontal bar chart is a variation on a vertical bar chart. It is sometimes used to show trend data, and the comparison of multiple data sets side by side.
The configuration options for the horizontal bar chart are the same as for the bar chart. However, any options specified on the x-axis in a bar chart, are applied to the y-axis in a horizontal bar chart. The default horizontal bar configuration is specified.
A line chart is a way of plotting data points on a line. Often, it is used to show trend data or the comparison of two data sets.
The line chart allows a number of properties to be specified for each dataset. These are used to set display properties for a specific dataset. For example, the color of a line is generally set this way.
A radar chart is a way of showing multiple data points and the variation between them. They are often useful for comparing the points of two or more different data sets.
The radar chart allows a number of properties to be specified for each dataset. These are used to set display properties for a specific dataset. For example, the color of a line is generally set this way. Properties can be specified as an array.
The doughnut/pie chart allows a number of properties to be specified for each dataset. These are used to set display properties for a specific dataset. For example, the color of the dataset’s arc is generally set this way.
These are the customization options specific to Pie & Doughnut charts. These options are merged with the global chart configuration options and form the options of the chart.
