Available theme chart options

The theme usually consists of a variables section (<variables>) and a chart options part (<chartOptions>). The chart options define the layout of the chart.

Note: A lot of settings can be made either by changing a theme variable or by using one of the chart options. We recommend using chart options for modifying your chart.

The following options are available to be used in the <chartOptions> section of the theme file:

Axes

  • <axis>: Customize the look of an axis
  • <axisTick>: Customize the look of the axis tickmarks

Value elements

  • <valueBar>: (for bar charts) Customize the look of the bars used in the bar-charts
  • <valueLine>: (for line charts) Customize the look of the connecting line used in line charts
  • <valuePoint>: Customize the look of the value points (the dots on the data values) in line charts
  • <valueSlice>: Customize the look of the slices in pie charts
