Plot Attributes

Introduction

If no value has been set to an attribute, the value of the attribute in the generation of the chart will be the default value of the attribute given in the XML reference. One step above default values are the values of the attributes given in a plot tag. Therefore, the attributes given in a plot tag can be considered as user defined default values.

The plot tag has also a few plot specific attributes. These attributes do not differ from other attributes in plot tag in any other way but they can not be overridden by attributes given in other tags.

Examples

Plot paint palette affecting all bar fill paints.
Various plot area attributes acting together.
The same chart as above but without any plot area attributes.
