Series Attributes

Introduction

Specifying attributes that define the outlook of the chart can be given in many places. Attributes defined in many places have a certain priority as given in the XML Reference. The attributes given in a series tag override possibly given attributes in other places.

Linking of Data and Attributes

Each value channel will have a unique identification with an id attribute. The uniqueness of the identification is forced and if an id is not given for a value channel, it is created automatically.

A series tag has an idRef attribute that is used for linking a value channel and the series tag together. If a series tag has an idRef for which a corresponding id from value channels is not found, the tag is ignored. If a matching id from a value channel is found, the attributes given in the series tag will override possible specifications given elsewhere.
