Settings
The Settings section displays a number of general parameters related to the chart, such as the number of samples to include in the chart or whether to use a linear or logarithmic scale for a particular axis.
Fields and options in the Settings section are specific to the chart type selected in the chart type drop-down list. For instance, if you select the Bar chart type, you will see settings for Bar orientation and Layout.
For a detailed listing of the general and chart-specific parameters for each chart type, see the appropriate section below.
