Area Stack
Create a stacked chart consisting of several Area Charts.
Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Container plug-ins -> VisualDataTools
This page contains the following topics and procedures:
Area Stack Properties
-
Initialize stacked chart: Refreshes the stacked chart, based on the Area Chart plug-ins in the sub-containers. The stacked chart detects when a chart is added/removed from the stack, and updates the chart accordingly. However, some actions, such as re-ordering the charts within a stack, are not updated automatically. In these cases, press Initialize stacked chart to update the stack.
-
Stack Gap: Adds space between each chart.
Note: The remaining properties in the Line Stack plug-in are the same as used in the Area Chart plug-in. The Area Chart features Specify X Values, DataY Compare, and Bevel, are disabled in stacked charts.
