ChartElements
ChartElements
is an option to charting functions such as BarChart that specifies the graphics to use as the basis for bars or other chart elements.
Details
- Elements in charts can be based on any Graphics, Graphics3D or Image object.
- The final rendered form of each chart element is obtained by replicating or stretching copies of the base object so as to fill the necessary shape or region.
- The following settings for ChartElements can be used:
-
None leave chart elements blank Automatic use a preset default graphic g fill chart elements with copies of g {g,All} stretch a single g to fill each chart element {g,{w,h}} use copies of g with width w and height h {g1,g2,...} use 
for the i
element in each dataset
{spec1,spec2,...} use different specifications for different data dimensions - With a chart element specification of the form
, the following width and height specifications can be given: -
s explicit size in ordinary plot coordinates Scaled[s] size given as a fraction of the chart element region Automatic size determined by the original aspect ratio of g All size that fills the chart element region - Settings for ImageSize and AspectRatio in g are ignored when rendering chart elements, except when w or h is Automatic.
- When objects g are rendered for chart elements, their base styles are inherited from the styles defined for each chart element.
- Settings for BarOrigin and similar options do not affect either the orientation in which objects g are rendered, or the identification of w and h as width and height.
- With ChartElements->{g1, g2, ...}, the
are used cyclically to render the chart elements for successive elements in each dataset. - With ChartElements->{spec1, spec2, ...}, the
are used as chart element specifications for successive dimensions in nested lists of datasets. - ChartElements->{g1, g2, ...} is effectively taken to give a specification for the innermost dimension of nested lists of datasets.
