ChartLayout

ChartLayout

is an option to charting functions that specifies the overall layout to use.

Details

  • ChartLayout determines how visual elements are placed relative to each other.
  • Common settings for ChartLayout include:
  • "Overlaid"allow the elements to overlap
    "Stacked"accumulate the values across elements
    "Percentile"accumulate and normalize the values across elements
  • Possible settings for ChartLayout that spread the plot elements across multiple plot panels include:
  • "Column"use a column of panels
    "Row"use a row of panels
    {"Column",k},{"Row",k}use k columns or rows
    {"Column",UpTo[k]},{"Row",UpTo[k]}use at most k columns or rows
  • Visualization functions for specialized domains may have alternative settings.
