Choose a color from the drop-down list, or select Custom to customize a color in the Pick a Color dialog box. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color.

Data type: String

Texture Style Specifies the style of the texture to fill the element, when you set Fill Type of the element to "texture". Choose an option from the drop-down list.

Data type: Enumeration
Threshold Line (available only to bar, bench, line, and area charts)
Fill Threshold1 Specifies whether to fill the first threshold area with a semi-transparent color of the threshold line.

Data type: Boolean
Fill Threshold2 Specifies whether to fill the second threshold area with a semi-transparent color of the threshold line.

Data type: Boolean
Fill Transparency Specifies the transparency of the threshold line colors, in percent. Type a numeric value to change the transparency.

Data type: Integer
Show Threshold Line1 Specifies whether to show the first threshold line.

Data type: Boolean

Show Threshold Line2 Specifies whether to show the second threshold line.

Data type: Boolean
Threshold Line Color1 Specifies the color of the first threshold line. Choose a color from the drop-down list, or select Custom to customize a color in the Pick a Color dialog box. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color.

Data type: String

Threshold Line Color2 Specifies the color of the second threshold line. Choose a color from the drop-down list, or select Custom to customize a color in the Pick a Color dialog box. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color.

Data type: String
Threshold Line Style Specifies the style of the threshold lines. Choose an option from the drop-down list.

A threshold line marks a specific data point. You can use it to compare the data series to see whether the data is higher or lower than this point. For example, if you want to see whether the production zones successfully accomplish their production tasks, you can set a threshold line to represent the goal output, and another to represent the lowest acceptable output quantity. By using the threshold lines, you can spot out the zones that are out of the range at a glance. For 3-D chart, the threshold line value is represented by a plane.

Designer provides two threshold line styles:

  • Style1
    This style uses two threshold areas (Threshold Line1 and Threshold Line2) to emphasize the data series that are higher than the first threshold line or lower than the second threshold line.
  • Style2
    This style uses a single threshold area (Threshold Line1) to emphasize the data series that are between the higher and the lower threshold lines.

Data type: Enumeration
Threshold Value1 Specifies the value for the first threshold line.

Data type: Float

Threshold Value2 Specifies the value for the second threshold line.

Data type: Float
Mean Line (available only to bar, bench, line, and area charts)
Color Specifies the color of the mean line. Choose a color from the drop-down list, or select Custom to customize a color in the Pick a Color dialog box. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color.

Data type: String
Node Style Specifies the style of the nodes that represent the average values. Choose an option from the drop-down list.

Data type: Enumeration
Show Specifies whether to show a line that represents the average value of each category group.

Data type: Boolean
Type Specifies the type of the mean line. Choose an option from the drop-down list.

Data type: Enumeration
