Controlling the Appearance of Charts

Visualforce charts are highly customizable. You can combine various types of data series, control the colors of most elements in a chart, and control the look of markers, lines, and so on.

You can customize the following:

Line and fill colors for data series elements.
Opacity of fill colors and lines.
Marker shape and color for data points.
Line width for connecting lines.
Highlighting for data elements.
Tick and grid line styles for axes.
Legends, labels, and “tool tip”-style rollover annotations.

Many of the components and attributes that provide this control are explained in the Standard Visualforce Component Reference. Some effects require combinations of attributes and components, and are explained more completely in this document.
