Appendix: Chart Types
The following chart types are available for use in both universal charts and traditional chart. All chart types can be used with any data bind, but some types are incompatible with others and cannot be combined in the same chart area. All charts shown here are for illustrative purposes and may lack realistic details required in proper applications.
Some chart types also require additional configuration using the Other Options settings. These are specified where appropriate.
Refer to the following table for more information on the different chart types:
