Dynamic chart formatting pane

Formatting Pane

As of Version 10, the Dynamic charting can be formatted from a task pane. The Formatting Pane is toggled from the Dynamic Chart area of the ribbon, which is visible once a Dynamic Chart is inserted and selected. The basic Dynamic charts (Column, Line, Bar, Area, Dot, Scatter, Pie, Marimekko and Maps) can be formatted as following:

For the new Message chart types there are an additional set of properties.

Variance Series

The chart types with a calculated Variance series (Absolute Variance, Relative Variance(%), Integrated Variance and Indicator Comparison) have preconfigured Styles (which depend on the selected chart type) that can be adjusted via the Formatting Pane. A button has been provided to switch the Positive and Negative formatting types which may be required depending on the business requirements.

When the Switch style button is pushed all style settings corresponding to the Positive Style will be transfered to the Negative style and the Dynamic Chart will automatically update.
