Colors
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Predefined Color by Series | The system automatically assigns a color to your series. When multiple data series are present, each will get a different color automatically to ensure distinction. |
| Custom Color by Series | Manually define the color for your entire series. You need to assign different colors for each series yourself to maintain visual clarity. |
| Custom Color by Datapoint | Assign individual colors to each data point within the series. This allows for more detailed color control, useful for emphasizing specific data items or for color coding. |
