The chart format options are the most dynamic options and are based on the type of chart selected. For example for a pie chart you will be able to set the shadow colour and exploding slice options.
The common options found in the chart format drop down include interactivity options such as visible series selection.

Option Description Colour Set Define which colours the chart will use by default. The options are: Metric Colour: if a colour has been applied to a metric field in the view, this colour can be used in the chart. Monochrome: a colour can be defined here and shades of that colour will be used in the chart. Default/Configuration Colours: this uses the default set of colours defined by a system administrator. Reference Code Colour: if colours have been applied to a reference code, and a dimension field has that code applied the colours can be used. Hollow Shapes when using line shapes on a line chart this hollows the centre of the shape. Curved Lines when using a line chart this will curve the line, rather than being straight lines between each point.

Option Description Visible Series Selection This option will allow you to toggle between the series that you have selected for your chart (if Bar, Line style etc) or those that are available in your data set when only a single series can be selected for that chart type (Pie, Map) See: Visible Series Selection Annotations Annotations can be displayed on charts to prompt a user to view the comments made for a select data point. Option Time Series Options Date Slider If your report is a time series (eg you Label is a date and you gave selected time series) you will be able to turn on the date slider. This allows you to zoom in and out of time banded data. Yearly Comparison If you have a line chart which is a time series spanning more than 1 year you can use the yearly comparison to split the line into 12 month groups for easy comparison. When using this option the data granularity is set to month and cannot be changed. Date Granularity Allow you to set the time units of the chart to match the data set. Eg if data set is hourly you can view the time periods as hours. If you set the option greater than hourly ie day then your data will be aggregated to the day period.
