Determine whether the final bar (located
on the far right of the widget) is
calculated by the widget or provided by
the Grid/Graph data
Provide a label or name for the final bar
The name is used as a label for the bar
on the far right of the widget. By default,
it is named Final. This option is available
only if the final bar is calculated by the
widget (see above).
Determine whether lines connecting
adjacent bars of the same series are
displayed
This option is available only if the widget
contains a single series.
Determine whether to show additional
series in tooltips
This option is available only if the Grid/
Graph contains attributes and metrics on
different axes.

labels on a single line or on staggered

Staggering labels allows all labels to be
visible if they do not all fit below the
widget when in a single line.
