A mixed category chart is a composite chart designed to combine two or more "simple" category charts within a single plot. These sub-charts share the plot and axes, but each of them has its own dataset and renderer. |
|
This is what mixed category chart looks like:
When a "simple" category chart is added as a sub-chart to a mixed category chart, is has the following differences from its "standalone" version:
| • | Axes of the sub-chart are added to the axes list of the container chart. The sub-chart has no own axes. Instead, it has references to the parent chart's axes to use for displaying the data. By default, the axes moved from sub-chart to its parent are referenced. |
| • | The sub-chart has no plot-related properties, since its data will be rendered on the parent's plot. |
| • | The sub-chart has no chart common properties, the parent mixed chart has its own set of chart common properties. |
| • | The sub-chart has no widget component default properties, except for the Bindings property, since it is not rendered separately. |
