Multiple Panes in JavaScript (ES5) Chart control

06 Jun 2023 / 6 minutes to read

Chart area can be divided into multiple panes using rows and columns.

Rows

To split the chart area vertically into number of rows, use rows property of the chart.

You can allocate space for each row by using the height property. The value can be either percentage or in pixel.
To associate a vertical axis to a particular row, specify its index to rowIndex property of the axis.
To customize each row’s bottom line, use border property.

To associate a horizontal axis to a particular column, specify its index to columnIndex property of the axis.
To customize each column’s bottom line, use [border property.
