Start by opening the Chart Properties dialog. Right-click the chart (in the template, or in the
Outline pane) and select Chart.
Every tab menu in the Chart Properties dialog, except the last one, gives direct access to a
number of layout options. For a description of the options see:
l "Bar Chart Properties dialog" on page732
l "Line Chart Properties dialog" on page752
l "Pie Chart Properties dialog" on page763
Adding and editing properties manually
The last tab menu in the Chart Properties dialog, the Source tab, reflects the choices made in
the other tabs. More importantly, this tab gives you the possibility to add in any amCharts
configuration option that is unavailable via the other tab menus.
On the Source tab, all settings are given in JSON. For example:
{
"type": "pie",
"legend": {
"enabled": false
},
"radius": "100",
"innerRadius": "30"
}
(The innerRadius option, found on the Pie tab in the Pie Chart properties, gives this Pie Chart
the shape of a donut.)
Note that only properties that were modified via one of the tab menus are included in the JSON
on the Source tab.
To change the chart, you can simply edit the JSON. For example, adding "handDrawn": "true"
(at the same level as the "type" property) will distort the lines of a Bar chart or Line chart,
producing a hand-drawn effect.
All configuration options can be found in the amCharts API documentation:
https://docs.amcharts.com/3/javascriptcharts/.
It depends on the class to which a property belongs, where in the JSON the property should be
added. Chart properties should be added at the highest level; for example:
{
"type": "serial",
"rotate": true,
