What it means
Charts turn a selected range into a visual. The chart opens from the context menu and can update when data or selection changes.
Visualization guide
Charts data grid documentation
Select a range, then right-click Create chart. This page shows manual chart creation, live updates, and brush-to-filter.
When to use it
Use this when the current selection is the source of truth for the chart, but you want chart creation to stay manual. Keep it as the single entry point when you do not need a separate selection page.
Implementation notes
Use `charts.autoUpdate` when the chart should react to data edits as well as selection changes. Use `selection.enableCellSelection` and `selection.selectEntireColumnOnSelection` to shape the active range. Use `charts.autoUpdateSelection`, `charts.createChartMenu`, and `charts.controls.enableBrushSelection` to keep chart opening under the user's control. Use `charts.initialBrushRowIds`, `charts.controls.brushActions`, `charts.controls.brushSelectionModifier`, and `charts.onBrushSelection` for brush-driven filtering.
