Appearance data grid documentation

Tune axes, legend, tooltip, zoom, and chart-specific styling after the data is ready.

What it means

Appearance is the last chart step. It changes the look, not the data.

When to use it

Use this when the data is already correct and the chart just needs clearer presentation. Keep it separate from data science so style changes do not hide analysis changes.

Implementation notes

Use `charts.options.background`, `charts.options.plotBackground`, and `charts.options.palette` for the main shell palette. Use `charts.zoom`, `charts.zoom.initialRange`, `charts.zoom.height`, `charts.zoom.previewHeight`, `charts.zoom.minSpan`, and `charts.zoom.showPreview` when the chart should open with a focused window and a preview strip. Use `charts.options.axis`, `charts.options.legend`, `charts.options.tooltip`, and `charts.options.series` for shared chart styling. Use the shape-specific option groups when a chart type needs its own treatment.

Relevant API

Start with charts.zoom, charts.zoom.enabled, charts.zoom.height, charts.zoom.previewHeight, charts.zoom.minSpan, charts.zoom.initialRange, charts.zoom.initialRange.start, charts.zoom.initialRange.end. Open the live API reference for types and defaults.
