=head1 NAME

Chart - A class for writing Excel Charts.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

To create a simple Excel file with a chart using Excel::Writer::XLSX:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Excel::Writer::XLSX;

    my $workbook  = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'chart.xlsx' );
    my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();

    # Add the worksheet data the chart refers to.
    my $data = [
        [ 'Category', 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ],
        [ 'Value',    1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ],

    ];

    $worksheet->write( 'A1', $data );

    # Add a worksheet chart.
    my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'column' );

    # Configure the chart.
    $chart->add_series(
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
    );

    $workbook->close();

    __END__


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<Chart> module is an abstract base class for modules that implement charts in L<Excel::Writer::XLSX>. The information below is applicable to all of the available subclasses.

The C<Chart> module isn't used directly. A chart object is created via the Workbook C<add_chart()> method where the chart type is specified:

    my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'column' );

Currently the supported chart types are:

=over

=item * C<area>

Creates an Area (filled line) style chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Area>.

=item * C<bar>

Creates a Bar style (transposed histogram) chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Bar>.

=item * C<column>

Creates a column style (histogram) chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Column>.

=item * C<line>

Creates a Line style chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Line>.

=item * C<pie>

Creates a Pie style chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Pie>.

=item * C<doughnut>

Creates a Doughnut style chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Doughnut>.

=item * C<scatter>

Creates a Scatter style chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Scatter>.

=item * C<stock>

Creates a Stock style chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Stock>.

=item * C<radar>

Creates a Radar style chart. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Radar>.

=back

Chart subtypes are also supported in some cases:

    $workbook->add_chart( type => 'bar', subtype => 'stacked' );

The currently available subtypes are:

    area
        stacked
        percent_stacked

    bar
        stacked
        percent_stacked

    column
        stacked
        percent_stacked

    scatter
        straight_with_markers
        straight
        smooth_with_markers
        smooth

    line
        stacked
        percent_stacked

    radar
        with_markers
        filled


=head1 CHART METHODS

Methods that are common to all chart types are documented below. See the documentation for each of the above chart modules for chart specific information.

=head2 add_series()

In an Excel chart a "series" is a collection of information such as values, X axis labels and the formatting that define which data is plotted.

With an Excel::Writer::XLSX chart object the C<add_series()> method is used to set the properties for a series:

    $chart->add_series(
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$10', # Optional.
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$10', # Required.
        line       => { color => 'blue' },
    );

The properties that can be set are:

=over

=item * C<values>

This is the most important property of a series and must be set for every chart object. It links the chart with the worksheet data that it displays. A formula or array ref can be used for the data range, see below.

=item * C<categories>

This sets the chart category labels. The category is more or less the same as the X axis. In most chart types the C<categories> property is optional and the chart will just assume a sequential series from C<1 .. n>.

=item * C<name>

Set the name for the series. The name is displayed in the chart legend and in the formula bar. The name property is optional and if it isn't supplied it will default to C<Series 1 .. n>.

=item * C<line>

Set the properties of the series line type such as colour and width. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

=item * C<border>

Set the border properties of the series such as colour and style. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

=item * C<fill>

Set the fill properties of the series such as colour. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

=item * C<pattern>

Set the pattern properties of the series. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

=item * C<gradient>

Set the gradient properties of the series. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

=item * C<marker>

Set the properties of the series marker such as style and colour. See the L</SERIES OPTIONS> section below.

=item * C<trendline>

Set the properties of the series trendline such as linear, polynomial and moving average types. See the L</SERIES OPTIONS> section below.

=item * C<smooth>

The C<smooth> option is used to set the smooth property of a line series. See the L</SERIES OPTIONS> section below.

=item * C<y_error_bars>

Set vertical error bounds for a chart series. See the L</SERIES OPTIONS> section below.

=item * C<x_error_bars>

Set horizontal error bounds for a chart series. See the L</SERIES OPTIONS> section below.

=item * C<data_labels>

Set data labels for the series. See the L</SERIES OPTIONS> section below.

=item * C<points>

Set properties for individual points in a series. See the L</SERIES OPTIONS> section below.

=item * C<invert_if_negative>

Invert the fill colour for negative values. Usually only applicable to column and bar charts.

=item * C<overlap>

Set the overlap between series in a Bar/Column chart. The range is +/- 100. Default is 0.

    overlap => 20,

Note, it is only necessary to apply this property to one series of the chart.

=item * C<gap>

Set the gap between series in a Bar/Column chart. The range is 0 to 500. Default is 150.

    gap => 200,

Note, it is only necessary to apply this property to one series of the chart.

=back

The C<categories> and C<values> can take either a range formula such as C<=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7> or, more usefully when generating the range programmatically, an array ref with zero indexed row/column values:

     [ $sheetname, $row_start, $row_end, $col_start, $col_end ]

The following are equivalent:

    $chart->add_series( categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7'      ); # Same as ...
    $chart->add_series( categories => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 6, 0, 0 ] ); # Zero-indexed.

You can add more than one series to a chart. In fact, some chart types such as C<stock> require it. The series numbering and order in the Excel chart will be the same as the order in which they are added in Excel::Writer::XLSX.

    # Add the first series.
    $chart->add_series(
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
        name       => 'Test data series 1',
    );

    # Add another series. Same categories. Different range values.
    $chart->add_series(
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7',
        name       => 'Test data series 2',
    );

It is also possible to specify non-contiguous ranges:

    $chart->add_series(
        categories      => '=(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$9,Sheet1!$A$14:$A$25)',
        values          => '=(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$9,Sheet1!$B$14:$B$25)',
    );


=head2 set_x_axis()

The C<set_x_axis()> method is used to set properties of the X axis.

    $chart->set_x_axis( name => 'Quarterly results' );

The properties that can be set are:

    name
    name_font
    name_layout
    num_font
    num_format
    line
    fill
    pattern
    gradient
    min
    max
    minor_unit
    major_unit
    interval_unit
    interval_tick
    crossing
    reverse
    position_axis
    log_base
    label_position
    major_gridlines
    minor_gridlines
    visible
    date_axis
    text_axis
    minor_unit_type
    major_unit_type
    minor_tick_mark
    major_tick_mark
    display_units
    display_units_visible

These are explained below. Some properties are only applicable to value or category axes, as indicated. See L<Value and Category Axes> for an explanation of Excel's distinction between the axis types.

=over

=item * C<name>


Set the name (title or caption) for the axis. The name is displayed below the X axis. The C<name> property is optional. The default is to have no axis name. (Applicable to category and value axes).

    $chart->set_x_axis( name => 'Quarterly results' );

The name can also be a formula such as C<=Sheet1!$A$1>.

=item * C<name_font>

Set the font properties for the axis title. (Applicable to category and value axes).

    $chart->set_x_axis( name_font => { name => 'Arial', size => 10 } );

=item * C<name_layout>

Set the C<(x, y)> position of the axis caption in chart relative units. (Applicable to category and value axes).

    $chart->set_x_axis(
        name        => 'X axis',
        name_layout => {
            x => 0.34,
            y => 0.85,
        }
    );

See the L</CHART LAYOUT> section below.

=item * C<num_font>

Set the font properties for the axis numbers. (Applicable to category and value axes).

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_font => { bold => 1, italic => 1 } );

See the L</CHART FONTS> section below.

=item * C<num_format>

Set the number format for the axis. (Applicable to category and value axes).

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_format => '#,##0.00' );
    $chart->set_y_axis( num_format => '0.00%'    );

The number format is similar to the Worksheet Cell Format C<num_format> apart from the fact that a format index cannot be used. The explicit format string must be used as shown above. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX/set_num_format()> for more information.

=item * C<line>

Set the properties of the axis line type such as colour and width. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

    $chart->set_x_axis( line => { none => 1 });


=item * C<fill>

Set the fill properties of the axis such as colour. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below. Note, in Excel the axis fill is applied to the area of the numbers of the axis and not to the area of the axis bounding box. That background is set from the chartarea fill.

=item * C<pattern>

Set the pattern properties of the axis such as colour. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

=item * C<gradient>

Set the gradient properties of the axis such as colour. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

=item * C<min>

Set the minimum value for the axis range. (Applicable to value axes only.)

    $chart->set_x_axis( min => 20 );

=item * C<max>

Set the maximum value for the axis range. (Applicable to value axes only.)

    $chart->set_x_axis( max => 80 );

=item * C<minor_unit>

Set the increment of the minor units in the axis range. (Applicable to value axes only.)

    $chart->set_x_axis( minor_unit => 0.4 );

=item * C<major_unit>

Set the increment of the major units in the axis range. (Applicable to value axes only.)

    $chart->set_x_axis( major_unit => 2 );

=item * C<interval_unit>

Set the interval unit for a category axis. (Applicable to category axes only.)

    $chart->set_x_axis( interval_unit => 2 );

=item * C<interval_tick>

Set the tick interval for a category axis. (Applicable to category axes only.)

    $chart->set_x_axis( interval_tick => 4 );

=item * C<crossing>

Set the position where the y axis will cross the x axis. (Applicable to category and value axes.)

The C<crossing> value can either be the string C<'max'> to set the crossing at the maximum axis value or a numeric value.

    $chart->set_x_axis( crossing => 3 );
    # or
    $chart->set_x_axis( crossing => 'max' );

B<For category axes the numeric value must be an integer> to represent the category number that the axis crosses at. For value axes it can have any value associated with the axis.

If crossing is omitted (the default) the crossing will be set automatically by Excel based on the chart data.

=item * C<position_axis>

Position the axis on or between the axis tick marks. (Applicable to category axes only.)

There are two allowable values C<on_tick> and C<between>:

    $chart->set_x_axis( position_axis => 'on_tick' );
    $chart->set_x_axis( position_axis => 'between' );

=item * C<reverse>

    points
    smooth

=head2 Marker

The marker format specifies the properties of the markers used to distinguish series on a chart. In general only Line and Scatter chart types and trendlines use markers.

The following properties can be set for C<marker> formats in a chart.

    type
    size
    border
    fill
    pattern
    gradient

The C<type> property sets the type of marker that is used with a series.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        marker     => { type => 'diamond' },
    );

The following C<type> properties can be set for C<marker> formats in a chart. These are shown in the same order as in the Excel format dialog.

    automatic
    none
    square
    diamond
    triangle
    x
    star
    short_dash
    long_dash
    circle
    plus

The C<automatic> type is a special case which turns on a marker using the default marker style for the particular series number.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        marker     => { type => 'automatic' },
    );

If C<automatic> is on then other marker properties such as size, border or fill cannot be set.

The C<size> property sets the size of the marker and is generally used in conjunction with C<type>.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        marker     => { type => 'diamond', size => 7 },
    );

Nested C<border> and C<fill> properties can also be set for a marker. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        marker     => {
            type    => 'square',
            size    => 5,
            border  => { color => 'red' },
            fill    => { color => 'yellow' },
        },
    );


=head2 Trendline

A trendline can be added to a chart series to indicate trends in the data such as a moving average or a polynomial fit.

The following properties can be set for trendlines in a chart series.

    type
    order               (for polynomial trends)
    period              (for moving average)
    forward             (for all except moving average)
    backward            (for all except moving average)
    name
    line
    intercept           (for exponential, linear and polynomial only)
    display_equation    (for all except moving average)
    display_r_squared   (for all except moving average)


The C<type> property sets the type of trendline in the series.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline  => { type => 'linear' },
    );

The available C<trendline> types are:

    exponential
    linear
    log
    moving_average
    polynomial
    power

A C<polynomial> trendline can also specify the C<order> of the polynomial. The default value is 2.

    $chart->add_series(
        values    => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline => {
            type  => 'polynomial',
            order => 3,
        },
    );

A C<moving_average> trendline can also specify the C<period> of the moving average. The default value is 2.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline  => {
            type   => 'moving_average',
            period => 3,
        },
    );

The C<forward> and C<backward> properties set the forecast period of the trendline.

    $chart->add_series(
        values    => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline => {
            type     => 'linear',
            forward  => 0.5,
            backward => 0.5,
        },
    );

The C<name> property sets an optional name for the trendline that will appear in the chart legend. If it isn't specified the Excel default name will be displayed. This is usually a combination of the trendline type and the series name.

    $chart->add_series(
        values    => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline => {
            type => 'linear',
            name => 'Interpolated trend',
        },
    );

The C<intercept> property sets the point where the trendline crosses the Y (value) axis:

    $chart->add_series(
        values    => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline => {
            type      => 'linear',
            intercept => 0.8,
        },
    );


The C<display_equation> property displays the trendline equation on the chart.

    $chart->add_series(
        values    => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline => {
            type             => 'linear',
            display_equation => 1,
        },
    );

The C<display_r_squared> property displays the R squared value of the trendline on the chart.

    $chart->add_series(
        values    => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline => {
            type              => 'linear',
            display_r_squared => 1
        },
    );


Several of these properties can be set in one go:

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        trendline  => {
            type              => 'polynomial',
            name              => 'My trend name',
            order             => 2,
            forward           => 0.5,
            backward          => 0.5,
            intercept         => 1.5,
            display_equation  => 1,
            display_r_squared => 1,
            line              => {
                color     => 'red',
                width     => 1,
                dash_type => 'long_dash',
            }
        },
    );

Trendlines cannot be added to series in a stacked chart or pie chart, radar chart, doughnut or (when implemented) to 3D, or surface charts.

=head2 Error Bars

Error bars can be added to a chart series to indicate error bounds in the data. The error bars can be vertical C<y_error_bars> (the most common type) or horizontal C<x_error_bars> (for Bar and Scatter charts only).

The following properties can be set for error bars in a chart series.

    type
    value        (for all types except standard error and custom)
    plus_values  (for custom only)
    minus_values (for custom only)
    direction
    end_style
    line

The C<type> property sets the type of error bars in the series.

    $chart->add_series(
        values       => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        y_error_bars => { type => 'standard_error' },
    );

The available error bars types are available:

    fixed
    percentage
    standard_deviation
    standard_error
    custom

All error bar types, except for C<standard_error> and C<custom> must also have a value associated with it for the error bounds:

    $chart->add_series(
        values       => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        y_error_bars => {
            type  => 'percentage',
            value => 5,
        },
    );

The C<custom> error bar type must specify C<plus_values> and C<minus_values> which should either by a C<Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5> type range formula or an arrayref of
values:

    $chart->add_series(
        categories   => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        values       => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        y_error_bars => {
            type         => 'custom',
            plus_values  => '=Sheet1!$C$1:$C$5',
            minus_values => '=Sheet1!$D$1:$D$5',
        },
    );

    # or


    $chart->add_series(
        categories   => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        values       => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        y_error_bars => {
            type         => 'custom',
            plus_values  => [1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
            minus_values => [2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
        },
    );

Note, as in Excel the items in the C<minus_values> do not need to be negative.

The C<direction> property sets the direction of the error bars. It should be one of the following:

    plus    # Positive direction only.
    minus   # Negative direction only.
    both    # Plus and minus directions, The default.

The C<end_style> property sets the style of the error bar end cap. The options are 1 (the default) or 0 (for no end cap):

    $chart->add_series(
        values       => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        y_error_bars => {
            type      => 'fixed',
            value     => 2,
            end_style => 0,
            direction => 'minus'
        },
    );



=head2 Data Labels

Data labels can be added to a chart series to indicate the values of the plotted data points.

The following properties can be set for C<data_labels> formats in a chart.

    value
    category
    series_name
    position
    percentage
    leader_lines
    separator
    legend_key
    num_format
    font
    border
    fill
    pattern
    gradient
    custom

The C<value> property turns on the I<Value> data label for a series.

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        data_labels => { value => 1 },
    );

The C<category> property turns on the I<Category Name> data label for a series.

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        data_labels => { category => 1 },
    );


The C<series_name> property turns on the I<Series Name> data label for a series.

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        data_labels => { series_name => 1 },
    );

The C<position> property is used to position the data label for a series.

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        data_labels => { value => 1, position => 'center' },
    );

In Excel the data label positions vary for different chart types. The allowable positions are:

    |  Position     |  Line     |  Bar      |  Pie      |  Area     |
    |               |  Scatter  |  Column   |  Doughnut |  Radar    |
    |               |  Stock    |           |           |           |
    |---------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
    |  center       |  Yes      |  Yes      |  Yes      |  Yes*     |
    |  right        |  Yes*     |           |           |           |
    |  left         |  Yes      |           |           |           |
    |  above        |  Yes      |           |           |           |
    |  below        |  Yes      |           |           |           |
    |  inside_base  |           |  Yes      |           |           |
    |  inside_end   |           |  Yes      |  Yes      |           |
    |  outside_end  |           |  Yes*     |  Yes      |           |
    |  best_fit     |           |           |  Yes*     |           |

Note: The * indicates the default position for each chart type in Excel, if a position isn't specified.

The C<percentage> property is used to turn on the display of data labels as a I<Percentage> for a series. It is mainly used for pie and doughnut charts.

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        data_labels => { percentage => 1 },
    );

The C<leader_lines> property is used to turn on  I<Leader Lines> for the data label for a series. It is mainly used for pie charts.

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        data_labels => { value => 1, leader_lines => 1 },
    );

Note: Even when leader lines are turned on they aren't automatically visible in Excel or Excel::Writer::XLSX. Due to an Excel limitation (or design) leader lines only appear if the data label is moved manually or if the data labels are very close and need to be adjusted automatically.

The C<separator> property is used to change the separator between multiple data label items:

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        data_labels => { percentage => 1 },
        data_labels => { value => 1, category => 1, separator => "\n" },
    );

The separator value must be one of the following strings:

            ','
            ';'
            '.'
            "\n"
            ' '

The C<legend_key> property is used to turn on  I<Legend Key> for the data label for a series:

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        data_labels => { value => 1, legend_key => 1 },
    );


The C<num_format> property is used to set the number format for the data labels.

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        data_labels => { value => 1, num_format => '#,##0.00' },
    );

The number format is similar to the Worksheet Cell Format C<num_format> apart from the fact that a format index cannot be used. The explicit format string must be used as shown above. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX/set_num_format()> for more information.

The C<font> property is used to set the font properties of the data labels in a series:

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        data_labels => {
            value => 1,
            font  => { name => 'Consolas' }
        },
    );

The C<font> property is also used to rotate the data labels in a series:

    $chart->add_series(
        values      => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        data_labels => {
            value => 1,
            font  => { rotation => 45 }
        },
    );

See the L</CHART FONTS> section below.

The C<border> property sets the border properties of the data labels such as colour and style. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

The C<fill> property sets the fill properties of the data labels such as colour. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

Example of setting data label formatting:

    $chart->add_series(
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
        data_labels => { value  => 1,
                         border => {color => 'red'},
                         fill   => {color => 'yellow'} },
    );

The C<pattern> property sets the pattern properties of the data labels. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

The C<gradient> property sets the gradient properties of the data labels. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

The C<custom> property is used to set the properties of individual data labels, see below.


=head2 Custom Data Labels

The C<custom> property data label property is used to set the properties of individual data labels in a series. The most common use for this is to set custom text or number labels:

    my $custom_labels = [
        { value => 'Jan' },
        { value => 'Feb' },
        { value => 'Mar' },
        { value => 'Apr' },
        { value => 'May' },
        { value => 'Jun' },
    ];

    $chart->add_series(
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
        data_labels => { value => 1, custom => $custom_labels },
    );

As shown in the previous examples th C<custom> property should be a list of dicts. Any property dict that is set to C<undef> or not included in the list will be assigned the default data label value:

    my $custom_labels = [
        undef,
        { value => 'Feb' },
        { value => 'Mar' },
        { value => 'Apr' },
    ];

The property elements of the C<custom> lists should be dicts with the following allowable keys/sub-properties:

    value
    font
    border
    fill
    pattern
    gradient
    delete

The C<value> property should be a string, number or formula string that refers to a cell from which the value will be taken:

    $custom_labels = [
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$2' },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$3' },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$4' },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$5' },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$6' },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$7' },
    ];

The C<font> property is used to set the font of the custom data label of a series (See the L</CHART FONTS> section below):

    $custom_labels = [
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$1', font => { color => 'red' } },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$2', font => { color => 'red' } },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$2', font => { color => 'red' } },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$4', font => { color => 'red' } },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$5', font => { color => 'red' } },
        { value => '=Sheet1!$C$6', font => { color => 'red' } },
    ];

The C<border> property sets the border properties of the data labels such as colour and style. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

The C<fill> property sets the fill properties of the data labels such as colour. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

Example of setting custom data label formatting:

    $custom_labels = [
        { value => 'Jan', border => {color => 'blue'} },
        { value => 'Feb' },
        { value => 'Mar' },
        { value => 'Apr' },
        { value => 'May' },
        { value => 'Jun', fill   => {color => 'green'} },
    ];

The C<pattern> property sets the pattern properties of the data labels. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

The C<gradient> property sets the gradient properties of the data labels. See the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below.

The C<delete> property can be used to delete labels in a series. This can be
useful if you want to highlight one or more cells in the series, for example
the maximum and the minimum:

    $custom_labels = [
        undef,
        { delete => 1 },
        { delete => 1 },
        { delete => 1 },
        { delete => 1 },
        undef,
    ];


=head2 Points

In general formatting is applied to an entire series in a chart. However, it is occasionally required to format individual points in a series. In particular this is required for Pie and Doughnut charts where each segment is represented by a point.

In these cases it is possible to use the C<points> property of C<add_series()>:

    $chart->add_series(
        values => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$3',
        points => [
            { fill => { color => '#FF0000' } },
            { fill => { color => '#CC0000' } },
            { fill => { color => '#990000' } },
        ],
    );

The C<points> property takes an array ref of format options (see the L</CHART FORMATTING> section below). To assign default properties to points in a series pass C<undef> values in the array ref:

    # Format point 3 of 3 only.
    $chart->add_series(
        values => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$3',
        points => [
            undef,
            undef,
            { fill => { color => '#990000' } },
        ],
    );

    # Format the first point only.
    $chart->add_series(
        values => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$3',
        points => [ { fill => { color => '#FF0000' } } ],
    );

=head2 Smooth

The C<smooth> option is used to set the smooth property of a line series. It is only applicable to the C<Line> and C<Scatter> chart types.

    $chart->add_series( values => '=Sheet1!$C$1:$C$5',
                        smooth => 1 );


=head1 CHART FORMATTING

The following chart formatting properties can be set for any chart object that they apply to (and that are supported by Excel::Writer::XLSX) such as chart lines, column fill areas, plot area borders, markers, gridlines and other chart elements documented above.

    line
    border
    fill
    pattern
    gradient

Chart formatting properties are generally set using hash refs.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        line       => { color => 'blue' },
    );

In some cases the format properties can be nested. For example a C<marker> may contain C<border> and C<fill> sub-properties.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        line       => { color => 'blue' },
        marker     => {
            type    => 'square',
            size    => 5,
            border  => { color => 'red' },
            fill    => { color => 'yellow' },
        },
    );

=head2 Line

The line format is used to specify properties of line objects that appear in a chart such as a plotted line on a chart or a border.

The following properties can be set for C<line> formats in a chart.

    none
    color
    width
    dash_type
    transparency


The C<none> property is uses to turn the C<line> off (it is always on by default except in Scatter charts). This is useful if you wish to plot a series with markers but without a line.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        line       => { none => 1 },
    );


The C<color> property sets the color of the C<line>.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        line       => { color => 'red' },
    );

The available colours are shown in the main L<Excel::Writer::XLSX> documentation. It is also possible to set the colour of a line with a HTML style RGB colour:

    $chart->add_series(
        line       => { color => '#FF0000' },
    );


The C<width> property sets the width of the C<line>. It should be specified in increments of 0.25 of a point as in Excel.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        line       => { width => 3.25 },
    );

The C<dash_type> property sets the dash style of the line.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        line       => { dash_type => 'dash_dot' },
    );

The following C<dash_type> values are available. They are shown in the order that they appear in the Excel dialog.

    solid
    round_dot
    square_dot
    dash
    dash_dot
    long_dash
    long_dash_dot
    long_dash_dot_dot

The default line style is C<solid>.

The C<transparency> property sets the transparency of the C<line> color in the integer range 1 - 100. The color must be set for transparency to work, it doesn't work with an automatic/default color:

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        line       => { color => 'yellow', transparency => 50 },
    );

More than one C<line> property can be specified at a time:

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        line       => {
            color     => 'red',
            width     => 1.25,
            dash_type => 'square_dot',
        },
    );

=head2 Border

The C<border> property is a synonym for C<line>.

It can be used as a descriptive substitute for C<line> in chart types such as Bar and Column that have a border and fill style rather than a line style. In general chart objects with a C<border> property will also have a fill property.


=head2 Solid Fill

The fill format is used to specify filled areas of chart objects such as the interior of a column or the background of the chart itself.

The following properties can be set for C<fill> formats in a chart.

    none
    color
    transparency

The C<none> property is used to turn the C<fill> property off (it is generally on by default).


    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        fill       => { none => 1 },
    );

The C<color> property sets the colour of the C<fill> area.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        fill       => { color => 'red' },
    );

The available colours are shown in the main L<Excel::Writer::XLSX> documentation. It is also possible to set the colour of a fill with a HTML style RGB colour:

    $chart->add_series(
        fill       => { color => '#FF0000' },
    );

The C<transparency> property sets the transparency of the solid fill color in the integer range 1 - 100. The color must be set for transparency to work, it doesn't work with an automatic/default color:

    $chart->set_chartarea( fill => { color => 'yellow', transparency => 75 } );

The C<fill> format is generally used in conjunction with a C<border> format which has the same properties as a C<line> format.

    $chart->add_series(
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5',
        border     => { color => 'red' },
        fill       => { color => 'yellow' },
    );



=head2 Pattern Fill

The pattern fill format is used to specify pattern filled areas of chart objects such as the interior of a column or the background of the chart itself.

The following properties can be set for C<pattern> fill formats in a chart:

    pattern:   the pattern to be applied (required)
    fg_color:  the foreground color of the pattern (required)
    bg_color:  the background color (optional, defaults to white)


For example:

    $chart->set_plotarea(
        pattern => {
            pattern  => 'percent_5',
            fg_color => 'red',
            bg_color => 'yellow',
        }
    );

The following patterns can be applied:

    percent_5
    percent_10
    percent_20
    percent_25
    percent_30
    percent_40
    percent_50
    percent_60
    percent_70
    percent_75
    percent_80
    percent_90
    light_downward_diagonal
    light_upward_diagonal
    dark_downward_diagonal
    dark_upward_diagonal
    wide_downward_diagonal
    wide_upward_diagonal
    light_vertical
    light_horizontal
    narrow_vertical
    narrow_horizontal
    dark_vertical
    dark_horizontal
    dashed_downward_diagonal
    dashed_upward_diagonal
    dashed_horizontal
    dashed_vertical
    small_confetti
    large_confetti
    zigzag
    wave
    diagonal_brick
    horizontal_brick
    weave
    plaid
    divot
    dotted_grid
    dotted_diamond
    shingle
    trellis
    sphere
    small_grid
    large_grid
    small_check
    large_check
    outlined_diamond
    solid_diamond


The foreground color, C<fg_color>, is a required parameter and can be a Html style C<#RRGGBB> string or a limited number of named colors. The available colours are shown in the main L<Excel::Writer::XLSX> documentation.

The background color, C<bg_color>, is optional and defaults to black.

If a pattern fill is used on a chart object it overrides the solid fill properties of the object.


=head2 Gradient Fill

The gradient fill format is used to specify gradient filled areas of chart objects such as the interior of a column or the background of the chart itself.


The following properties can be set for C<gradient> fill formats in a chart:

    colors:    a list of colors
    positions: an optional list of positions for the colors
    type:      the optional type of gradient fill
    angle:     the optional angle of the linear fill

The C<colors> property sets a list of colors that define the C<gradient>:

    $chart->set_plotarea(
        gradient => { colors => [ '#DDEBCF', '#9CB86E', '#156B13' ] }
    );

Excel allows between 2 and 10 colors in a gradient but it is unlikely that you will require more than 2 or 3.

As with solid or pattern fill it is also possible to set the colors of a gradient with a Html style C<#RRGGBB> string or a limited number of named colors. The available colours are shown in the main L<Excel::Writer::XLSX> documentation:

    $chart->add_series(
        values   => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        gradient => { colors => [ 'red', 'green' ] }
    );

The C<positions> defines an optional list of positions, between 0 and 100, of
where the colors in the gradient are located. Default values are provided for
C<colors> lists of between 2 and 4 but they can be specified if required:

    $chart->add_series(
        values   => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        gradient => {
            colors    => [ '#DDEBCF', '#156B13' ],
            positions => [ 10,        90 ],
        }
    );

The C<type> property can have one of the following values:

    linear        (the default)
    radial
    rectangular
    path

For example:

    $chart->add_series(
        values   => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        gradient => {
            colors => [ '#DDEBCF', '#9CB86E', '#156B13' ],
            type   => 'radial'
        }
    );

If C<type> isn't specified it defaults to C<linear>.

For a C<linear> fill the angle of the gradient can also be specified:

    $chart->add_series(
        values   => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5',
        gradient => { colors => [ '#DDEBCF', '#9CB86E', '#156B13' ],
                      angle => 30 }
    );

The default angle is 90 degrees.

If gradient fill is used on a chart object it overrides the solid fill and pattern fill properties of the object.




=head1 CHART FONTS

The following font properties can be set for any chart object that they apply to (and that are supported by Excel::Writer::XLSX) such as chart titles, axis labels, axis numbering and data labels. They correspond to the equivalent Worksheet cell Format object properties. See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX/FORMAT_METHODS> for more information.

    name
    size
    bold
    italic
    underline
    rotation
    color

The following explains the available font properties:

=over

=item * C<name>

Set the font name:

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_font => { name => 'Arial' } );

=item * C<size>

Set the font size:

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_font => { name => 'Arial', size => 10 } );

=item * C<bold>

Set the font bold property, should be 0 or 1:

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_font => { bold => 1 } );

=item * C<italic>

Set the font italic property, should be 0 or 1:

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_font => { italic => 1 } );

=item * C<underline>

Set the font underline property, should be 0 or 1:

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_font => { underline => 1 } );

=item * C<rotation>

Set the font rotation in the integer range -90 to 90, and 270-271:

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_font => { rotation => 45 } );

This is useful for displaying large axis data such as dates in a more compact format.

There are 2 special case angles outside the range -90 to 90:

=over

=item * 270: Stacked text, where the text runs from top to bottom.

=item * 271: A special variant of stacked text for East Asian fonts.

=back

=item * C<color>

Set the font color property. Can be a color index, a color name or HTML style RGB colour:

    $chart->set_x_axis( num_font => { color => 'red' } );
    $chart->set_y_axis( num_font => { color => '#92D050' } );

=back

Here is an example of Font formatting in a Chart program:

    # Format the chart title.
    $chart->set_title(
        name      => 'Sales Results Chart',
        name_font => {
            name  => 'Calibri',
            color => 'yellow',
        },
    );

    # Format the X-axis.
    $chart->set_x_axis(
        name      => 'Month',
        name_font => {
            name  => 'Arial',
            color => '#92D050'
        },
        num_font => {
            name  => 'Courier New',
            color => '#00B0F0',
        },
    );

    # Format the Y-axis.
    $chart->set_y_axis(
        name      => 'Sales (1000 units)',
        name_font => {
            name      => 'Century',
            underline => 1,
            color     => 'red'
        },
        num_font => {
            bold   => 1,
            italic => 1,
            color  => '#7030A0',
        },
    );



=head1 CHART LAYOUT

The position of the chart in the worksheet is controlled by the C<set_size()> method shown above.

It is also possible to change the layout of the following chart sub-objects:

    plotarea
    legend
    title
    x_axis caption
    y_axis caption

Here are some examples:

    $chart->set_plotarea(
        layout => {
            x      => 0.35,
            y      => 0.26,
            width  => 0.62,
            height => 0.50,
        }
    );

    $chart->set_legend(
        layout => {
            x      => 0.80,
            y      => 0.37,
            width  => 0.12,
            height => 0.25,
        }
    );

    $chart->set_title(
        name   => 'Title',
        layout => {
            x => 0.42,
            y => 0.14,
        }
    );

    $chart->set_x_axis(
        name        => 'X axis',
        name_layout => {
            x => 0.34,
            y => 0.85,
        }
    );

Note that it is only possible to change the width and height for the C<plotarea> and C<legend> objects. For the other text based objects the width and height are changed by the font dimensions.

The layout units must be a float in the range C<0 < x <= 1> and are expressed as a percentage of the chart dimensions as shown below:

=begin html

<p><center><img src="http://jmcnamara.github.io/excel-writer-xlsx/images/examples/layout.png" width="826" height="423" alt="Chart object layout." /></center></p>

=end html

From this the layout units are calculated as follows:

    layout:
        width  = w / W
        height = h / H
        x      = a / W
        y      = b / H

These units are slightly cumbersome but are required by Excel so that the chart object positions remain relative to each other if the chart is resized by the user.

Note that for C<plotarea> the origin is the top left corner in the plotarea itself and does not take into account the axes.


=head1 WORKSHEET METHODS

In Excel a chartsheet (i.e, a chart that isn't embedded) shares properties with data worksheets such as tab selection, headers, footers, margins, and print properties.

In Excel::Writer::XLSX you can set chartsheet properties using the same methods that are used for Worksheet objects.

The following Worksheet methods are also available through a non-embedded Chart object:

    get_name()
    activate()
    select()
    hide()
    set_first_sheet()
    protect()
    set_zoom()
    set_tab_color()

    set_landscape()
    set_portrait()
    set_paper()
    set_margins()
    set_header()
    set_footer()

See L<Excel::Writer::XLSX> for a detailed explanation of these methods.

=head1 EXAMPLE

Here is a complete example that demonstrates some of the available features when creating a chart.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Excel::Writer::XLSX;

    my $workbook  = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'chart.xlsx' );
    my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
    my $bold      = $workbook->add_format( bold => 1 );

    # Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
    my $headings = [ 'Number', 'Batch 1', 'Batch 2' ];
    my $data = [
        [ 2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7 ],
        [ 10, 40, 50, 20, 10, 50 ],
        [ 30, 60, 70, 50, 40, 30 ],

    ];

    $worksheet->write( 'A1', $headings, $bold );
    $worksheet->write( 'A2', $data );

    # Create a new chart object. In this case an embedded chart.
    my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'column', embedded => 1 );

    # Configure the first series.
    $chart->add_series(
        name       => '=Sheet1!$B$1',
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
    );

    # Configure second series. Note alternative use of array ref to define
    # ranges: [ $sheetname, $row_start, $row_end, $col_start, $col_end ].
    $chart->add_series(
        name       => '=Sheet1!$C$1',
        categories => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 6, 0, 0 ],
        values     => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 6, 2, 2 ],
    );

    # Add a chart title and some axis labels.
    $chart->set_title ( name => 'Results of sample analysis' );
    $chart->set_x_axis( name => 'Test number' );
    $chart->set_y_axis( name => 'Sample length (mm)' );

    # Set an Excel chart style. Blue colors with white outline and shadow.
    $chart->set_style( 11 );

    # Insert the chart into the worksheet (with an offset).
    $worksheet->insert_chart( 'D2', $chart, { x_offset => 25, y_offset => 10 } );

    $workbook->close();

    __END__

=head1 Value and Category Axes

Excel differentiates between a chart axis that is used for series B<categories> and an axis that is used for series B<values>.

In the example above the X axis is the category axis and each of the values is evenly spaced. The Y axis (in this case) is the value axis and points are displayed according to their value.

Since Excel treats the axes differently it also handles their formatting differently and exposes different properties for each.

As such some of C<Excel::Writer::XLSX> axis properties can be set for a value axis, some can be set for a category axis and some properties can be set for both.

For example the C<min> and C<max> properties can only be set for value axes and C<reverse> can be set for both. The type of axis that a property applies to is shown in the C<set_x_axis()> section of the documentation above.

Some charts such as C<Scatter> and C<Stock> have two value axes.

Date Axes are a special type of category axis which are explained below.

=head1 Date Category Axes

Date Category Axes are category axes that display time or date information. In Excel::Writer::XLSX Date Category Axes are set using the C<date_axis> option:

    $chart->set_x_axis( date_axis => 1 );

In general you should also specify a number format for a date axis although Excel will usually default to the same format as the data being plotted:

    $chart->set_x_axis(
        date_axis         => 1,
        num_format        => 'dd/mm/yyyy',
    );

Excel doesn't normally allow minimum and maximum values to be set for category axes. However, date axes are an exception. The C<min> and C<max> values should be set as Excel times or dates:

    $chart->set_x_axis(
        date_axis         => 1,
        min               => $worksheet->convert_date_time('2013-01-02T'),
        max               => $worksheet->convert_date_time('2013-01-09T'),
        num_format        => 'dd/mm/yyyy',
    );

For date axes it is also possible to set the type of the major and minor units:

    $chart->set_x_axis(
        date_axis         => 1,
        minor_unit        => 4,
        minor_unit_type   => 'months',
        major_unit        => 1,
        major_unit_type   => 'years',
        num_format        => 'dd/mm/yyyy',
    );


=head1 Secondary Axes

It is possible to add a secondary axis of the same type to a chart by setting the C<y2_axis> or C<x2_axis> property of the series:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Excel::Writer::XLSX;

    my $workbook  = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'chart_secondary_axis.xlsx' );
    my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();

    # Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
    my $data = [
        [ 2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7 ],
        [ 10, 40, 50, 20, 10, 50 ],

    ];

    $worksheet->write( 'A1', $data );

    # Create a new chart object. In this case an embedded chart.
    my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'line', embedded => 1 );

    # Configure a series with a secondary axis
    $chart->add_series(
        values  => '=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$6',
        y2_axis => 1,
    );

    $chart->add_series(
        values => '=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$6',
    );


    # Insert the chart into the worksheet.
    $worksheet->insert_chart( 'D2', $chart );

    $workbook->close();

    __END__

It is also possible to have a secondary, combined, chart either with a shared or secondary axis, see below.

=head1 Combined Charts

It is also possible to combine two different chart types, for example a column and line chart to create a Pareto chart using the Chart C<combine()> method:


=begin html

<p><center><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmcnamara/XlsxWriter/master/dev/docs/source/_images/chart_pareto.png" alt="Chart image." /></center></p>

=end html


Here is a simpler example:

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Excel::Writer::XLSX;

    my $workbook  = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'chart_combined.xlsx' );
    my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
    my $bold      = $workbook->add_format( bold => 1 );

    # Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
    my $headings = [ 'Number', 'Batch 1', 'Batch 2' ];
    my $data = [
        [ 2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7 ],
        [ 10, 40, 50, 20, 10, 50 ],
        [ 30, 60, 70, 50, 40, 30 ],

    ];

    $worksheet->write( 'A1', $headings, $bold );
    $worksheet->write( 'A2', $data );

    #
    # In the first example we will create a combined column and line chart.
    # They will share the same X and Y axes.
    #

    # Create a new column chart. This will use this as the primary chart.
    my $column_chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'column', embedded => 1 );

    # Configure the data series for the primary chart.
    $column_chart->add_series(
        name       => '=Sheet1!$B$1',
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
    );

    # Create a new column chart. This will use this as the secondary chart.
    my $line_chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'line', embedded => 1 );

    # Configure the data series for the secondary chart.
    $line_chart->add_series(
        name       => '=Sheet1!$C$1',
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7',
    );

    # Combine the charts.
    $column_chart->combine( $line_chart );

    # Add a chart title and some axis labels. Note, this is done via the
    # primary chart.
    $column_chart->set_title( name => 'Combined chart - same Y axis' );
    $column_chart->set_x_axis( name => 'Test number' );
    $column_chart->set_y_axis( name => 'Sample length (mm)' );


    # Insert the chart into the worksheet
    $worksheet->insert_chart( 'E2', $column_chart );

    $workbook->close();

=begin html

<p><center><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmcnamara/XlsxWriter/master/dev/docs/source/_images/chart_combined1.png" alt="Chart image." /></center></p>

=end html



The secondary chart can also be placed on a secondary axis using the methods shown in the previous section.

In this case it is just necessary to add a C<y2_axis> parameter to the series and, if required, add a title using C<set_y2_axis()> B<of the secondary chart>. The following are the additions to the previous example to place the secondary chart on the secondary axis:

    ...

    $line_chart->add_series(
        name       => '=Sheet1!$C$1',
        categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
        values     => '=Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7',
        y2_axis    => 1,
    );

    ...

    # Note: the y2 properites are on the secondary chart.
    $line_chart2->set_y2_axis( name => 'Target length (mm)' );


=begin html

<p><center><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmcnamara/XlsxWriter/master/dev/docs/source/_images/chart_combined2.png" alt="Chart image." /></center></p>

=end html


The examples above use the concept of a I<primary> and I<secondary> chart. The primary chart is the chart that defines the primary X and Y axis. It is also used for setting all chart properties apart from the secondary data series. For example the chart title and axes properties should be set via the primary chart (except for the the secondary C<y2> axis properties which should be applied to the secondary chart).

See also C<chart_combined.pl> and C<chart_pareto.pl> examples in the distro for more detailed
examples.

There are some limitations on combined charts:

=over

=item * Pie charts cannot currently be combined.

=item * Scatter charts cannot currently be used as a primary chart but they can be used as a secondary chart.

=item * Bar charts can only combined secondary charts on a secondary axis. This is an Excel limitation.
