Chart customize( array $optionArray)

Sets any configuration option, with no checks for type / validity

This is method was added in 2.5 as a bandaid to remove the handcuffs from users who want to add options that Google has added, that I have not. I didn't intend to restrict the user to only select options, as the goal was to type check and validate. This method can be used to set any option, just pass in arrays with key value pairs for any setting.

If the setting is an object, per the google docs, then use multi-dimensional arrays and they will be converted upon rendering.

Parameters

array $optionArray Array of customization options for the chart

in IsStackedTrait at line 51
Chart isStacked( bool|string $isStacked)

If set to true, stacks the elements for all series at each domain value.

Note: In Column, Area, and SteppedArea charts, Google Charts reverses the order of legend items to better correspond with the stacking of the series elements (E.g. series 0 will be the bottom-most legend item). This does not apply to Bar Charts.

The isStacked option also supports 100% stacking, where the stacks of elements at each domain value are rescaled to add up to 100%.

The options for isStacked are:

false — elements will not stack. This is the default option. true — stacks elements for all series at each domain value. 'percent' — stacks elements for all series at each domain value and rescales them such that they add up to 100%, with each element's value calculated as a percentage of 100%. 'relative' — stacks elements for all series at each domain value and rescales them such that they add up to 1, with each element's value calculated as a fraction of 1. 'absolute' — functions the same as isStacked: true.

For 100% stacking, the calculated value for each element will appear in the tooltip after its actual value.

The target axis will default to tick values based on the relative 0-1 scale as fractions of 1 for 'relative', and 0-100% for 'percent' (Note: when using the 'percent' option, the axis/tick values are displayed as percentages, however the actual values are the relative 0-1 scale values. This is because the percentage axis ticks are the result of applying a format of "#.##%" to the relative 0-1 scale values. When using isStacked: 'percent', be sure to specify any ticks/gridlines using the relative 0-1 scale values). You can customize the gridlines/tick values and formatting using the appropriate hAxis/vAxis options.

100% stacking only supports data values of type number, and must have a baseline of zero.

Parameters

bool|string $isStacked

Chart vAxes( array $vAxisConfigArray)

Specifies properties for individual vertical axes

If the chart has multiple vertical axes. Each child object is a vAxis object, and can contain all the properties supported by vAxis. These property values override any global settings for the same property.

To specify a chart with multiple vertical axes, first define a new axis using series.targetAxisIndex, then configure the axis using vAxes.

Parameters

array $vAxisConfigArray Array of VerticalAxis configuration arrays

Return Value
