globals

[ root » graph » globals ]

Use the globals object to set styling attributes that apply globally across the chart(s) in the corresponding graphset array. This object is similar to a CSS stylesheet, in that the styling attributes will cascade down to all charts in the graphset. Those attributes can be overridden with local attributes in the individual chart object(s).
