This section is available for all chart types except for Word Cloud, however, the options in it vary among different chart types. All available options, regardless of the applicable chart type, have been listed and briefly described in this article. Options that are specific to some charts are discussed in more detail in the individual chart type articles and a link is provided where applicable.

Due to the varied options in each chart, these two sections have been explained in the individual chart types articles.
