Type: Yes or no
Default: False

Shown when Visual Type is Bar, Line or Scatter.

If the Visual Type is a bar, line, or scatter, this option will display the trace on a secondary Y-axis. This is useful when you want to display two different types of data on the same plot. Default: no.

Cumulative

Type: Yes or no

Plots the running total: each point is the sum of every value up to and including it, so a line of monthly figures becomes the year-to-date. Over a period with no value the total holds rather than dropping to zero. Line and scatter visuals only. Default: no.

Slice Labels
