Hi, Michael 

Sorry for the delayed response.

Thank you very much for these suggestions and the screenshot,

 i personally feel that they are very good ideas for future improvements of our available options of Google Charts engine.

I am not sure how difficult for our developers it might be to add this, but i will certainly pass the details to them and we will do our best to add it in the future.

If you could be so kind, please add this to our user's suggestions page, as well.

Please feel free to search on our suggestions page, 

 to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there,  and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

Thanks again, and happy new year to you on behalf of our Team, we wish you all the best in 2023!

Hi, Michael 

My apologies for the late response.

We had a New Years break and are back,   will do our best to be quick going forward.

Thank you. I  also wish you a Happy New Year, and all the best in 2023!

Thanks for creating the suggestion for our devs,

i can see that you also found that this might be possible with custom chart callbacks right now.

I will elaborate a bit about that,  there are certainly some custom solutions that can be done - they are not covered by our support, but our developers made examples on our documentation,

 i hope that it might be useful to get you started in the right direction if you wish to try this.

For example, on this Documentation page, you can see an example of how our developers applied a custom chart callback for Google Charts.

And to add general information, 

every chart engine has its own layout and its settings.

We use free libraries for chart engines, and they are limited as to what we can change from within the plugin's UI.

You can check out all the available chart engines and examples of wpDataCharts documentation here . 

If the options you need are not in the chart creation wizard,  you can try to find a custom solution using chart callbacks.

You can check our documentation about wpDataCharts callbacks. 

• Every chart exposes several options that customize its look and feel. Charts usually support custom options appropriate to that visualization. wpDataChart callbacks allow adding options that are available in Google Charts API, Highcharts API, and Chart.js API. 

• All necessary resources are available in charts engines API (depends on which one you use). Every engine has a different approach to chart settings. In wpDataChart callbacks, you have to adopt those settings to the wpDataChart object (you can take a look at examples for each engine in our documentation, and also in the Support help center). A huge number of examples for any area of programming can be found on stackoverflow.com (typing your problem in google and at the end add "site: stackoverflow.com" and Google will search only that website). Also, a lot of examples of charts, chart settings, and customization can be found on jsffidle.net (typing in google for example "line chart highcharts jsffidle")
• Please note that using hooks or wpDataTable and wpDataChart callbacks requires a certain level of programming skills and included support refers only to advice.

As we said, we will do our best to add more user-friendly native solutions in the future, but i hope that these informations might help if you wish to try a custom workaround for the time being.

Thank you, and of course, please don't hesitate to open new tickets for any new questions, we will be happy to advise.
