Intro
This article describes the three types of scrolling direction for charts.
Horizontal
The main set of values is displayed horizontally. When width of the page doesn’t fit the entire set of values, you need to scroll horizontally to see them.
Examples:
Line chart
Column chart
Stacked column chart
Vertical
The main set of values is displayed vertically. When the height of the page doesn’t fit the entire set of values, you need to scroll vertically to see them.
Examples:
Horizontal waterfall chart
Bar chart
Stacked bar chart
Bidirectional
There is no main direction. Horizontal and vertical axes have the same weight.
This type of chart scrolling must be managed on a case-by-case basis.
Examples:
Geomap with pie charts
Tree map
Scatter plot
