Combined Domain XY Chart

A combined domain XY chart is a composite chart allowing two or more "simple" XY charts share a single domain axis.

This is what combined domain XY chart looks like:

When a "simple" XY chart is added as a sub-chart to a combined domain XY chart, is has the following differences from its "standalone" version:

  • No Orientation property, since it inherits the orientation of parent combined chart.

Custom Properties of Sub-Charts

Every "simple" XY chart added as a sub-chart to a combined domain XY chart has several additional properties:
