Options

These settings control only the axis itself. To customize the series mapped to the axis, use the dropdown next to the series/field.
The settings in the Y-Axis tab control the title, type, domain, scale, and stacking of the axis.

Axis types

The Type setting controls the type of Y-axis used in the visualization. Omni will select a default axis type depending on the data in the query, but you can override it using this setting. Note: Depending on the selected type, some settings - such as domain and scale - may become unavailable.

Labels

The settings in the Labels tab allow you to customize how labels associated with the Y-axis display in the visualization:
  • Show labels - If enabled, labels will display on the Y-axis
  • Show axis line - If enabled, a line representing the Y-axis will display
  • Show ticks - If enabled, ticks will display along the Y-axis
  • Font - Options for customizing the styling and color of Y-axis labels
    When selecting axis colors, note that there aren’t separate settings for light and dark mode.The default palette will adjust colors based on the selected mode - such as a dark axis in light mode - but when explicitly defined, the color you select will be used in both light and dark mode.
  • Format - Defines the format Y-axis labels use, such as the number of decimals for numbers
  • Label rotation - Controls the degree of rotation for Y-axis labels
  • Ticks - Controls the number of ticks that display between labels

Reference lines

Settings in the Reference line tab allow you to define a reference line, which is a quick way to set targets on a chart. There is limited configuration for these, so more complex use cases may be better served with table calculations as a regular, independent series.

Grid

Settings in the Grid tab control if and how grid lines display in the background of the visualization.

Vega-lite options

Long-tail axis configuration is available in the Vega-lite spec.
