Legends & labels

Control how your chart is labeled — and how your audience reads it.
Legends and data labels help clarify what’s being shown, especially in multi-series or comparison charts.

✅ How to adjust these settings

Both options are found in the Graph section of the toolbar:

🏷 Legend

• Displays the name and color of each series in the chart

• You can choose to show or hide the legend depending on what helps your audience

Legend position options vary by chart type:

• Bar/Column/Line → Top, Right, or None

• Pie charts → Above, Inline, or Right

• Other types (e.g. Heatmaps, Tables) → Legend may be disabled by default

💡 Graphy selects a default layout, but you can adjust it manually.

🏷 Data Labels

• Toggle on or off to show numeric values inside the chart

• Options include:

  • Raw values (e.g. 200, 15K, $2.4M)

  • Percentages (e.g. 25%, 8.3%) — commonly used in pie or funnel charts

💡 Label type depends on chart context. Pie charts, for example, default to percentages.

🎯 Use for:

• Making charts more readable at a glance

• Showing exact values for comparisons

• Clarifying what each color or line represents

💡 Tips

• Turn off legends for single-series charts to declutter

• Use data labels when exact values matter — but avoid overcrowding

• Combine with Headline Numbers for layered insight
