Slope Chart fields and settings

Every field well and every setting in the format pane of version 1.0.1.0, read from the package you download. The internal names in grey are what a PBIR file or a report-authoring agent uses. Which features need a licence is on the Slope Chart page; every setting works in edit mode with or without one.

Setting a value in PBIR

In a visual.json, a setting goes under visual.objects, by card and internal name. Toggles take true or false, choices and text a value in single quotes ('auto'), numbers a D suffix (12D).
