    Show more than 250 colors in the legend

    Please increase the MaxValuesPerLegendItem from 250 to 1000 or more. In the manufacturing field, it is now common to apply 500 or more colors to each defect category and identify them with a legend.

    Improved/Intuitive Color Properties

    There is an issue with the color by: option within visualizations in Spotfire. Currently I have created a 10 step color scheme starting with Purple ending with Yellow (see: Color Scheme pic). When I establish this color scheme in Properties > C...

    An idea to improve CustomVisualization loading performance

    So far, at least in WebPlayer, each time, when user switch back to our visualization from another page, all the HTTP content (js, css...) of the custom visual will be reloaded through GetResourceCore() API. The browser can't cache them as a normal...

    can combo chart bars be stackable?

    I really need to have a stacked bar chart in the combo chart. I can increase the dimensionality of the visualization. I don't see a technical hurdle here.

    Ability to wrap x and y axis titles

    Currently, when x and y axis titles are long, it will overflow instead of wrapped. This seems to be a basic thing for most visualization but not Spotfire.

    Ability to export/share shapes, fonts, and marker size like colors

    Currently, we are able to export (save as) colors based on category to be used by other plots. But there is no ability to do this for everything else like shapes, fonts, marker size, etc. This will safe a lot of time for us.

    Ability to remove outline of scatter plot markers

    Currently, scatter plot markers are outlined. This is preventing us to use Spotfire for some publications that has very specific format requirements.

    Improve categorical coloring rules based on counts

    I don't think that Spotfire does this, and it does not look like it from my eyeballing. When determining the color mapping for a categorical column, Spotfire should first perform a count of all column values, then apply its "best" categorical colo...
