    Categoric custom color scheme import needs improvement - I need to choose the colors. And More.

    I have needed this feature for the last 10 years. When I import a set of colors that I have saved to library, there is no way to choose how the colors are mapped onto categoric values. Spotfire just takes them in order and it's always the same. Th...

    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.

    Improve categorical coloring rules based on counts

    Summary information in Chart Visualizations

    In Spotfire charts, lines and curves can be displayed with their respective annotations. However, it would be beneficial to include an option for plotting a summary box that provides key statistical information, similar to the options available in...

    Combo Chart Enhancement

    Option to set axis font color instead of defaulting to "series by" color. I can't use yellow or light colors for bars or lines because the axis will be unreadable. Option to have multiple scales when using stacked bars with lines. Majorly limits v...
