Guide configuration element is responsible for tuning look and feel of your chart.

Example with guide

{
	"type": "scatterplot",
	"x": "cycleTime",
	"y": "effort",
	"color": "team",
	"size": "count",
	"guide": {
		"x": {"label": {"text": "Cycle Time in days", "padding": 35}, "padding": 20},
		"y": {"label": "Effort in points", "padding": 20},
		"padding": {"b": 70, "l": 70, "t": 10, "r": 10},
		"showGridLines": "xy",
		"color": {
			"brewer": ["color-red", "color-green", "color-blue"]
		}
	}
}

Configuration

Element	Notes
x	Styling options for X axis.
	Element	Notes
	padding	Describes padding between a chart body and X axis.
	label	Describes label for X axis.
		Element	Notes
		text	Title for X axis
		padding	Padding between title and a rest of X axis.
	tickFormat	Ticks are small indicators on an axis that shows axis values. tickFormat allows to format tick labels. It uses d3-based formatter. Check available d3 format specifiers. Other possible values: "day" (12-Oct-2014) "week" (02-Nov-2014) - end date of week "week-range" (02-Nov-2014 - 09-Nov-2014) - dates range for the week "month" (January 2014, Febrary...) - display month name. January is displayed with a year on the right. "month-year" (January 2014, Febrary 2014...) "quarter" (Q2 2014) "year" (2014)
	tickPeriod	When operate with period scale, it allows to specify the period size. Possible values: day week (split timeline by sundays) month quarter year
	nice	Possible values: true, false. Defaults to true. By default engine tries to make axis scale "nice". It tries to start measure-based scale from 0 and adds some margins to complete scale with "nice" numbers. For example, if original scale domain contains values [8, 20, ... 40], then axis will have ticks from 0 to 45.
	min	The scale domain can be extended using min and max properties. The min and max can't reduce original scale domain and will be ignored in such a cases. "Nicing" will be applied to extended domain by default. Set nice property to false to avoid such a behavior.
	max
y	Styling options for Y axis. Same elements as for X applies.
color	Styling options for color dimension.
	Element	Notes
	bewer	There are to ways to define how color dimension will be colored. As array of values. For a measure dimension colors defined in an array define a continues colors in gradient. For other dimension ypes it will be mapped to next values in those dimensions. Example brewer array like usage "bewer": ["#0000FF", "rgb(0,255,0)", "#0000FF"] As object map. This only applies to non-measure types of dimensions. In this way you define direct "value": "color" mapping. "bewer": { "valueA": "#0000FF", "valueB": "rgb(0,255,0)", "valueC": "ab0" }
size
padding
showGridLines	Instructs whether shows coordinates lines. Possible values: x, y, xy.
showAnchors	Defines when to show anchors. Possible values: hover (default) - anchor will appear when user points a cursor over it. always - anchors will always be visible. never - anchors will not be displayed This may not apply to all chart types.
interpolate	Possible values: linear - default polyline. smooth - smooth curve, suits for interpolating math data. smooth-keep-extremum - curve which doesn't exceed point values, suites for business data. step, step-before, step-after - connects points using steps. This may not apply to all chart types.
