You can customize charts and visualizations to your desire. First, you have the chart library in which you can choose the desired chart.
To make changes to the chart configuration, select the chart configuration icon in the upper-right corner of the visualization.
This opens the Customize menu for the chart. Using this menu, you can drag and drop measure and attribute chips to or from an axis. Select any measure or attribute chip that has a greater than icon (>) to customize it.
You can edit some of the elements of the chart directly, by selecting them. For example, you can change the appearance of a chart axis by clicking it and making selections in the available options.
