Introduction​

While Holistics's default chart types are often good enough for quick data visualization and analysis, they may not cover myriads of advanced use cases. This is where Custom Chart comes in to help you create complex but reusable chart templates that cater to your specific needs.

Custom Charts is powered by the Vega-lite specifications, with Holistics's specifications on top to allow end-users configure and interact with Vega-lite charts in the same way with Holistics's base charts.
