Chart types
Cube has built-in support for bar, line, area, pie, scatter, heatmap, KPI, map, boxplot, and more. See the chart types overview for a full list and guidance on which type fits which data shape.Selecting a chart type
Chart type icons at the top of the chart panel let you quickly switch between common layouts — grouped vs. stacked bars, line vs. area, table vs. chart view — without opening the full configuration panel. Cube automatically picks a chart type when you run a new query. Any manual configuration you apply is preserved when you change query fields.Resetting chart settings
To discard your configuration and let Cube re-select a chart type based on the current query, open the tab options menu and choose Reset chart.Generate charts with AI
Describe the visualization you want in plain language — for example, “show this as a stacked bar grouped by status” — and the AI agent will build and configure it. You can also let the agent auto-suggest the best chart for your query results. Charts generated by the AI are written as Vega-Lite v5 specs and can be further edited in the custom visualization spec editor.Configure charts
Adjust the appearance of any chart through the configuration panel:- Color and stacking — Color palettes, series coloring, and stacking behavior
- Series configuration — Per-series mark type, color, and display options
- Series mapping — Assign query fields to chart channels (X, Y, color, size)
- Axes — Axis titles, grid lines, scale, and reference lines
- Tooltips — Fields shown on hover
- Data labels — Values displayed directly on chart marks
