3.2. Quick options - charts

The Analytics+ visual provides almost all functionalities even when the size of the visual is reduced i.e. it does not fill the entire canvas. The toolbar is disabled when the size of the visual is decreased beyond a threshold but you can still perform all the basic customizations via the context menus and by using the on-object interaction menus - without having to switch to focus mode.
