These configuration properties can be set in multiple places. Initial defaults for plot options are set by the framework and can be customized with {@link ChartOptions}. The most common method to use plot options is to call {@link Configuration#setPlotOptions(AbstractPlotOptions)}. Values defined here will override defaults from the theme. Options that are not defined at this level will be inherited from the theme defaults. If the chart is a combined chart, plot options for different types can be defined.
The third place where plot options can be used is at the series level. If chart has several series of data, configurations defined in the theme and at the component level can be fine tuned with {@link AbstractSeries#setPlotOptions(AbstractPlotOptions)}. The same method is also used to define the chart type for the series in combined charts.
{@link PlotOptionsSeries} is a special plot options type that can be used todefine default options shared by all chart types.
