# Histogram Chart Settings

To further refine how histograms are configured to display tag data, use the collapsible **Chart Settings** panel at the top of the display.

**Tag:** To add tags to a histogram, drag them from the Tag Browser or other displays onto the chart area or the tag field. To switch the currently selected tag, open the drop-down menu and select a different tag. All of the tags added to the histogram are available in the menu. Click the red “X” to remove a tag.

. **Limits:** Histograms can show SQC limits that have been configured for tags. To enable limits check Show/Hide Limits.

Select the **Grade** and **Limit Type** from the drop-down menus.

The histogram draws the tag limits as vertical lines. The limit values and a key to the limit line colors are shown in the Legend.

**Plot:** Click the **Plot** button to retrieve tag data based on the histogram’s current settings. If changes to the histogram’s settings require the data to be re-plotted, the button will glow green.

**Point Type:** Select how the **Y-Value** for each **X-Value** in the histogram is displayed.

**Chart Type:** Choose between a column-based chart and a line-based chart.

**Y Axis Setup:** Configure the histogram’s Y-axis to show the distribution of values by the number of data points within each interval ( **Count**) or by the percentage of data points within each interval ( **Percent**).

**Intervals:** Histograms show the distribution of tag values over a certain number of intervals between the minimum and maximum values. To change the number of intervals, use the up and down arrows or enter a value manually.
