Compatible Graph Elements

Some graph elements can be layered in an overlay with one graph element superimposed on another. Other graph elements, however, are incompatible. They cannot be layered in the same cell. The following table shows which graph elements can be layered in the same cell.

Note: Pie charts and treemaps are not compatible with any other graph elements. They are not listed in the table.
