Line chart — Inspector reference
All controls available in the DaVinci Resolve Inspector for the Line chart generator, grouped by Inspector section. Controls shared across multiple chart families are included here with their defaults for this family.
Data
Open a file picker to import a CSV. The file is embedded in the Resolve project — you can delete the original afterwards.
Open the in-plugin data editor to paste, view, or modify the embedded CSV.
Chart
10 Range: 1 – 50Display only the top N rows/entities by value. Useful for dense datasets: a race with 200 countries is unreadable at N=200; N=10–15 is typical.
0 (Auto) Range: 0 – 600 s (display: 0–60 s)Total seconds for the data reveal (bars / line / value labels) to play, end to end. Chrome (axes, grid, title, axis labels) plays at its own preset pace regardless of this value. 0.0 = Auto: the data reveal fills the rest of the clip. >0.0 = the data reveal spans exactly this many seconds; the chart holds its final frame for the rest of the clip.
0 Range: 0 – 60 s (display: 0–10 s)Seconds to hold the initial frame before animation starts. Useful when you composite the chart over a background that needs to settle first.
Auto (preset) Override easing for every animation block. Auto keeps the per-group easings from the preset.
Auto Render quality stack (supersampling, motion-blur samples, AA). Auto uses Draft while scrubbing and Ultra on Deliver or when the playhead is parked.
Axes
On Draw the numeric value next to each bar, line point, or race entity.
Off Draw horizontal grid lines at each Y tick.
On Draw axis labels along the X axis.
On Draw tick labels along the Y (value) axis.
5 Range: 2 – 10Approximate number of Y axis tick marks. The engine picks clean round numbers near this count.
2.0 Range: 0 – 20 (display: 0–8)Width of the axis lines in pixels at 1080p.
1.0 Range: 0 – 20 (display: 0–4)Width of grid lines in pixels at 1080p.
0.0 Range: 0 – 40Length of axis tick marks. 0 = no ticks.
Auto Auto fits the Y axis to data. Manual lets you set Y Min / Y Max explicitly.
0.0 Minimum Y axis value when Y Range is set to Manual.
100.0 Maximum Y axis value when Y Range is set to Manual.
Layout
80 Range: 0 – 300Top padding in pixels at 1080p.
80 Range: 0 – 300Right padding in pixels at 1080p.
100 Range: 0 – 300Bottom padding in pixels at 1080p.
100 Range: 0 – 300Left padding in pixels at 1080p.
1.0 Range: 0.5 – 2.0Global multiplier for all text sizes. 1.0 = default sizes from the preset.
Effects
On Enable the GPU bloom post-process pass.
1.0 Range: 0 – 4Strength of the glow effect.
16.0 Range: 1 – 64Spatial radius of the glow kernel in pixels at 1080p.
On Enable sub-frame motion blur. Sample count is controlled by the Quality setting.
180.0 Range: 45 – 720°180° = standard film. 720° = maximum (stylised over-blur). Values above 360° exceed physical exposure but produce a distinctive long-trail look.
Line Options
3.0 Range: 0.5 – 40 (display: 0.5–16)Width of the line stroke in pixels at 1080p.
White (#ffffff) Color of the line stroke for single-series charts. Multi-series lines use the series palette.
0.0 Range: 0 – 40 (display: 0–16)Radius of data-point markers. 0 = no markers drawn.
White Color of data-point markers.
Auto Auto detects numeric / ISO-date X labels and spaces points proportionally. Categorical forces evenly-spaced layout. Time forces proportional spacing.
Line Line: stroke only. Area: fill below the line to zero. Stacked Area: multi-series where each entity sits on the running total. Stacked is ignored on race charts.
0.30 Range: 0.0 – 1.0Alpha applied to the fill in Area / Stacked Area modes. The stroke stays at full opacity.
Off Draw a series legend. Off by default for line charts since endpoint labels typically serve this role.
Data Mapping
Auto Column for the X axis. Required (with Y Axis) to bypass auto wide→long detection.
Auto Column for the Y axis values. Must be numeric.
Auto Optional. Treats the CSV as long-format multi-line data; column holds entity names.
Number Format
Text prepended to every numeric label. Example: "$" for dollar amounts.
Text appended to every numeric label. Example: "°C" for temperatures.
Auto Decimal places for value and axis labels. Auto picks the minimum needed to distinguish adjacent tick values.
Auto (K/M/B/T) Auto abbreviates large numbers (1200 → 1.2K). Raw disables abbreviation.
1,234.56 (US) Thousands separator and decimal separator convention.
Font
Choose from system-installed and bundled fonts. The list is populated at runtime.
0 (Auto) Range: 0 – 400 (display: 0–160)Override the size of value labels, entity names, and bar labels. 0 = preset size scaled by Font Scale.
Template Default Font weight for value / entity labels.
0 (Auto) Range: 0 – 400 (display: 0–160)Override size of axis tick labels. 0 = preset size.
Template Default Font weight for axis tick labels.
Colors
White Color of value labels drawn next to bars, points, or entities.
#999999 Color of axis tick labels.
#808080 Color of the axis lines.
#141414 Color of grid lines.
