Waterfall charts graphically illustrate the cumulative effect of sequentially introducing positive or negative values to an initial value. The initial and final (or total) values are represented by whole columns drawn from the ordinal axis baseline. Intermediate positive and negative values are drawn as floating columns.

These properties control the general layout of a waterfall chart. The following code segment shows the default settings from properties.js:

waterfallProperties: {
	appendTotalRiser: true,
	positiveRiserColor: '#77b39a',  
	negativeRiserColor: '#e2675b',  
	zeroRiserColor: '#7593bd',  
	otherRiserColor: '#aaaaaa',  
	subtotalRisers: [],  
	otherRisers: [],  
	connectorLine: {
		width: 1,
		color: 'black',
		dash: ''
	}
},
