Google sheets built in charts style limitations - google-sheets

I created a candlestick chart with the "insert chart" option of google sheets.
Though, I noticed that there is no way to change the colors of the candlesticks and the border from there. Is there another way to do that?

How do I show labels on a google sheets scatter plot when I hover over a point

I'm trying to get a label to show on a google sheets scatter plot when I hover over the data point. Currently I can only see the number of the data point, rather than the text label label in the column to the left.
I've been able to attach the text labels permanently to the points using 'Add Labels' on ChartEditor>Setup>Series, but the labels are to long to display permanently on the graph.
If theres no way of doing this in sheets, maybe its possible in Excel?

How can I use one color gradient for my Google Sheet Charts?

I would like to use one color gradient (e.g. orange) across all values and the color intensify based on higher value.
Please see a traffic chart below. At the moment each traffic value has a different color. I know that I can use conditional formatting but there is a similar workaround for charts?
Thanks
currently (3 Oct, 2022), there is no such option in google sheets charts that would account for the intensification of values group-wise resetting with each next group

Google Sheets Chart Axis Title does not update when source cell is formula

I want the Google Sheets chart x-axis title to change when the data in a chart changes. I've made a simple example to demonstrate the problem. In the following animated gif (click to see greater detail) the x-axis title does not update when the data in the scatter chart changes.
Apparently this happens because the source cell for that title (A1) is itself a formula (to give the average of the x-values -- in my real-world example, it's more complicated than that).
The only way I know to fix this is to delete the chart and make a new one, as shown in the last part of the animation. But with my real-world example, this is a lot more troublesome.
Thanks for any help.
I have been running a couple of tests and have some experience on how the charts are created under Sheets in comparison to the ones in Excel.
There have been multiple forums discussing this particular issue, the main issue with it is the fact that this portion of the Chart is only a title text and does not linked to any portion to the table or that you cannot select a custom formula to be used for updates. It is also mentioned over the official documentation that you can only manual edit this titles.
As an alternative, you could implement a script so it changes the chart title for the average.
function onOpen(){
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createMenu('Charts').addItem('Update title of the first chart from active cell', 'myFunction').addToUi();
}
function myFunction() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var chart = sheet.getCharts()[0];
chart = chart.modify()
.setOption('title', sheet.getActiveCell().getValue() || 'Empty')
.build();
sheet.updateChart(chart);
}
The portion of this code has been found and discussed over this thread.
I also believe that it should be a feature directly on Sheets and it should be implemented in the future, you can send feedback from the help option or go to the Feature ideas portal:

Google Sheets Treemap Chart Tool-tip Showing Twice

Looking for assistance with a Google Sheets treemap chart. When I turn tool-tips on I get the value showing up twice. Tool-tips work fine with other chart types. How can I get the value to show only once as a tool-tip in a treemap?.
Here's an example:

Is highcharts sparkline with multiple series possible?

Is it possible to have multiple series/datapoints per sparkline chart in a sparkline set? The demo page for the sparkline page doesnt show any form of customization other than physical appearance like color.
Just copy/pasting morganfree's answer so I can mark this question as answered already. cheers~
Sparkline is a just a set of charts inside a table - you can customise
it as you customise a regular chart. If you want multiple series
inside the chart, set it in series prop - jsfiddle.net/6pvzb2zc –
