# Global Chart Settings

This page describes how to set your global chart settings in the request data.

You can provide the default chart settings using `global_chart_settings`. These settings will serve as the default settings for a given chart type in the [PPTX Builder](https://pptxbuilder.com) platform. 

> This is an optional parameter.

#### Example in `JSON`
