Chart datasource rules
Charts need:

- One or more number properties for values.
If a property does not appear in the value list, check that it is a Notion number property.
Common chart options
- Config labels rename chart keys and control series/slice colors.
- Axis controls tick lines, axis lines, and label rendering.
- Domain controls the minimum and maximum chart scale.
- Margin adds space around the chart plot.
- Legend helps viewers understand multi-series charts.
- Radius changes bar rounding, donut hole size, or radical ring size depending on chart type.
