Advanced Charting and Formatting Options

I have licensing stuff being displayed using Advanced Charting. I would like to have the default for this display have the Formatting Options minimized. I have searched through the docs and can find how I might set this. Can someone point me where I might find more info on how to do this? I have even searched on things like ChartTypeFormatter and haven't found the info I am looking for.

My viewstates.conf has:

[charting:h4id68dp]

AxisScaleFormatter_0_12_0.default = ""

ChartTitleFormatter_0_9_0.default = License by Sourcetype

ChartTypeFormatter_0_7_0.default = line

JSChart_0_7_1.height = 300px

LegendFormatter_0_13_0.default = right

LineMarkerFormatter_0_10_0.default = false

NullValueFormatter_0_12_0.default = gaps

SplitModeFormatter_0_11_0.default = false

StackModeFormatter_0_10_0.default = default

YAxisRangeMaximumFormatter_0_11_0.default = ""

YAxisRangeMinimumFormatter_0_10_0.default = ""

YAxisTitleFormatter_0_9_2.default = Indexed Log data (GB)

Could you achieve this by using the HiddenChartFormatter module? It's described on the Advanced Charting Options doc, linked below.

If I'm not mistaken, there is no way to minimize formatting options without having the search results live in a dashboard. I could be very wrong. Hopefully jrod or gkanapathy will drop in and give their $0.02 as their answer will be on the money.

The Chart isn't part of a dashboard so I don't think so. It is just rendered using Advanced Charting. I did that on purpose because I like people to see the actual search that generated the results and allow them to tweak the query if they want.
