==Style attributes==
The appearance of the boxes in a row may be controlled by the following optional template parameters:
* ''border'' specifies the width of the box border in pixels,
* ''boxstyle'' can be used to append arbitrary CSS declarations directly to the box style attributes. For example, the following code:

<pre><nowiki>
{{chart/start}}
{{chart|border=1|boxstyle=background:green;  | | FOO |y| BAR | |FOO=Box 1|BAR=Box 2}}
{{chart | | |,|-|^|-|.| | }}
{{chart|border=3|boxstyle=background:yellow; | | FOO | | BAR | |FOO=Box 3|BAR=Box 4}}
{{chart/end}}
</nowiki></pre>

produces this chart:

{{chart/start}}
{{chart|border=1|boxstyle=background:green;  | | FOO |y| BAR | |FOO=Box 1|BAR=Box 2}}
{{chart | | |,|-|^|-|.| | }}
{{chart|border=3|boxstyle=background:yellow; | | FOO | | BAR | |FOO=Box 3|BAR=Box 4}}
{{chart/end}}

Style attributes can even be set for individual boxes within each row, as in the example below:

<pre><nowiki>
{{chart/start}}
{{chart| | | | |CLEAR| | | | |CLEAR=Clear box}}
{{chart| |,|-|-|'|!|`|-|-|.| }}
{{chart|RED  |~|GREEN|~|BLUE |RED=Red box|GREEN=Green box|BLUE=Blue box
|boxstyle_RED  =background-color: red;
|boxstyle_GREEN=background-color: green;
|boxstyle_BLUE =background-color: blue;
}}
{{chart/end}}
</nowiki></pre>

which produces this:

{{chart/start}}
{{chart| | | | |CLEAR| | | | |CLEAR=Clear box}}
{{chart| |,|-|-|'|!|`|-|-|.| }}
{{chart|RED  |~|GREEN|~|BLUE |RED=Red box|GREEN=Green box|BLUE=Blue box
|boxstyle_RED  =background-color: red;
|boxstyle_GREEN=background-color: green;
|boxstyle_BLUE =background-color: blue;
}}
{{chart/end}}

{{Warnsign|'''Note:'''}} When specifying style attributes for individual named boxes, make sure the box names are aligned to the '''left''' side of the area reserved for them in the template call (as in "<code>|RED&nbsp;&nbsp;|</code>" instead of "<code>|&nbsp;RED&nbsp;|</code>" in the example above), otherwise the template will end up looking for a style parameter with spaces in its name.

The {{tl|chart/start}} template also accepts an optional {{para|style}} parameter that can be used to set CSS styles for the entire diagram, and an optional {{para|align}} parameter to set the chart alignment.
