A method, a system, and a computer readable storage medium for automatically adjusting a chart on a display device. The adjustment is implemented in a chart control, which is installed as a library used in chart applications. An application developer determines the extent to which the chart control is implemented for each chart. Application developers implement chart control libraries so that a user of an application having a chart that references the chart control library can experience at least the following features, irrelevant of chart size, screen size, and screen type: responsive tooltip, zoom in, zoom out, responsive zoom slider, action on selection and selection bar, thumbnail mode, responsive toolbar, responsive legend, responsive format, responsive display or an axis, and responsive display of horizontal bars. Additional features available through the chart control library are related to both user gesture changes and also chart layout changes, which both vary based on the chart size, the screen type of a user device, and screen size of the user device.
