Summary

This PR addresses #7279 and removes some duplicated information with the following changes:

  • explore-analyze/visualize/charts/metric-charts.md: Documents the Density presets, the default for new metric charts, legacy chart behavior, and the complete set of controls in the Other group.
  • explore-analyze/visualize/lens.md: Removes the duplicated settings inventory, routes readers to dedicated chart pages from the existing visualization creation workflow, and preserves the previous section anchors as invisible anchors.
  • explore-analyze/_snippets/xy-chart-legend-settings.md: Replaces the Line-specific legend snippet with shared, code-verified XY legend settings and preserves the complete statistics reference formerly on the Lens page.
  • explore-analyze/_snippets/line-area-missing-values-settings.md: Restores the five missing-value comparison images through shared content used by both the Area and Line chart pages.
  • Area, Bar, and Line chart pages: Reuse shared settings content, and keep the Area page's appearance link within its canonical settings section.
