Configuring a Stacked Chart
FusionCharts Suite XT allows you to configure the functional and cosmetic properties of stacked charts.
In this section, you will be shown how you can:
-
Display the cumulative sum of stacked data
-
Create 100% stacked charts
-
Show percentage values in tool-tips
Displaying the Cumulative Sum of Stacked Data
You can opt to show the sum of all stacked data plots in a column above that column.
A stacked column 2D chart with the cumulative sum rendered above its corresponding column looks like this:
{
"chart": {
"theme": "fint",
"caption": "Revenue split by product category",
"subCaption": "For current year",
"xAxisname": "Quarter",
"yAxisName": "Revenues (In USD)",
"showSum": "1",
"numberPrefix": "$"
},
"categories": [
{
"category": [
{
"label": "Q1"
},
{
"label": "Q2"
},
{
"label": "Q3"
},
{
"label": "Q4"
}
]
}

Creating 100% Stacked Charts
You can use stacked charts to show the percentage distribution for individual items of a dataset. These stacked charts are called 100% Stacked Charts. The y-axis, instead of representing the actual data values, represents the percentage values.
A 100% stacked column 2D chart looks like this:
{
"chart": {
"caption": "Revenue split by product category",
"subCaption": "For current year",
"xAxisname": "Quarter",
"yAxisName": "% Revenue",

Showing Percent Values in Tool-tips
By default, actual data values are rendered in tool-tips. You can opt to show the percentage values in tool-tips.
