Configuring Funnel Chart
FusionCharts Suite XT allows you to configure several cosmetic and functional properties for the funnel chart.
In this section, you will be shown how you can:
Drawing a 2D Funnel Chart with Customized Borders
By default, a funnel chart renders as a 3D chart with a context menu that allows you to switch between the 2D and the 3D modes of display. However, you can configure a funnel chart to be rendered in the 2D mode when it first loads, without using the context menu. You can also customize the border properties of a funnel chart for an improved visual representation.
A funnel chart rendered in 2D with customized borders looks like this:
{

"caption": "Website visits",
"subcaption": "Purchase - Conversion analysis for last year",
"decimals": "1",

Showing Labels in the Legend for the Funnel Chart
You can opt to show the labels in the legend box instead of showing them with the data plots. To do this, you will have to show the legend box and hide the labels for the data plots.
A funnel chart with the labels rendered in the legend box looks like this:
{

Drawing Filled Funnel Slices (in 3D Mode)
By default, in a 3D funnel chart, the slices are rendered as hollow. You can opt to render them as filled.

Drawing All Slices with Same Slant Angle (When Plotting Streamlined Data)
By default, when plotting streamlined data, the chart uses variable funnel slice width - the slant angle - to visually depict the filtering process. However, you have an option to use the same slant angle for all funnel slices.
A funnel chart rendered with the same slant angle for all funnel slices looks like this:
{
"chart": {
"caption": "Website visits",

Showing Values as Percentage of the Previous Value
When showing values in percentage for each slice, you can ask the chart to calculate the percentage value of this slice w.r.t the previous slice (instead of the first slice).
A funnel chart configured to show percentage values w.r.t the previous slice looks like this:
{
"chart": {
"caption": "Website visits",

Slicing Out Individual Funnel Slices
At times, you may want important data to be highlighted so that it is easily noticed. In a funnel chart, you can slice out the funnel slice that represents any such important data.
