Chart Attributes

Functional Attributes

You can control a variety of functional elements on the chart. For example, you can opt to show/hide data labels, data values, y-axis values. You can also set chart limits and extended properties.

These attributes let you control the functional properties of a doughnut 3D chart.

Name Type Range Description
animation Boolean 0/1 This attribute gives you the option to control animation in your charts. If you do not want to animate any part of the chart, set this as 0.
palette Number 1-5 FusionCharts XT uses the concept of Color Palettes. Each chart has 5 pre-defined color palettes which you can choose from. Each palette renders the chart in a different color theme.
paletteColors String List of hex color codes separated by comma While the `palette` attribute allows to select a palette theme that applies to chart background, canvas, font and tool-tips, it does not change the colors of data items (i.e., column, line, pie etc.). Using `paletteColors` attribute, you can specify your custom list of hex colors for the data items. The list of colors have to be separated by comma e.g., `"paletteColors": "#FF0000, #0372AB, #FF5904..."`. The chart will cycle through the list of specified colors and then render the data plot accordingly. To use the same set of colors throughout all your charts in a web application, you can store the list of palette colors in your application globally and then provide the same in each chart JSON.
showZeroPies Boolean 0/1 Configuration whether to show pies with 0 values (and their values). Otherwise, they won't show up in the chart.
showPercentValues Boolean 0/1 Whether to show percentage values in labels of the chart.

Pie / Doughnut Properties

These attributes let you configure the functional properties of pie/doughnut chart.

Name Type Range Description
slicingDistance Number In Pixels If you've opted to slice a particular pie/doughnut slice, using this attribute you can control the distance between the slice and the center of chart.
pieRadius Number In Pixels This attribute lets you explicitly set the outer radius of the chart. FusionCharts XT automatically calculates the best fit pie radius for the chart. This attribute is useful if you want to enforce one of your own values.
doughnutRadius Number In Pixels This attribute lets you explicitly set the inner radius of the chart. FusionCharts XT automatically calculates the best fit radius for the chart. This attribute is useful if you want to enforce one of your own values.
startingAngle Number 0-360 By default, the doughnut chart starts from angle 0 degree i.e., the first doughnut slice starts plotting from 0 degree angle. If you want to change the starting angle of the chart, use this attribute. It obeys the conventions of co-ordinate geometry where 0 degrees means hand of a clock at 3. Starting angle Increases anti-clockwise.
enableRotation Boolean 0/1 The doughnut charts have three modes: Slicing, Rotation, and Link. By default, a chart starts in Slicing mode. If you need to enable rotation from XML, set this attribute to 1. But, when links are defined, the chart always works in Link mode irrespective of the value of this attribute.
pieInnerFaceAlpha Number 0-100 Alpha of the pie inner face
pieOuterFaceAlpha Number 0-100 Alpha of the pie outer face
pieYScale Number 30-80 This attribute alters the y-perspective of the pie in percentage figures. 100 percent means the full pie face is visible and 0 percent means only the side face is visible.

Smart Labels & Lines

In FusionCharts XT, the pie and doughnut charts can now have smart labels and lines.

Smart labels/lines are data connector lines which connect the pie/doughnut slices to their respective labels without over-lapping even in cases where there are lots of labels located near each other.

These attributes let you configure smart labels and lines for pie/doughnut chart.

Name Type Range Description

smartLabelClearance Number In Pixels Clearance distance of a label (for sliced-in pies) from an adjacent sliced out pies.
manageLabelOverflow Boolean 0/1 This attribute tries to manage overflow of data labels. If enabled, data labels are either wrapped or truncated with ellipses to prevent them from overflowing out of the chart canvas. In case `smartLabels` is disabled, the labels are wrapped to avoid the overflow. Since `smartLabels` is disabled, the wrapped labels might get overlapped. When `smartLabels` is enabled, management of the overflowing labels fit in the "quadrant specific smart labeling algorithm". Data labels try to wrap first. In case, there is a space constraint in the quadrant, the labels get truncated with ellipses.
useEllipsesWhenOverflow
Since 3.2.1
Boolean 0/1 When enabled, long data labels are truncated by adding ellipses to prevent them from overflowing the chart background. The default value is 1. This setting works only when `manageLabelOverflow` is set to 1.

Number Formatting Properties

FusionCharts XT offers you a lot of options to format your numbers on the chart.

Using the attributes below, you can control a myriad of options like:

  • Formatting of commas and decimals

inDecimalSeparator String Character In some countries, commas are used as decimal separators and dots as thousand separators. In XML, if you specify such values, it will give an error while converting to number. So, FusionCharts XT accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can convert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the decimal separator.
inThousandSeparator String Character In some countries, commas are used as decimal separators and dots as thousand separators. In XML, if you specify such values, it will give an error while converting to number. So, FusionCharts XT accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can convert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the thousand separator.
decimals Number 0-10 Number of decimal places to which all numbers on the chart will be rounded to.
forceDecimals Boolean 0/1 Whether to add 0 padding at the end of decimal numbers. For example, if you set decimals as 2 and a number is 23.4. If forceDecimals is set to 1, FusionCharts XT will convert the number to 23.40 (note the extra 0 at the end).

Chart Paddings & Margins

FusionCharts XT allows you to manually customize the padding of various elements on the chart to allow advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. Padding in FusionCharts XT is always defined in pixels, unless the attribute itself suggests some other scale (like plotSpacePercent).

You can also define the chart margins. Chart margins refer to the empty space left on the top, bottom, left, and right of the chart. That means, FusionCharts XT will not plot anything in that space.

It is not necessary for you to specify any padding/margin values. FusionCharts XT automatically assumes the best values for the same.

These attributes let you configure the functional and cosmetic properties of chart paddings and margins.

Name Type Range Description
captionPadding Number In Pixels This attribute lets you control the space (in pixels) between the sub-caption and top of the doughnut. If the sub-caption is not defined, it controls the space between caption and top of the doughnut. If neither caption, nor sub-caption is defined, this padding does not come into play.

<set> element

Each <set> element (child of <dataset> element) represents a set of data which is to be plotted on the graph and determines a set of data which will appear on the chart.

For a doughnut chart, a typical <set> element will look like:

<dataset seriesName='2006'>
    <set value='35445' />
    <set value='35675' />
    .... and so on ....
</dataset>

These attributes let you configure the <set> element.
