Number Formatting Properties

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

These attributes let you control a myriad of options like:

  • Scaling of numbers based on a user defined scale
  • Custom number input formats

These attributes let you appropriately format the numbers displayed on the chart.

Name Type Range Description
formatNumber Boolean 0/1 This configuration determines whether the numbers displayed on the chart will be formatted using commas, e.g., 40,000 if `"formatNumber":"1"` and 40000 if `"formatNumber":"0"`.
numberPrefix String Using this attribute, you could add prefix to all the numbers visible on the graph. For example, to represent all dollars figure on the chart, you could specify this attribute to ' $' to show like $40000, $50000.
numberSuffix String Using this attribute, you could add suffix to all the numbers visible on the graph. For example, to represent all figures quantified as per annum on the chart, you could specify this attribute to ' /a' to show like 40000/a, 50000/a.
decimals Number 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, the number will automatically be calculated to 23.40 (note the extra 0 at the end).

The chart accepts the input decimal and thousand separators from user, so that it can convert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the decimal separators.
inThousandSeparator String In some countries, commas are used as decimal separators and dots as thousand separators. In XML/JSON, if you specify such values, it will give an error while converting to number.

Chart Paddings and Margins

FusionWidgets 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 FusionWidgets 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, FusionWidgets XT will not plot anything in that space.

It is not necessary for you to specify any padding/margin values. FusionWidgets 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
