Chart Attributes

Functional Attributes

These attributes let you 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.

Name Type Range Description
animation Boolean 0/1 This attribute lets you set the configuration whether the chart should appear in an animated fashion. If you do not want to animate any part of the chart, set this as 0.
palette Number 1-5 Each chart has 5 pre-defined color palettes which you can choose from. Each palette renders the chart in a different color theme.
clickURL String The entire chart can now act as a hotspot. Use this URL to define the hotspot link for the chart. The link can be specified in FusionCharts Link Format.
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 (that is, 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. For example, `"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.
showPrintMenuItem Boolean 0/1 When you right click on the chart it shows a context menu. This attribute allows you to show or hide the "Print" option in the context menu.
unescapeLinks Boolean 0/1 Internally the chart decodes a Url that you set as link. Before invoking the link it again encodes the Url. If you are passing multilingual characters via a Url or do not want this decode-encode mechanism to be handled by chart you can set,`unescapeLinks='0'`.

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:

  • Formatting of commas and decimals
  • Number prefixes and suffixes
  • Decimal places to which the numbers will round to
  • 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"`.
formatNumberScale Boolean 0/1 Configuration whether to add K (thousands) and M (millions) to a number after truncating and rounding it - e.g., if `formatNumberScale` is set to 1, 1043 will become 1.04K (with decimals set to 2 places). Same with numbers in millions - an M will be added at the end.
defaultNumberScale String The default unit of the numbers that you're providing to the chart.
numberScaleUnit String Unit of each block of the scale.

String What character to use to separate the scales that are generated after recursion?
numberPrefix String Character 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 Character Using this attribute, you could add a 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.
decimalSeparator String Character This attribute helps you specify the character to be used as the decimal separator in a number.
thousandSeparator String Character This attribute helps you specify the character to be used as the thousands separator in a number.
thousandSeparatorPosition
Since 3.2.2 - SR3
Number   This option helps you specify the position of the thousand separator.
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).

Font Properties

These attributes let you define the generic font properties for all the text on the chart, allowing you a high level control over font properties.

Name Type Range Description
baseFont String Font Name This attribute lets you set the font face (family) of all the text (data labels, values etc.) on chart. If you specify the `outCnvBaseFont` attribute also, then this attribute controls only the font face of text within the chart canvas bounds.

plotFillHoverColor Color Hex Code Specifies the hover color for the data plots
plotFillHoverAlpha Number 1 - 100 Specifies the hover alpha for data plots

Chart Paddings and Margins

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

It is not necessary for you to specify any padding/margin values. PowerCharts 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 chart canvas. If the sub-caption is not defined, it controls the space between caption and top of chart canvas. If neither caption, nor sub-caption is defined, this padding does not come into play.
chartLeftMargin Number In Pixels Amount of empty space that you want to put on the left side of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.
chartRightMargin Number In Pixels Amount of empty space that you want to put on the right side of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.
chartTopMargin Number In Pixels Amount of empty space that you want to put on the top of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.
chartBottomMargin Number In Pixels Amount of empty space that you want to put at the bottom of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.

The <category> Element

Each <category> element represents a pie slice.

These attributes let you configure the functional and cosmetic properties for the pie slices.

Name Type Range Description
label String Display value for the pie.
value Number Numeric Value If you do not want a symmetrical distribution for all the pies, you can allot numeric values to individual pies. This can be done using the value attribute of each category. You will need to define the value for all the categories (pies) then. The sweep angle of the pie would depend on its value. If you just want a symmetrical multi-level pie chart, you can ignore the value.
color Color Hex Code Color for the pie
alpha Number 0-100 Alpha for the pie.
toolText String The tooltip defined in the `<category>` element appears only when the mouse cursor is hovered over the individual slices. However, this will not appear when the cursor is moved over the data labels (except for a situation when long labels are automatically truncated with ellipses. In this situation, if the mouse cursor is hovered over a truncated label, the tooltip will appear with the full label). In case you want to set a short label and show the full label in tooltip, define the full label using this attribute within the `<category>` element. The tooltip with the full label will appear only when the mouse is hovered on the particular slice.
link String Link for the pie.
