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 in a horizontal bullet chart.

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.
`clickURL`	URL in FusionCharts format		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.
`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.

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
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"`.
`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 converted to 23.40 (note the extra 0 at the end).

In XML/JSON, if you specify such values, it will give an error while converting to number. 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. 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 thousand separators.

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

Chart Padding & 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
`captionPadding`	Number	In pixels	This attribute lets you control the horizontal space (in pixels) between the caption and left side of chart canvas.
`valuePadding`	Number	In pixels	Distance between the value box and chart canvas.
`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.
