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. |
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. |
paletteThemeColor |
Color Code | Hex Code | If you want your own palette derived from a particular hex color, you can specify the same here. All other colors on the chart will automatically derive from that palette. |
annRenderDelay |
Number | In seconds | If you've defined any annotation groups over the chart, using this attribute you can set the duration after which they'll render on the chart. The timer starts from the time the chart has initialized. |
autoScale |
Boolean | 0/1 | If you've defined the chart parameters (like gauge origin, co-ordinates etc.) using a different chart size and now want to scale the chart to a different size, you need to specify the original width and height and then set this attribute to 1. |
manageResizeSince 3.2 |
Boolean | 0/1 | Setting this attribute to 1, you can allow the chart to automatically resize itself when the parent container of the chart is resized. This setting is not applicable when `autoScale` is set to `0`. |

It refers to the width based on which you had defined the various co-ordinates/radius of the gauge. For example, if you had designed a gauge with 300 px width and in that you had set the bulb radius to be 50, then you can use the dynamic resizing feature and specify `origW='300'`. It will automatically check the current width and scale the bulb radius etc. appropriately. Please note that both the original width and height of the chart need to be set. To know more on how this attribute works, please read Angular Gauge > Dynamic Resizing page. |
origH |
Number | In pixels | If you've opted to dynamically resize the chart, you can convey the original height of chart using this attribute.

For example, if you had designed a gauge with 300 px height and in that you had set the bulb radius to be 50, then you can use the dynamic resizing feature and specify `origH='300'`. It will automatically check the current height and scale the bulb radius etc. appropriately. Please note that both the original width and height of the chart need to be set. To know more on how this attribute works, please read Angular Gauge > Dynamic Resizing page. |
