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
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.
connectNullData Boolean 0/1 This attribute lets you control whether empty data sets in your data will be connected to each other OR do they appear as broken data sets.
showLabels Boolean 0/1 It sets the configuration whether the x-axis labels will be displayed or not.
maxLabelHeight
Since 3.5.0
Number In Pixels This attribute can be used to set the maximum height for the x-axis labels (data labels) excluding the x-axis title. If any label goes beyond this height, the label will be truncated. In stagger mode, the number of stagger lines will be reduced if they exceed this value.
labelDisplay String 'AUTO', 'WRAP':, 'STAGGER', 'ROTATE', 'NONE' Using this attribute, you can customize the alignment of data labels (x-axis labels). There are 5 options: AUTO, WRAP, STAGGER, ROTATE or NONE. By default, this attribute is set to AUTO mode which means that the alignment of the data labels is determined automatically depending on the size of the chart. WRAP wraps the label text if it is too long to fit in one line. ROTATE rotates the labels vertically. STAGGER divides the labels into multiple lines.
useEllipsesWhenOverflow
Since 3.2.1
Boolean 0/1 When enabled in auto mode, long data labels are truncated by adding ellipses to prevent them from overflowing the chart background. The default value is 1.
rotateLabels Boolean 0/1 This attribute lets you set whether the data labels will show up as rotated labels on the chart.
showValues Boolean 0/1 Sets the configuration whether data values will be displayed along with the data plot on chart.
valuePosition
Since 3.2
String "ABOVE", "BELOW", "AUTO" If you've opted to show data values on the chart, this attribute lets you adjust the vertical alignment of data values with respect to dataplots. By default, this attribute is set to AUTO mode in which the alignment of each data value is determined automatically based on the position of each plot point. In ABOVE mode, data values are displayed above the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the upper edge of the canvas while in BELOW mode, data values are displayed below the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the lower edge of the canvas.
rotateValues Boolean 0/1 If you've opted to show data values, you can rotate them using this attribute.
yAxisMaxValue Number Numeric Value This attribute helps you explicitly set the upper limit of the chart. If you don't specify this value, it is automatically calculated by FusionCharts XT based on the data provided by you.
yAxisMinValue Number Numeric Value This attribute helps you explicitly set the lower limit of the chart. If you don't specify this value, it is automatically calculated by FusionCharts XT based on the data provided by you.
yAxisNameWidth Number (In Pixels) If you opt to not rotate y-axis name, you can choose a maximum width that will be applied to y-axis name.
showShadow Boolean 0/1 Whether to apply the shadow effects for data plot.
rotateYAxisName Boolean 0/1 If you do not wish to rotate y-axis name, set this as 0. It specifically comes to use when you've the special characters (UTF-8) in your y-axis name that do not show up in rotated mode.
setAdaptiveYMin Boolean 0/1 This attribute lets you set whether the y-axis lower limit will be 0 (in case of all positive values on chart) or should the y-axis lower limit adapt itself to a different figure based on values provided to the chart.
compactDataMode Boolean 0/1 Indicates whether the XML is in compact form or not.
dataSeparator Character Any character Specifies the separation character used in compact XML.
numMinorLogDivLines Number Any number Specifies the number of minor divisional lines to display between two major log divisions. If not specified the chart will automatically display certain number of minor divisional lines.

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

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.
xAxisNamePadding Number In Pixels Using this, you can set the distance between the top end of x-axis title and the bottom end of data labels (or canvas, if data labels are not to be shown).
yAxisNamePadding Number In Pixels Using this, you can set the distance between the right end of y-axis title and the start of y-axis values (or canvas, if the y-axis values are not to be shown).
yAxisValuesPadding Number In Pixels This attribute helps you set the horizontal space between the canvas left edge and the y-axis values or trend line values (on left/right side). This is particularly useful, when you want more space between your canvas and y-axis values.
valuePadding Number In Pixels It sets the vertical space between the end of columns and start of value textboxes. This basically helps you control the space you want between your columns/anchors and the value textboxes.
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.
legendPadding Number In Pixels Padding of legend from right/bottom side of canvas
canvasLeftMargin Number In Pixels This attribute lets you control the space between the start of chart canvas and the start (x) of chart. In case of 2D charts, the canvas is the visible rectangular box. In case of 3D charts, the canvas box is the imaginary box around the 3D canvas. Using this attribute, you can control the amount of empty space between the chart left side and canvas left side. By default, FusionCharts XT automatically calculates this space depending on the elements to be placed on the chart. However, if you want to over-ride this value with a higher value, you can use this attribute to specify the same. Please note that you cannot specify a margin lower than what has been calculated by the chart. This attribute is particularly useful, when you've multiple charts placed in a page and want all their canvas start position to align with each other - so in such a case, you can set same margin value (a value large enough that it doesn't get rejected by chart owing to it being lower than the calculated value) for all such charts in the page.
canvasRightMargin Number In Pixels Like `canvasLeftMargin`, this attribute lets you set the space between end of canvas and end of chart.
canvasTopMargin Number In Pixels Like `canvasLeftMargin`, this attribute lets you set the space between top of canvas and top of chart.
canvasBottomMargin Number In Pixels Like `canvasLeftMargin`, this attribute lets you set the space between bottom of canvas and bottom of chart.

The <categories> Element

These attributes of the <categories> element let you control the font properties of data labels. It can also be used to define the cosmetics of vertical chart lines.

Name Type Range Description
font String Valid font face Lets you specify font face for the x-axis data labels.
fontSize Number Lets you specify font size for the x-axis data labels.
fontColor Color Hex Code Lets you specify font color for the x-axis data labels.

The <dataset> Element

Each <dataset> element contains a series of data.You can provide data-set level cosmetics so that all data within that data-set will be plotted in the same color/alpha/etc.

These attributes let you customize the cosmetic properties for a data-set.

Name Type Range Description
seriesName String Lets you specify the series name for a particular dataset. For example, if you're plotting a chart to indicate monthly sales analysis for 2005 and 2006, the `seriesName` for the first dataset will be 2005 and that of the second will be 2006. The `seriesName` of a dataset is shown in legend.
color Color Hex Code This attribute sets the color using which line of that dataset will be drawn
alpha String 0-100 or Comma Separated List This attribute sets the alpha (transparency) of the entire dataset.
showValues Boolean 0/1 Whether to show the values for this dataset.
valuePosition
Since 3.2
String "ABOVE", "BELOW", "AUTO" This attribute lets you adjust the vertical alignment of data values for all dataplots in the dataset. The alignment is set with respect to the position of the dataplots on the chart. By default, the attribute is set to AUTO mode in which the alignment of each data value is determined automatically based on the position of each plot point. In ABOVE mode, data values are displayed above the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the upper edge of the canvas. While in BELOW mode, data values are displayed below the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the lower edge of the canvas. The attribute will function only if showValue attribute is set to 1 in this particular dataset.
drawAnchors Boolean 0/1 Whether to draw anchors for the particular dataset.
anchorRadius Number In Pixels This attribute sets the radius (in pixels) of the anchors of the particular dataset.
lineThickness Number In Pixels Thickness of the lines for the particular dataset.
anchorBorderColor Color Hex Code Lets you set the border color of anchors of the particular dataset.
anchorBorderThickness Number In Pixels Helps you set border thickness of anchors of the particular dataset.
anchorBgColor Color Hex Code Helps you set the background color of anchors of the particular dataset.
anchorBgAlpha Number 0-100 Helps you set the alpha of anchor background of the particular dataset.
includeInLegend Boolean 0/1 Whether to include the seriesName of this dataset in legend.
dashed Boolean 0/1 Whether the line should appear as dashed.

The <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 multi-series 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 individual data values in a data-set.

Name Type Range Description
value Number Numerical value for the data item. This value will be plotted on the chart.
displayValue String   If instead of the numerical value of this data, you wish to display a custom string value, you can specify the same here. Examples are annotation for a data item etc.
toolText String By default, FusionCharts XT shows the value as tool tip text for that data item. But, if you want to display more information for the data item as tool tip, you can use this attribute to specify the same.

Vertical Trend-lines and Trend-zones

vLines are vertical separator lines that help you separate blocks of data. These lines run through the height of the chart, thereby segregating data into different blocks.

Use the code snippet shown below to render a vertical trend-line on the chart:

    "data": [{
        ...
    },
    {
        "linePosition": "0.8",
        "vLine": "true"
    },
    ...

These attributes let you configure the functional and cosmetic properties for vertical trend-lines and trend-zones.

Name Type Range Description
startIndex Number Numeric Value The starting index for the vertical trendline. Index represents the relative position of a data-point from the first data-point. The index of the first data-point is 1. A vertical trendzone is created when both `startIndex` and `endIndex `attributes are specified. In case, only `startIndex` is specified, a vertical trendline is drawn.
endIndex Number Numeric Value The end index for the vertical trendline. Index represents the relative position of a data-point from the first data-point. The index of the first data-point is 1. A vertical trendzone is created when both `startIndex` and `endIndex `attributes are specified. In case, only `startIndex` is specified, a vertical trendline is drawn.
displayValue String If you want to display a string caption for the vertical trendline/zone, you can use this attribute. Example:` displayValue='Last Month High'`. By default, the value is shown as the top of the vertical trendline/zone.
displayAlways Boolean 0/1 It allows you to show or hide the vertical trendline/zone in macroscopic view. By default, it is set to 1 which makes the vertical trendline/zone visible in both microscopic and macroscopic views. If you set it to '0,' it will hide the vertical trendline in macroscopic view.
displayWhenCount Number Numeric Value The `displayWhenCount` attribute sets the condition for visibility of the vertical trendline. For example, if the value of this attribute is set to `10`, the vertical trendline will be visible only if 10, or less than 10 dataplots are displayed on a single screen. The value of the `displayWhenCount` can be any number, which is greater than 1 and less than the total number of dataplots that are plotted on the chart.
color String Hex Code Color of the vertical trendline and its associated text
showOnTop Boolean 0/1 Whether the vertical trendline will appear on top of the dataplots. By default, it is set to 0.
thickness Number In Pixels If you've opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define the thickness of the line.
alpha Number 0-100 Alpha of the vertical trendline/zone.
valueOnTop String   Allows you to display the value of the trendline/zone at the top of the trendline/zone. By default, it is set to '1'. Thus, the value appears on the top of the trendline. If you set it to '0' the value will appear at the bottom of the trendline/zone.

Trend-lines

Using the <trendlines> element (and the children <line> elements), you can define trend lines on the chart.

Trend lines are horizontal lines spanning the chart canvas which aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting sales data of current year, you might want to add previous year's average monthly sales as trend indicator for ease of comparison.

Use the code snippet shown below to render a horizontal trend-line on the chart:

    ...
    "chart": {
                ...
        };

    "trendlines": [{
          "line": [{
              "startvalue": "177500",
              "color": "#00cc00",
              "displayvalue": "Target"
         }]
    }]

    ...

These attributes let you customize the functional and cosmetic properties for trend-lines.

Name Type Range Description
valueOnRight Boolean 0/1 Whether to show the trend line value on left side or right side of chart. This is particularly useful when the trend line display values on the chart are colliding with divisional lines values on the chart.
color String Hex Code Color of the trend line and its associated text
isTrendZone Boolean 0/1 Whether the trend will be displayed as a line or a zone (fill-colored rectangle).
showOnTop Boolean 0/1 Whether the trend line/zone will be displayed over data plots or under them.
thickness Number In Pixels If you've opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define the thickness of trend line.
alpha Number 0-100 Alpha of the trend line.
dashed Boolean 0/1 If you've opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define whether the trend line will appear as dashed.
dashLen Number In Pixels If you've opted to show trend line as dash, this attribute lets you control the length of each dash.
dashGap Number In Pixels If you've opted to show trend line as dash, this attribute lets you control the length of each dash gap.
startValue Number Numeric Value The starting value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the `startValue` will be 102.
endValue Number Numeric Value The ending y-axis value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the `endValue` will be 109. If you do not specify a value for `endValue`, it will automatically assume the same value as `startValue`.
displayValue String If you want to display a string caption for the trend line by its side, you can use this attribute. Example:` displayValue='Last Month High'`. When you don't supply this attribute, it automatically takes the value of `startValue`.
toolText String   Custom tool-text for this trendline/zone.
