Chart Padding & Margins |
The following attributes help you control chart margins and paddings. FusionCharts XT allows you to manually customize the padding of various elements on the chart to allow advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. 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's not necessary for you to specify any padding/margin values. FusionCharts XT automatically assumes the best values for the same, if you do not specify the same. |
Attribute 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. |
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. |
labelPadding | Number | In Pixels | This attribute sets the vertical space between the labels and canvas bottom edge. If you want more space between the canvas and the x-axis labels, you can use this attribute to control it. |

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 on 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. |

<dataset> element |
Each <dataset> element contains a series of data. For example, if we're plotting a monthly sales comparison chart for 2 successive years, the first dataset will contain the data for first year and the next one for the second year. You can provide dataset level cosmetics so that all data within that dataset will be plotted in the same color/alpha/etc. Also, each dataset can be named using the seriesName attribute of <dataset> element. The series name appears in the legend of the chart. In our previous example, the series name could have well been 2005 and 2006 for first and second dataset respectively. Depending on the chart type, there are a number of properties which you can define for each <dataset> element. |
Attribute Name | Type | Range | Description |

<set> element |
Each <set> element (child of <chart> or <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 bubble chart, it could look like: <dataset seriesName='2006'> <set value='35445' /> <set value='35675' /> .... and so on .... </dataset> In bubble charts, you should again note that the number of <category> elements should be equal to the number of data points in each data sets, i.e., if you mention twelve categories (twelve months), the data for both years (2005 & 2006) should also contain twelve <set> elements (twelve rows of data). |
Attribute Name | Type | Range | Description |
x | Number | Numeric Value | X-axis value for the set. The bubble/scatter point will be placed horizontally on the x-axis based on this value. |
y | Number | Numeric Value | Y-axis value for the set. The bubble/scatter point will be placed vertically on the y-axis based on this value. |
z | Number | Numeric Value | Z-axis numerical value for the set of data. The size of bubble will depend on this value (with respect to z values of other bubbles on the chart). |

name | String | This attribute helps you set the name of this bubble, which will be displayed over the bubble. | |
color | Color | Hex Code | For multi-series and combination charts, you can define the color of datasets at dataset level. However, if you wish to highlight a particular data element, you can specify its color at "set" level using this attribute. This attribute accepts hex color codes without #. |
link | String | You can define links for individual data items. That enables the end user to click on data items (columns, lines, bars etc.) and drill down to other pages. To define the link for data items, use the link attribute. You can define links that open in same window, new window, pop-up window or frames. Please see "Drill Down Charts > FusionCharts Link format" for more information. Also, you'll need to URL Encode all the special characters (like ? and &) present in the link. | |
toolText | String | By default, FusionCharts XT shows the series Name, Category Name and 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. | |
showValue | Boolean | 0/1 | You can individually opt to show/hide values of individual data items using this attribute. This value over-rides the dataset level value. |
alpha | Number | 0-100 | For multi-series and combination charts, you can define the alpha of datasets at dataset level. However, if you wish to highlight a particular data element, you can specify its alpha at "set" level using this attribute. |
Back to top |
Trend-lines |
Using the <trendLines> element (and children <line> elements), you can define trend lines on the chart. Trend lines are horizontal/vertical 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. For each trend line on the chart, you need to define a <line> element under <trendLines> element as under: <trendLines> <line startValue='895' color='FF0000' displayValue='Average' /> </trendLines> You can control the cosmetic and functional properties of trend-lines using the following attributes: |
Attribute Name | Type | Range | Description |
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. | |
color | String | Hex Code | Color of the trend line and its associated text. |
isTrendZone | Boolean | 0/1 | Whether the trend will display a line, or a zone (filled colored rectangle). |

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. |
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. |
Back to top |
Vertical Trend-lines |
Vertical trend lines help you create vertical trend lines/zones on scatter (XY Plot) or Bubble charts. These are vertical lines spanning the chart canvas which aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. In order to add a vertical trend line to a chart, you must introduce a <line> element for each new vertical trend line within the <vtrendlines> element as under: <vTrendLines> <line startValue='895' endValue='980' color='FF0000' displayValue='Zone 1' isTrendZone='1'/> </vTrendLines> You can control the cosmetic and functional properties of vertical trend-lines using the following attributes: |
Attribute Name | Type | Range | Description |
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. | |
