Configuring Fonts

FusionCharts for FileMaker allow us to configure the fonts on the chart.
 
To configure the all fonts on the chart we will use base font settings.

For example we will use :

  • baseFont=Times New Roman
  • baseFontSize=14
  • baseFontColor=ff0000, i.e. Red
 
The FCQS will be as under :
?v=3&chart=[chartType=column2D;chartWidth=350;chartHeight=280]
&chartParams=[bgColor=FFFFFF;caption=Weekly Sales;subCaption=For July 2007;xAxisName=Week;yAxisName=Revenue;numberPrefix=$;
baseFont=Times New Roman;baseFontSize=12;baseFontColor=CC6699]
&labels=Week 1;Week 2;Week 3;Week 4
&data=40800;31400;26700;55400
 
And the chart now shows newly configured fonts:
 
We can also configure the font properties only of the fonts outside the canvas, i.e. font settings of caption, subcaption, axis names , axis values and legend. To do this we have to use out canvas font parameters.
 
Here we will modify the above FCQS to add the following :
  • outCnvBaseFont=comic sans ms
  • outCnvBaseFontSize=12
  • outCnvBaseFontColor=000ff, i.e. Blue.
 
?v=3&chart=[chartType=column2D;chartWidth=350;chartHeight=280]
&chartParams=[bgColor=FFFFFF;caption=Weekly Sales;subCaption=For July 2007;xAxisName=Week;yAxisName=Revenue;numberPrefix=$;
baseFont=Times New Roman;baseFontSize=12;baseFontColor=CC6699;
outCnvBaseFont=comic sans ms;outCnvBaseFontSize=12;outCnvBaseFontColor=0000FF]
&labels=Week 1;Week 2;Week 3;Week 4
&data=40800;31400;26700;55400
 
Now we get only the out canvas fonts changed :
