Configuring Logarithmic Charts
FusionCharts Suite XT allows you to configure the functional aspects of logarithmic charts.
In this section, you will be shown how you can:
Custom Selection of Base
By default, the base of a logarithmic chart is set to 10. You can, however, set the base to any value of your requirement. Just ensure that the base value is any positive number greater than 1.
A log column chart with the base set to 5 looks like this:

| Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
It is used to specify the base value for the logarithmic chart. This attribute can take any value that is a positive number greater than 1. The default value for this attribute is 10. |
Inverse Axis Support
Logarithmic charts allow you to plot the y-axis values inversely so that the y-axis upper limit appears at the bottom of the chart canvas instead of at the top.
A log column 2D chart rendered with an inverted y-axis looks like this:

Custom Selection of Y-axis Lower and Upper Limits
By default, the chart automatically decides the y-axis limits based on the data you provide. However, you can explicitly set the y-axis limits according to your requirements.
Given below is a brief description of the attributes used to custom select the y-axis limits:
| Attribute Name | Description |

It is used to explicitly specify the lower limit for the y-axis. |

It is used to explicitly specify the upper limit for the y-axis. |
Custom Selection of the Number of Minor Divisional Lines
By default, the chart automatically calculates the number of minor divisional lines depending on the logarithmic base defined in the chart. You can, however, explicitly specify the number of minor divisional lines.
A log column chart with the number of minor divisional lines explicitly specified looks like this:
