Configuring Bullet Graph
FusionCharts Suite XT allows you to configure several cosmetic and functional properties for the bullet graphs.
In this section, you will be shown how you can:
Customizing Plot and Target Properties
Customizing Color Properties
A bullet graph with the color properties customized looks like this:

It is used to specify the hex code for the fill color for the plot bar, e.g. #23ACB5. |

It is used to specify the transparency for the plot bar. This attribute takes values between 0 (transparent) and 100 (opaque), e.g. 20. |

It is used to specify the transparency for the plot border. This attribute takes values between 0 (transparent) and 100 (opaque), e.g. 50. |
Customizing the Plot and Target Width and Height
By default, the chart automatically decides the width/height (width in case of a vertical bullet graph and height in case of the horizontal bullet graph) based on the data you provide. However, you can configure these manually.
A horizontal bullet graph with the height of the plot and target bar customized looks like this:

|
It is used to specify the ratio in which each color constituent in the gradient fill mix will be applied to the color range, e.g. 10, 70, 20. |

It is used to specify whether a border will be shown for the color range. Setting this attribute to |
|
It is used to specify the hex code for the border color for the color range, e.g. #444444. |
|
It is used to specify the thickness, in pixels, for the color range border, e.g. 3. |
|
It is used to specify the transparency of the color range border. This attribute takes values between 0 (transparent) and 100 (opaque), e.g. 100. |
To render the bullet graph in 2D, set the colorRangeFillMix attribute to an empty value, like this "colorRangeFillMix": "".

Customizing Tick Marks and Tick Values
Customizing Tick/Value Visibility and Positioning
In a horizontal bullet graph, by default, the tick marks are rendered below the graph; you can opt to render it above the graph. In a vertical bullet graph, by default, the tick marks are rendered on the right; you can opt to show them on the left. You can also opt to hide the tick marks and tick values.
A horizontal bullet graph with the tick/value visibility and positioning customized looks like this:

|---|---|
|
It is used to specify the number of major tick marks to be rendered. |
|
It is used to specify the number of minor tick marks to be rendered. |
|
It is used to specify the hex code of the color using which the major tick marks will be rendered on the gauge, e.g. #333333. |
|
It is used to specify the transparency of the major tick marks. This attribute takes values between 0 (transparent) and 100 (opaque), e.g. 100. |
|
It is used to specify the height of the major tick marks, e.g. 15. |
|
It is used to specify the thickness of the major tick marks, e.g. 2. |
|
It is used to specify the hex code of the color using which the minor tick marks will be rendered on the gauge, e.g. #666666. |
|
It is used to specify the transparency of the minor tick marks. This attribute takes values between 0 (transparent) and 100 (opaque), e.g. 100. |
|
It is used to specify the height of the minor tick marks, e.g. 12. |
