Attributes

This article contains the list of attributes of FusionTime. The attributes have been differentiated by FusionTime components.

Time Axis

The xAxis object is used to configure components of Time Axis. You can create the xAxis object under dataSource.

Syntax:

new FusionCharts({
    type: 'timeseries',
    dataSource: {
        xAxis {
                plot: ' ', //Column Name
                timemarker: [{
                    // Attributes of Time Marker
                }]
        }
    },
});
Attribute Type Description
plot String Defines the column, which will be plotted along this axis.
timeMarker Array(Time Marker Configuration) Array of TimeMarkerConfigs that will be shown along the axis.

Style Time Axis Components

You can add style to the x-Axis components using style object under xaxis object.

new FusionCharts({
    "type": 'timeseries',
    "dataSource": {
        xAxis {
                "plot": ' ', //Column Name

Date/time Format

outputFormat attribute is used to set the format of the column being grouped. To set the date/time format of the chart, set the value of outputFormat attribute as per your requirement.

List of predefined date/time format is given below:

Date/Time Format Description
%a Abbreviated weekday name.
%A Full weekday name.
%b Abbreviated month name.
%B Full month name.
%d Zero-padded day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
%H Hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].
%I Hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].
%j Day of a year as a decimal number [001,366].
%m Month as a decimal number [01,12].
%M Minute as a decimal number [00,59].
%L Milliseconds as a decimal number [000, 999].
%p Can either be AM or PM.
%S Second as a decimal number [00, 61].
%y A year without century as a decimal number [00,99].
%Y A year with century as a decimal number [2000, 1999].
%Z Time Zone offset, such as -0700, -07:00, -07, or Z.
%% A literal percent sign (%). This token might seem useless, but remember that the tokens reserve the % symbol for their own use. This token acts as an escape character to literally allow a % symbol in a date string.

Example:

unitDefaultFormats = {
  Year: "%Y", // 2018
  Month: "%b %Y", // Jan 2018
  Day: "%b %d, %Y", // Jan 01, 2018
  Hour: "%b %d, %Y %H hrs", // Jan 01, 2018 23 hrs
  Minute: "%b %d, %Y %H:%M", // Jan 01, 2018 23:34
  Second: "%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S", // Jan 01, 2018 23:34:26
  Millisecond: "%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S:%L" // Jan 01, 2018 23:34:26:123
};

Paddings

In addition to the tokens listed above, it is often necessary to specify padding within the date/time format. For example - 12/02/2018, 12/ 2/2018 and 12/2/2018 all represent 2nd December 2018. The only difference between the three dates is that the day part of the date string has different padding:

  • The first example is padded with a zero.
  • The second example has been padded with space.
  • The third example has no padding.

To handle the above cases, the padding modifiers are listed below:

Padding Description
- (Dash) No padding (For example, 12/02/2018)
_ (Underscore) Space padding (For example, 12/ 2/2018)
