Chart Atributes
Functional Attributes
These attributes let you control a variety of functional elements on the chart. For example, you can opt to show/hide data labels, data values. You can also set chart limits and extended properties.
This attribute gives you the option to control animation in your charts. If you do not want to animate any part of the chart, set this as 0. By default,
animation` is set to 1.
Range: 0/1
This attribute sets the animation duration of the chart. animationDuration
attribute is applicable only if animation of the chart is enabled.
Default value: 1 sec
Range: In seconds
This attribute enables you to set whether the initial animation of the 3D elements in chart canvas will occur or not. If set to 0, it will also set off chart canvas' rotation while using JavaScript API functions like view2D(), resetView(), rotateView().
The view will be updated instantly without any rotation or animation.
Range: 0/1
It sets the time in seconds (can accept decimals) that the 3D elements of the chart take to animate when the chart is rendered initially. This attribute also sets the time that the chart canvas will take to animate when the chart is transformed to any view (View3D, View 2D, Reset View) using context menu (right click menu). This is also applicable while using JavaScript API functions - view2D(), view3D, resetView() or rotateView()
. Default value is 0.5.
Range: 0.00 - 10.00
FusionCharts XT uses the concept of Color Palettes. Each chart has 5 pre-defined color palettes which you can choose from. Each palette renders the chart in a different color theme.
Range: 1-5
While the palette
attribute allows to select a palette theme that applies to chart background, canvas, font and tool-tips, it does not change the colors of data items (i.e., column, line, pie etc.). Using paletteColors
attribute, you can specify your custom list of hex colors for the data items. The list of colors have to be separated by comma e.g., "paletteColors": "#FF0000, #0372AB, #FF5904..."
. The chart will cycle through the list of specified colors and then render the data plot accordingly. To use the same set of colors throughout all your charts in a web application, you can store the list of palette colors in your application globally and then provide the same in each chart JSON.
Range: List of hex color codes separated by comma
This attribute lets you control whether empty data sets in your data will be connected to each other OR do they appear as broken data sets.
Range: 0/1
If you've both area and column plots on the combination chart, this attribute lets you configure whether area chart will appear over column chart.
Range: 0/1
It sets the configuration whether the x-axis labels will be displayed or not.
Range: 0/1
This attribute can be used to set the maximum height for the x-axis labels (data labels) excluding the x-axis title. If any label goes beyond this height, the label will be truncated. In stagger mode, the number of stagger lines will be reduced if they exceed this value.
Range: In Pixels
Using this attribute, you can customize the alignment of data labels (x-axis labels). There are 5 options: AUTO, WRAP, STAGGER, ROTATE or NONE. By default, this attribute is set to AUTO mode which means that the alignment of the data labels is determined automatically depending on the size of the chart. WRAP wraps the label text if it is too long to fit in one line. ROTATE rotates the labels vertically. STAGGER divides the labels into multiple lines.
Range: 'AUTO', 'WRAP', 'STAGGER', 'ROTATE', 'NONE'
When enabled in auto mode, long data labels are truncated by adding ellipses to prevent them from overflowing the chart background. The default value is 1.
Range: 0/1
This attribute lets you set whether the data labels will show up as rotated labels on the chart.
Range: 0/1
If you've opted to show rotated labels on chart, this attribute lets you set the configuration whether the labels will show as slanted labels or fully vertical ones.
Range: 0/1
Sets the configuration whether data values will be displayed along with the data plot on chart.
Range: 0/1
If you've opted to show data values on the chart, this attribute lets you adjust the vertical alignment of data values with respect to dataplots. By default, this attribute is set to AUTO mode in which the alignment of each data value is determined automatically based on the position of each plot point. In ABOVE mode, data values are displayed above the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the upper edge of the canvas while in BELOW mode, data values are displayed below the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the lower edge of the canvas.
Range: "ABOVE", "BELOW", "AUTO"
If you've opted to show data values, you can rotate them using this attribute.
Range: 0/1
If you've opted to show data values, you can show them inside the columns using this attribute. By default, the data values show outside the column.
Range: 0/1
By default, all the labels are displayed on the chart. However, if you've a set of streaming data (like name of months or days of week), you can opt to show every n-th label for better clarity. This attribute just lets you do so. When a value greater than 1 (n) is set to this attribute, the first label from left and every label at the n-th position from left will be displayed. e.g., a chart showing data for 12 months and set with labelStep: 3
will show labels for January, April, July, and October. The rest of the labels will be skipped.
Range: 1 or above
If you've opted for STAGGER mode as labelDisplay
, using this attribute you can control how many lines to stagger the label to. By default, all labels are displayed in a single line.
Range: 2 or above
Whether to show chart limit values. If not specified showYAxisValues
attribute overrides this value.
Range: 0/1
Whether to show div line values. If not specified showYAxisValues
attribute overrides this value.
Range: 0/1
Whether to apply the shadow effects for data plot.
Range: 0/1
FusionCharts XT automatically tries to adjust divisional lines and limit values based on the data provided. However, if you want to set your explicit lower and upper limit values and number of divisional lines, first set this attribute to false. That will disable automatic adjustment of divisional lines.
Range: 0/1
The entire chart can now act as a hotspot. Use this URL to define the hotspot link for the chart. The link can be specified in FusionCharts Link format.
Sets whether the clickURL
attribute (that sets a link to which the user is directed when the chart is clicked) overrides the link
attribute (that sets a link to which the user is directed when a data plot is clicked).
Default value: 0 (clickURL
does not override link
)
Range: 0/1
This attribute lets you set whether the y-axis lower limit will be 0 (in case of all positive values on chart) or should the y-axis lower limit adapt itself to a different figure based on values provided to the chart.
Range: 0/1
This attribute, when set to 1, indicates to the chart that the text (rendered on the chart) may contain RTL characters and the textual display has to be managed accordingly.
This attribute lets you enable/disable the highlight effect, in the form of a fadeout
, for the data plots corresponding to a legend item. When this attribute is enabled and the mouse pointer is hovered over a legend item label, plots belonging to the other data series fadeout, by reducing their opacity.
The fadeout effect can be customized by specifying the fadeout color and opacity using the color
and alpha
attributes. Eg. fadeout|color=#ff0000, alpha=60
Whether to show "Print Chart" item in the context menu of the chart? Even if you opt to hide the item in context menu, you can still opt to invoke print()
JavaScript method of the chart to print the same.
Range: 0/1
This attribute changes the theme of the chart. There are 7 types of themes which have been made according to the different color combinations.
Range: 'fusion', 'gammel', 'candy', 'ocean', 'zune', 'carbon', 'umber'

You can either specify a constant string as the tooltip text or you can use variable values from the data level by prefixing a $ to the attribute name, for example, $name, $value.
Toolbar Attributes
Using this set of attributes, you can customize the toolbar on the chart. The advantage of having a toolbar is that it manages all the UI action elements (context menus, checkboxes, buttons) centrally. This provides a clean, uniform look and a better, more meaningful and logical grouping.

In case of server-side exporting, the action specifies whether the exported image will be sent back to client as download, or whether it'll be saved on the server.
Default value: download
Range: 'save' or 'download'
In case of server side exporting, this refers to the path of the server-side export handler (the ready-to-use scripts that we provide).
Lets you configure what output formats to allow for export of chart, in the export context menu, and also customize the label for each menu item. The attribute value should be a pipe (|) delimited separated key-value pair. Example: exportFormats: 'PNG=Export as High Quality Image|JPG|PDF=Export as PDF File'
This attributes sets the modes of export. To enable client-side exporting, set this attribute to client.
Default value: auto.
Note: Starting v3.12.1, the exportMode
attribute replaces the exportAtClientSide
attribute. However, you don’t need to make any changes to the existing setup because, the FusionCharts library comes with the proper mapping already provided.
Whether the menu items related to export (e.g., Save as JPEG etc.) will appear in the context menu of chart.
Range: 0/1
In case of server-side exporting and when using download as action, this lefts you configure whether the return image, PDF, SVG or XLSX will open in same window (as an attachment for download), or whether it will open in a new window.

.
Default value: 1
Range: 0/1
Chart Padding & Margins
The following attributes help you control chart margins and paddings. FusionCharts XT allows you manually customize the padding of various elements on the chart to allow advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. Padding in FusionCharts XT is always defined in pixels, unless the attribute itself suggests some other scale (like plotSpacePercent
, which configures the spacing using percentage values). 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.
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.
Range: 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).
Range: 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).
Range: 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.
Range: 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.
Range: In Pixels
This attribute helps you set the horizontal space between the canvas wall 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.
Range: In Pixels
This attribute sets the vertical space between the labels and canvas wall edge. If you want more space between the canvas and the x-axis labels, you can use this attribute to control it.
Range: In Pixels
It sets the vertical space between the end of columns and start of value textboxes. This basically helps you control the space you want between your columns/anchors and the value textboxes.
Range: In Pixels
On a column chart, there is spacing defined between two columns. By default, the spacing is set to 20% of canvas width. If you intend to increase or decrease the spacing between columns, you can do so using this attribute. For example, if you wanted all columns to stick to each other without any space in between, you can set plotSpacePercent
to 0. Similarly, if you want very thin columns, you can set plotSpacePercent
to its max value of 80.
Range: 0-80 (In Percent)
This attribute adds white space between columns/bars representing a single category. Applicable only when there are more than one datasets.
Range: 0 - 100

Range: In Pixels
Padding of legend from right/bottom side of canvas
Range: In Pixels
Allows you to set empty space on the left and right side of Line dataset or Area dataset on the chart canvas. This setting won't work if one or more Column datasets are present.
Range: In Pixels
This attribute lets you set the space between the left of the canvas border and the canvas of the chart. This attribute is particularly useful when your data plot gets clipped by the left border of the canvas. Using this attribute, you can control the amount of empty space between the chart left side and data plot which might get clipped.
Range: In Pixels
This attribute lets you set the space between the right of the canvas border and the canvas of the chart. This attribute is particularly useful when your data plot gets clipped by the right border of the canvas. Using this attribute, you can control the amount of empty space between the chart right side and data plot which might get clipped.
Range: In Pixels
This attribute lets you set the space between the top of the canvas border and the canvas of the chart. This attribute is particularly useful when your data plot gets clipped by the top border of the canvas. Using this attribute, you can control the amount of empty space between the chart's top and data plot which might get clipped.
Range: In Pixels
This attribute lets you set the space between the bottom of the canvas border and the canvas of the chart. This attribute is particularly useful when your data plot gets clipped by the bottom border of the canvas. Using this attribute, you can control the amount of empty space between the chart's bottom and data plot which might get clipped.
Range: 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.
Range: In Pixels
Like canvasLeftMargin
, this attribute lets you set the space between end of canvas and end of chart.
Range: In Pixels
Like canvasLeftMargin
, this attribute lets you set the space between top of canvas and top of chart.
Range: In Pixels

The tooltip defined in the category
object appears only when the mouse cursor is hovered over the data plots. However, this will not appear when the cursor is moved over the data labels (except for a situation when long labels are automatically truncated with ellipses. In this situation, if the mouse cursor is hovered over a truncated label, the tooltip will appear with the full label). In case you want to set a short label and show the full label in tooltip, define the full label using this attribute within the category
object. The tooltip with the full label will appear only when the mouse is hovered on the dataplot.

The dataset Object
Each dataset
object contains a series of data. For example, for a monthly sales comparison chart for two successive years, the first data-set would contain the data for first year and the next one for the second year. You can provide data-set level cosmetics so that all data within that data-set will be plotted in the same color/alpha/etc. Depending on the chart type, there are a number of attributes that you can define for each dataset
object.
This attribute defines what the particular dataset will be plotted as. Valid values are COLUMN, AREA or LINE.
Range: COLUMN, AREA or LINE
Lets you specify the series name for a particular dataset. For example, if you're plotting a chart to indicate monthly sales analysis for 2005 and 2006, the seriesName

By default, the attribute is set to AUTO mode in which the alignment of each data value is determined automatically based on the position of each plot point. In ABOVE mode, data values are displayed above the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the upper edge of the canvas. While in BELOW mode, data values are displayed below the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the lower edge of the canvas. The attribute will function only if showValue
attribute is set to 1 in this particular dataset.

Trend-lines
Trend-lines are horizontal lines that aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting the sales data for the current year, you might want to show the previous year's average monthly sales as a trend indicator for ease of comparison. The lines
object, child of the trendlines
object is used to add trend-lines to a chart.
Although the line
object has to be defined within the trendlines
object, the latter cannot be used to collectively customize trend-lines, because it does not have any attributes of its own.
The attributes of the lines
object, child of the trendlines
object, are used to create and customize trend-lines for charts.
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.
Range: 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
.
Range: Numeric Value
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
.

Trend-lines (Chart level attributes)
Trend-lines are horizontal lines that aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting the sales data for the current year, you might want to show the previous year's average monthly sales as a trend indicator for ease of comparison. Cosmetics for all the trend-lines rendered can be attained using this set of attributes.
Although there are set of attributes of the line object
, used to create and customize trend-lines, these set of attributes effect all the trend-lines rendered in your chart.
