Multi-series Spline Attributes

Expand all attributes

Functional Attributes

These attributes let you control a variety of functional elements on the chart. For example, you can opt to show or hide data labels, data values, y-axis values. You can also set chart limits and extended properties.

chart

: {

animation

: Boolean

[+]

This attribute lets you set the configuration whether the chart should appear in an animated fashion. If you do not want to animate any part of the chart, set this as 0.

Range: 0/1

palette

: Number

[+]

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

paletteColors

: String

[+]

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 (that is, 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. For example, "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

showLabels

: Boolean

[+]

It sets the configuration whether the x-axis labels will be displayed or not.

Range: 0/1

maxLabelHeight

: Number

[+] since 3.5.0

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

labelDisplay

: String

[+]

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'

useEllipsesWhenOverflow

: Boolean

[+] since 3.2

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

rotateLabels

: Boolean

[+]

This attribute lets you set whether the data labels would show up as rotated labels on the chart.

Range: 0/1

slantLabels

: Boolean

[+]

If you have opted to show rotated labels on chart, this attribute lets you set the configuration whether the labels would show as slanted labels or fully vertical ones.

Range: 0/1

labelStep

: Number

[+]

By default, all the labels are displayed on the chart. However, if you have 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 attributes just lets you do so. It allows to display every n(th) x-axis label.

Range: 1 or above

staggerLines

: Number

[+]

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

showValues

: Boolean

[+]

Sets the configuration whether data values would be displayed along with the data plot on chart.

Range: 0/1

valuePosition

: String

[+] since 3.2

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"

rotateValues

: Boolean

[+]

If you've opted to show data values, you can rotate them using this attribute.

Range: 0/1

showYAxisValues

: Boolean

[+]

The y-axis of the chart is divided into vertical sections using div (divisional) lines. Each div line assumes a value based on its position. Using this attribute you can set whether to show those div line (y-axis) values or not. The values of showLimits and showDivLineValues, if specified explicitly, overrides the value of this attribute.

Range: 0/1

showLimits

: Boolean

[+]

Whether to show chart limit values. If not specified showYAxisValues overrides this attribute.

Range: 0/1

showDivLineValues

: Boolean

[+]

Whether to show div line values. If not specified showYAxisValues overrides this attribute.

: Number

[+]

By default, all div lines show their values. However, you can opt to display every x(th) div line value using this attribute.

Range: 1 or above

showShadow

: Boolean

[+]

Whether to apply the shadow effects for data plot.

Range: 0/1

adjustDiv

: Boolean

[+]

The chart 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 would disable automatic adjustment of divisional lines.

Range: 0/1

rotateYAxisName

: Boolean

[+]

If you do not wish to rotate y-axis name, set this as 0. It specifically comes to use when you have special characters (UTF8) in your y-axis name that do not show up in rotated mode.

Range: 0/1

yAxisNameWidth

: Number

[+]

If you opt to not rotate y-axis name, you can choose a maximum width that will be applied to y-axis name.

Chart Padding & Margins

The following attributes help you control chart margins and paddings. PowerCharts XT allows you manually customize the padding of various elements on the chart to allow advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. Padding in PowerCharts 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, PowerCharts XT would not plot anything in that space. It is not necessary for you to specify any padding/margin values. PowerCharts XT automatically assumes the best values for the same, if you do not specify the same.

chart

: {

captionPadding

: Number

[+]

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

Range: In Pixels

canvasLeftMargin

: Number

[+]

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. Using this attribute, you can control the amount of empty space between the chart left side and canvas left side. By default, the chart 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 have 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 does not get rejected by chart owing to it being lower than the calculated value) for all such charts in the page.

Range: In Pixels

canvasRightMargin

: Number

[+]

Like canvasLeftMargin, this attribute lets you set the space between end of canvas and end of chart.

Range: In Pixels

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.

Range: "ABOVE", "BELOW", "AUTO"

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.
