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, y-axis values. You can also set chart limits and extended properties.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
animation	Boolean	0/1	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. This would also disable all animations applied using <styles>. animate3D can override this value. By default, animation is set to 1.
animate3D	Boolean	0/1	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 would also set off chart canvas' rotation while using JavaScript API functions like view2D(), resetView(), rotateView(). The view would be updated instantly without any rotation or animation.
exeTime	Number	0.00 - 10.00	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 would 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.
palette	Number	1-5	FusionCharts introduces 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. Valid values are 1-5. Default value is 1.
paletteColors	String	List of hex color codes separated by comma	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., <chart 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 XML.
showAboutMenuItem	Boolean	0/1	Setting this to 1 shows up a custom context menu in the chart, which can be customized to show your text and can be linked to your URL. For e.g., you can set the context menu of the chart to include "About your company name" and then link to your company home page. By default, the chart shows "About FusionCharts" when right clicked.
aboutMenuItemLabel	String		The menu item label for the custom context menu item.
aboutMenuItemLink	String	URL	Link for the custom context menu item. You can specify the link in FusionCharts link format to be able to open the same in new window, pop-ups, frames or as JavaScript links.
connectNullData	Boolean	0/1	This attributes lets you control whether empty data sets in your data will be connected to each other OR would they appear as broken data sets? Please see Discontinuous data section for more details on this.
showLabels	Boolean	0/1	It sets the configuration whether the x-axis labels will be displayed or not.
showValues	Boolean	0/1	Sets the configuration whether data values would be displayed along with the data plot on chart.
labelStep	Number	1 or above	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 next to 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.
yAxisValuesStep	Number	1 or above	By default, all div lines show their values. However, you can opt to skip every x(th) div line value using this attribute.
showYAxisValues	Boolean	0/1	FusionCharts y-axis 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.
showLimits	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show chart limit values. If not specified showYAxisValues attribute over-rides this value.
showDivLineValues	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show div line values. If not specified showYAxisValues attribute over-rides this value.
adjustDiv	Boolean	0/1	FusionCharts 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.
clickURL	String		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.
yAxisMinValue	Number		This attribute helps you explicitly set the lower limit of the chart. If you don't specify this value, it is automatically calculated by FusionCharts based on the data provided by you.
yAxisMaxValue	Number		This attribute helps you explicitly set the upper limit of the chart. If you don't specify this value, it is automatically calculated by FusionCharts based on the data provided by you.
setAdaptiveYMin	Boolean	0/1	This attribute lets you set whether the y-axis lower limit would 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.
centerYaxisName Since v1.3	Boolean	0/1	This attribute when set to '1', allows you to align the y-axis name with respect to the height of the chart. When set to '0', the y-axis name is aligned with respect to the height of the canvas.

defaultNumberScale	String		The default unit of the numbers that you're providing to the chart. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
numberScaleUnit	String		Unit of each block of the scale. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
numberScaleValue	String		Range of the various blocks that constitute the scale. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
numberPrefix	String	Character	Using this attribute, you could add prefix to all the numbers visible on the graph. For example, to represent all dollars figure on the chart, you could specify this attribute to ' $' to show like $40000, $50000. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
numberSuffix	String	Character	Using this attribute, you could add suffix to all the numbers visible on the graph. For example, to represent all figure quantified as per annum on the chart, you could specify this attribute to ' /a' to show like 40000/a, 50000/a. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
decimalSeparator	String	Character	This option helps you specify the character to be used as the decimal separator in a number. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
thousandSeparator	String	Character	This option helps you specify the character to be used as the thousands separator in a number. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
inDecimalSeparator	String	Character	In some countries, commas are used as decimal separators and dots as thousand separators. In XML, if you specify such values, it will give a error while converting to number. So, FusionCharts accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can covert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the decimal separator. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
inThousandSeparator	String	Character	In some countries, commas are used as decimal separators and dots as thousand separators. In XML, if you specify such values, it will give a error while converting to number. So, FusionCharts accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can covert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the thousand separator. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
decimals	Number	0-10	Number of decimal places to which all numbers on the chart would be rounded to.
forceDecimals	Boolean	0-1	Whether to add 0 padding at the end of decimal numbers. For example, If you limit the maximum number of decimal digits to 2, a number like 55.345 will be rounded to 55.34. This does not mean that all numbers will be displayed with a fixed number of decimal places. For instance 55 will not be displayed as 55.00 and 55.1 will not become 55.10. In order to have fixed number of decimal places attached to all the numbers, set this attribute to 1. For more details, please see Advanced Charting > Number Formatting > Basics page.
forceYAxisValueDecimals Since v1.3	Boolean	0/1	Whether to forcefully attach decimal places to all y-axis values. For example, If you limit the maximum number of decimal digits to 2, a number like 55.345 will be rounded to 55.34. This does not mean that all y-axis numbers will be displayed with a fixed number of decimal places. For instance 55 will not be displayed as 55.00 and 55.1 will not become 55.10. In order to have fixed number of decimal places attached to all y-axis numbers, set this attribute to 1. For more details, please see Advanced Charting > Number Formatting > Basics page.
yAxisValueDecimals	Number	0-10	If you've opted to not adjust div lines, you can specify the div line values decimal precision using this attribute. For more details, please see Advanced Charting > Number Formatting > Basics page.

Using the attributes below, you can define the generic font properties for all the text on the chart. These attributes allow you a high level control over font properties.

If you intend to specify font properties for individual chart elements (like Caption, sub-caption, etc.), you need to use the STYLES feature of FusionCharts. Using STYLES, you can also specify advanced font properties like Bold, Italics, HTML Mode, etc.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
baseFont	String	Font Name	This attribute lets you set the font face (family) of all the text (data labels, values etc.) on chart. If you specify outCnvBaseFont attribute also, then this attribute controls only the font face of text within the chart canvas bounds.
baseFontSize	Number	0-72	This attribute sets the base font size of the chart i.e., all the values and the names in the chart which lie on the canvas will be displayed using the font size provided here.
baseFontColor	Color		This attribute sets the base font color of the chart i.e., all the values and the names in the chart which lie on the canvas will be displayed using the font color provided here.
outCnvBaseFont	String	Font Name	This attribute sets the base font family of the chart font which lies outside the canvas i.e., all the values and the names in the chart which lie outside the canvas will be displayed using the font name provided here.
outCnvBaseFontSize	Number	0-72	This attribute sets the base font size of the chart i.e., all the values and the names in the chart which lie outside the canvas will be displayed using the font size provided here.
outCnvBaseFontColor	Color		This attribute sets the base font color of the chart i.e., all the values and the names in the chart which lie outside the canvas will be displayed using the font color provided here.

These attributes let you control the tool tip. You can set the background color, border color, separator character, and few other details.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
showToolTip	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show tool tip on chart?
toolTipBgColor	Color		Background Color for tool tip.
toolTipBorderColor	Color		Border Color for tool tip.
toolTipSepChar	String		The character specified as the value of this attribute separates the name and value displayed in tool tip.
showToolTipShadow	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show shadow for tool-tips on the chart.
seriesNameInToolTip	Boolean	0/1	For multi-series and combination charts, FusionCharts shows the following information in tool tip (unless tool text is explicitly defined): "Series Name, Category Name, Data Value". This attribute lets you control whether series name would show up in tool tip or not?

The following attributes help you control chart margins and paddings.

FusionCharts lets you customize the padding of various elements on the chart manually that allows advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. Padding in FusionCharts is always defined in pixels, unless the attribute itself suggests some other scale (like plotSpacePercent).

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 wouldn't plot anything in that space.

It's not necessary to specify any padding/margin values. FusionCharts automatically assumes the best values for the same, if not specified.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
captionPadding	Number	In Pixels	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.
yLabelGap	Number	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.
xLabelGap	Number	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.
valuePadding	Number	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.
plotSpacePercent	Number	0-80 (In Percent)	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.
chartLeftMargin	Number	In Pixels	Amount of empty space that you want to put on the left side of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.
chartRightMargin	Number	In Pixels	Amount of empty space that you want to put on the right side of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.
chartTopMargin	Number	In Pixels	Amount of empty space that you want to put on the top of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.
chartBottomMargin	Number	In Pixels	Amount of empty space that you want to put on the bottom of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.
legendPadding	Number	In Pixels	Padding of legend from right/bottom side of canvas
canvasPadding	Number	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.

The <categories> element lets you bunch together x-axis labels of the chart. For a multi-series/combination chart, it's necessary to provide data labels using <category> elements under <categories> element.

The following properties of <categories> element help you control the font properties of data labels.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
font	String	Valid font face	Lets you specify font face for the x-axis data labels.
fontSize	Number		Lets you specify font size for the x-axis data labels.
fontColor	Color	Hex Code	Lets you specify font color for the x-axis data labels.

Each <category> element represents an x-axis data label.

In multi-series/combination charts, it's necessary to provide an equal number of <category> elements and data items (<set> elements within each <dataset>). FusionCharts plots only those data items for which it could find a respective <category> element.

You can specify the following attributes for <category> element:

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
label	String		This attribute determines the label for the data item. The label appears on the x-axis of chart.
showLabel	Boolean	0/1	You can individually opt to show/hide labels of individual data items using this attribute.
toolText	String		The label of each category shows up on the x-axis. However, there might be cases where you want to display short label (or abbreviated label) on the axis and show the full label as tool tip. This attribute lets you specify the tool tip text for the label.

Each <dataset> element contains a series of data.

For example, if we're plotting a monthly sales comparison chart for 2 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.

Also, each data-set can be named using the seriesName attribute of <dataset> element. The series name appears in the legend of the chart. In our previous example, the series name could have well been 2005 and 2006 for first and second data-set respectively.

Depending on the chart type, there are a number of properties, which you can define for each <dataset> element.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
renderAs	String	COLUMN, AREA or LINE	This attribute defines what the particular data-set will be plotted as. Valid values are COLUMN, AREA or LINE.
seriesName	String		Lets you specify the series name for a particular data-set. For example, if you're plotting a chart to indicate monthly sales analysis for 2005 and 2006, the seriesName for the first dataset would be 2005 and that of the second would be 2006. The seriesName of a data-set is shown in legend.
color	Color	Hex Code (Or Comma separated list)	This attribute sets the color using which columns, lines, area of that data-set would be drawn. For column chart, you can specify a list of comma separated hex codes to get a gradient plot.
showValues	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show the values for this data-set?
includeInLegend	Boolean	0/1	Whether to include the seriesName of this data-set in legend? This can be particularly useful when you're using combination charts and you've used the area/line chart to plot a trend, and you do not want the seriesName of that trend to appear in legend.

Each <set> element (child of <chart> or <dataset> element) represents a set of data, which is to be plotted on the graph and determines a set of data which would appear on the chart.

For a single series chart, a typical <set> element would look like:
<set label='January' value='17400' />

For a multi-series chart, it would look like:
<dataset seriesName='2006'>
<set value='35445' />
<set value='35675' />
.... and so on ....
</dataset>

In multi-series/combination charts, you should again note that the number of <category> elements should be equal to the number of data points in each data sets, i.e., if you mention twelve categories (twelve months), the data for both years (2005 & 2006) should also contain twelve <set> elements (twelve rows of data).

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
value	Number		Numerical value for the data item. This value would be plotted on the chart.
displayValue	String		If instead of the numerical value of this data, you wish to display a custom string value, you can specify the same here. Examples are annotation for a data item etc.
link	String		You can define links for individual data items. That enables the end user to click on data items (columns, lines, bars etc.) and drill down to other pages. To define the link for data items, use the link attribute. You can define links that open in same window, new window, pop-up window or frames. Please see "Advanced Charting > Drill Down Charts" for more information. Also, you'll need to URL Encode all the special characters (like ? and &) present in the link.
toolText	String		By default, FusionCharts shows the series Name, Category Name and value as tool tip text for that data item. But, if you want to display more information for the data item as tool tip, you can use this attribute to specify the same.

Using the <trendLines> element (and children <line> elements), you can define trendlines on the chart.

Trend lines are horizontal/vertical lines spanning the chart canvas, which aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting sales data of current year, you might want to add previous year's average monthly sales as trend indicator for ease of comparison.

For each trend line on the chart, you need to define a <line> element under <trendLines> element as under:

<trendLines>
<line startValue='895' color='FF0000' displayvalue='Average' />
</trendLines>

You can control the cosmetic and functional properties of trend-lines using the following attributes:

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
startValue	Number	Numeric Value	The starting value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the startValue would be 102.
endValue	Number	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 would be 109. If you do not specify a value for endValue, it would automatically assume the same value as startValue.
displayValue	String		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.
color	String	Hex Code	Color of the trend line and its associated text.
thickness	Number	In Pixels	If you've opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define the thickness of trend line.
alpha	Number	0-100	Alpha of the trend line.
valueOnRight	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show the trendline value on left side or right side of chart? This is particularly useful when the trend line display values on the chart are colliding with divisional lines values on the chart.
