I fixed the ssl warning issue by doing this:

- Stop coldfusion
- backup file webcharts3D.xml
- Edit webcharts3D.xml - replace http://active.macromedia.com with https://download.macromedia.com
- start coldfusion

note:
webcharts3D.xml is located in
C:\CFusionMX7\lib or C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib

I haven't seen any ill effects... so far :P

Possible solution to odd scale values in gridlines. I found that if I added one more gridline than I thought necessary, then the values came out correct. For example, if the scalefrom=0 and scaleto=2000, i would have thought 20 gridlines would give me scale values of 100, 200, 300, etc... Not the case. However, 21 gridlines did give me the right scale.

Has someone else faced Slow plots using ? I created a line graph using data from a query and then plotting it with . The number of plots ranges from 300-3000 points. I have checked the query to see if thats what is making it slow but its not that. It only takes close to 300ms to spit out data to the charting code. However the charting takes about 60+secs to show a line or curve. Does anyone have a solution to this?

nevermind, I just saw the post about the sortXAxis = "yes/no". This fixed it.

Is there a bug on placing a line graph series with a bar graph series? It seems that the bar graph forces all other graphs to be spaces out rather than one on top of one another. However if I change the bar graph to an area chart, the spacing is correct. Here is my example of three straight lines across the top of an ara chart:

xAxisTitle = "Division"
yAxisTitle = "#ThisReport[i][3]#"
format = "flash"
chartHeight = "300"
chartWidth = "400"
scaleTo = "100"
gridlines = "11"
markerSize="1">
type="line"
seriesLabel="Comparative data"
seriesColor="blue">

type="line"
seriesLabel="Annual Goal"
seriesColor="##06FF00">

type="line"
seriesLabel="Minimal Acceptable"
seriesColor="yellow">

type="area"
seriesLabel="Divisions"
seriesColor="#strColor#">

I would rather have the area chart be a bar chart, but the spacing just throws it off.

when creating a rotated 3d flash chart , the xAxis labels seem to be upside down. Any way to fix this?

xaxistitle="Date"
yaxistitle="Value"
showBorder="no"
labelFormat="number"
format="flash"
sortXAxis="no"

If you know the maximum Y-value of your chart (maxchartvalue), you can control your y-axis label increment as well as the number of grid lines follows.

Then set these attributes in your cfchart:

gridlines="#numgridlineS#"
scale="#scaleto#"

cfchart has been working fine on our 2003 environment and then suddenly it has stopped :(

the graphs are being created in the cache BUT the graph does not load it just sits there waiting to load.... can any one shed some light on why this may have happened? its cfmx 6.1 standard

HELP !!!

Your charts might be timing out on the production server. Have you checked if the datasources that you are using are accessible from the production server?

If yes, then check that the response time from the data sources is same for the development and production servers.

I have a problem where my chart is displayed properly on my development server which is a Windows XP system, however, when I try to display the chart on my production server the page seems to hang and only shows a blank square where the chart should be. If I change the chart type to JPG, I get the little red X icon.

I have checked the virtual directories and they are identical, I have also checked the versions of CFMX and they are both 6,1,0,63958 Enterprise. Just to be sure, I tried it on a Windows 2003 server and had the same problem.

Any ideas on what is going on here? Thanks. -rookk-kdr

A simpler method you might try, along the same lines is by adding a gridlines tag with the following variable to your CFChart tag

gridlines="#gl#"

It's possible to set the Legend location if you create your own style (as per http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?href=00001431.htm&single=true )

I've added placement="right" to the tag in my style.xml file, and now the legend always appear to the right of my graph.

oops, there is an error in the comment I posted yesterday! Try this instead:

function cfChartScaleTo(MaxDataValue) {
return ((MaxDataValue \ YAxisTicNum) + 1) * YAxisTicNum;
}

I also should have mentioned that YAxisTicNum is a global constant you'll have to set. It is the number of tics on the Y axis of a cfchart. Normally, there are 9 tics on the chart, so the function returns a ScaleTo number that is always divisible by 9. If the labels on your X axis are very large though, cfchart will use less tics. So, you have to call cfchart once and see what number it picks and then set YAxisTicNum to that.

Find the max value that will be displayed on the chart, and pass it to this function:

function cfChartScaleTo(MaxDataValue) {
return ((MaxDataValue \ YAxisTicNum) + MaxDataValue mod YAxisTicNum) * YAxisTicNum;
}

You can then use the result of the function as the ScaleTo parameter to cfChart. Works for me every time.

I still haven't seen any response about whether interpolation actually works. I haven't been able to get it to work at all. Is there a special case that you have to use to get it to interpolate points between series?

Up until today, cfchart was working beautifully in my applications. Now, whenever I use it to try and display, I only get the dredded Red x that denotes the image can't be found. Any idea why this behaviour would just start happening, out of the blue? Please send your comments to cgsj_usa@yahoo.com. Thanks.

For some reason CFCHART keeps using decimals ... Tried using the rounding technique displayed here but it does not want to round the numbers. Anyone else having this issue?

The xaxistype="scale" attribute is useful for plotting coordinate data.
Unfortunately, the scaleto and gridlines attributes only apply to the y-axis. I need similar attributes for the x-axis as the default scaling of the x-axis is messy.
Will this be fixed in CFMX7?

I was wondering if Blackstone has/will have the capability of doing Log Scaling on the Y axis? Or if this is still a desired function of the CFChart tag? Really need this to produce the desired charts for my reports. Thanks

We would also like an efficient way to have our dhtml menu over lay the Flash cfchart! Please consider this for Blackstone (if it isn't already too late)!

To avoid the problem described by WhazzInAName, use the sortXAxis attribute of the cfchart tag, and set the value to yes, for example .

Hi All !

I have a problem with creating two different chart series that have the same range of x and y data but different values on the x and y axis. Cfchart seems to plot them in different chart areas instead of overlapping them in the same area.

This problems has been documented in another post on the web which I am reproducing below and which explains my dilemma....

I'm trying to create a graph with two different chart series over top of each other. The problem that I'm running into is that each chart series is unrelated to the other. The only thing they have in common is the ranges of the x and y data. In this case, the x's fall in between 20 and 100 and y's fall in between 70.000 and 390.000.

Here's a sample of my data:

Series 1 (x,y)
----------
25, 99.357
31, 123.697
43, 163.415
52, 194.176
74, 314.805
87, 366.572

Series 2 (x,y)
----------
20, 74.311
25, 93.765
30, 113.589
35, 133.794
40, 154.391
45, 175.391
50, 196.807
55, 218.652
60, 240.937
65, 263.676
70, 286.884
75, 310.576
80, 334.765
85, 359.469
90, 384.704

What I'm finding is that Cold Fusion will actually display the series side-by-side instead of overlapping. It SEEMS that unless the "item" attribute of the tags line up in the different series, then the graph won't display the series as overlapping, but rather side by side.

Here is the code I'm using...

Has anyone encountered this problem and does anyone have a workaround over this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks a bunch :)

Decimals are graphed just make sure that there is no space in the value exampl value=" 80.25" is incorrect while value="80.25" is correct.

Bar chart colour has been set in the cfchartseries tag and works as long as the query returns more than one record. If it returns a single record it changes the colour to gold. It looks like we are highlighting some areas when actually want them all the same colour. Ideas?

Y axis labels...I want to set them and not have them vary according to the data set. The customer wants the to read 25, 50, 75, 100 for a report displaying percentages. Ideas? Thanks!
