Many people run into the problem of having x axis labels like 3.7033333. To get around this, make sure your scaleTo and gridLines values match this formula:

scaleTo must be evenly divisible by (gridLines - 1)

For example:

gridLines = 12;
scaleTo = your_max_value_to_be_graphed;

while ( scaleTo mod (gridLines - 1) NEQ 0) { scaleTo = scaleTo + 1;}

I see a lot of postings on other blogs about removing the x-axis labels. In the default.xml file of the CFusionMX7/charting/styles directory, add isVisible="false" in the tag. So it looks like .

This changes the default frameChart style. You can create your own style by copying the xml file and renaming it with a different file name. Be sure to point to this new file with the styles="" command in the cfchart tag.

Concerning the "URL" attribute AFAIK you can't directly target to another window. To do so you must pass $ITEMLABEL$ variable via javascript. But it is problematic when $ITEMLABEL$ contains special characters like apostrophes. Indeed in this particular case JsStringFormat (with or without # signs) does exactly nothing : apostrophe are not escaped and generate a javascript "missing ) after argument list". I believe it is a bug.

style="/charts/templates/mdb_pie.xml"
format="flash"
rl="javascript:Chart_OnClick('JsStringFormat($ITEMLABEL$)');">
...>

This page states that the default for showLegend is yes when in fact it is no. I wish it were yes since it was in CF6 now I have to add this value to all my charts that were previously created in CF6 so that the legend will show in CF7.

Note that the default for seriesplacement is not actually "default" but rather "clustered". You will only notice a difference if you are viewing 3D graphs. This is probably a server bug rather than a docs bug so I'll report it as one.

hey,

two major mistakes in this page:

- pieSliceStyle attributes has default to SOLID and not SLICED as said above
- show3D attributes has default to NO and not YES as said above

;o) happy coding to all !

The history section of the cfchart tag states the "rotated" attribute has been removed; however the "Attributes" table still includes the rotated attribute. Please update your attributes table.

To show horizontal bars use the cfchartseries type="horizontalbar".

Applying custom styles to cfchart tag

1. Create a custom style by using the webcharts designer. (\charting\webcharts.bat)
2. The custom style is in the style tab of the webcharts GUI.
3. Save this xml in a file to your web root/ directory where you have the cfm to create the graph. (e.g. you save the file by name "myStyle.xml" in wwwroot\charts directory.
4. Use the "style" attribute to import these settings in the tag. e.g.
you have cfm in wwwroot folder then you can say -
