Hey Guys, I am using the drawing pad with annotations (as you suggested in a previous post) and it is simply awesome. See the screenshot below. This is driven from the database and allows our users to see graphically what is going on in the yard. I could not be happier with the way this is turning out! Thanks! I have a couple questions: (I have been through the docs and don't see how I might handle these items) 1. You will notice on the png below that there are horizontal and vertical parking spaces on the yard. The horizontal slots are easy to label as you can see. The vertical slots are different. Is there a way to display text vertically on the drawing pad? (I see this on many of the other charts and graphs. 2. Can I make something in the annotation a link? I have it setup so that we can hover over a truck and it will provide whatever info we want in the tooltip (very cool!). Can I put a link in the tooltip? Thanks for an excellent tool! Scott

Hey Guys, I am using a scatter chart and have created a background for it so that it looks like a trucking yard and I can plot the trucks around the yard via the xml. This works great! Are there any other shapes I can use as anchors. So far, I see 3 sided triangles, 4 sided diamonds, and so forth. I would like to use a rectangle (either via xml config or a .png or some such.) The rectangle more close resembles the trailer of a truck and would be very cool visually rather than the diamond or triangle. Is there anything I can do to accomplish this? Thanks! Scott

Ok. Thanks. Could I draw a line (it would be a small line ) between two specific points on the chart? This could give me the effect I am after. So if I have various parking locations on my trucking yard and I want to draw a small redline, let's say, to represent a trailer on some specific location of the chart, is that do-able? Ultimately, there would be lots of small lines representing trailers in parking spots around the yard. If this is possible, can you point me to the right docs? Thanks! Scott

Hi, I am experimenting with the Scatter chart sample. I have succesfully made a number of changes by playing with the xml settings. Ultimately, I am trying to chart the locations of trailers on a trucking yard using this tool. To that end, I want to place a layout of the trucking yard as the background image for the chart. I have created a jpeg file with visio that looks like a fictional trucking yard but I can not get it to display. I placed the yard.jpeg file in the same directory as the in the charts directory (C:Usersscott7DownloadsFusionChartsFusionCharts_EvaluationCharts). At the moment I am running off my c drive, no webserver is involved. Here is what my chart element looks like: <chart palette='1' caption= 'YMS - Columbus, OH' numDivLines='13' yAxisName='Slots' xAxisName='Slots' rotateNames='0' showLegend='1' showNames='1' xAxisMaxValue='10' xAxisMinValue='1' yAxisMaxValue='10' decimals='1' bgSWF='yard.jpeg' > What am I missing? Thank you for your help in advance! Scott

Thanks guys. Here is what I did over the weekend that took care of it - and it is the advice from you both rotateNames='0' showLegend='0' showNames='0' showLabels='0' bgSWF='Contents/Images/yard.jpg' canvasBgAlpha='00' canvasBorderColor='333333' canvasBorderThickness='0' showYAxisValues='0' bgAlpha='0' xAxisMaxValue="100" xAxisMinValue="00" yAxisMaxValue="7" decimals="1"> Thanks again.
