Hi THanks for the reply, but I can't do this on the chart because the data is generated from a database, so the values might be 0 to 2.5 (as is the case here), or they might be 0 to 500. Having just 2 div lines is not appropriate The question I am asking is why the scale goes from 0 to 5 when the data only goes from 0 to 2.5 Is this a bug in the maths behind the auto scaling? - if so when will it be fixed? Thanks Mark

Hi Thanks for the reply. I DO NOT want to explicitly set the min and max values of the axis (by using adjustdiv, or yaxismaxvalue) Because the data that comes out of the Database is not a fixed set of values, I need FusionCharts to automatically scale, which is what the above graph does. My issue is that this auto scaling goes from 0 to 5, which is surely wrong if the data only goes from 0 to 2.5 - Half of the graph is blank, which loses some of the visibility of the data - if it was more spread out, we would be able to differentiate more between the lines Hope this makes sense! Thanks Mark

Hi I've attached the XML call IS this all you need? Thanks Mark temp.txt

See the attachments When this graph is shown , the values on teh yaxis are between 0 and 2.5, but the auto scale goes up to 5, meaning half of the graph is blank. I know if I use the yAxisMaxValue='3' parameter, this would fix the issue, but the data is dynamic from the database, so this is not an option. Why would the scale go to 5? The msLine.swf is dated Nov 2010 and we a re a licensed user. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Hi Thanks for the reply - this fixes it!

Thanks for the response I am trying to print via pdf from a Javascript rendered version, not flash....... to make sure the pdf writer is ok THe sequence via a process on the server goes 1) create the HTML (Containing HTL and the javascript rendered chart) 2) call the pdf creator and give it the HTML page as a parameter 3) THe pdf creator then effectively loads the page in a browser and simulates a print The resulting HTML page is printed, but there is no chart on the page The pdf printer is from BCL Terchnologies, and is teh "easypdf SDK 6" Thanks for any help Mark

Hi We use a pdf generator to print an HTML page that contains a FusionCharts object. The object shows fine as either flash or Javascript based if the client loads the HTML page, and can print from this page no problem from within the browser When the pdf generator is used (server side) it is passed the HTML page - teh pdf is generated and the page prints, but the Chart is not shown (just the other HTML is shown) There are no errors, but the chart is missing I guess this is because when the page goes to print, the javascript has not yet completed, so the graph is not visible. Is there any way we can force the chart to complete without dynamic building, so that the chart is ready to go when the pdf generator is called? Thanks in advance Mark

I am also trying to change the value position for Bubble charts - is there any plan to allow this???

Further to this, I understand that you can associate labels with Bubbles on the actual chart. We often need a bubble chart to show a large number of Bubbles, some of which have the same X and Y values. Does the Bubble chart offer intelligent positioning of the labels so that they don't overlap and are unreadable. You do this for pie charts and wondered if there is an option to do this on labels for Bubbles Thanks in advance
