Line charts: some segments dashed?

[msherwoo]

I see power charts has a dashed="1" option that can be assigned as part of the <set> tag, but is it possible with FusionCharts 3.0?

thanks,

Hi,

please use Dashed='1' in SET element to show dashed line

Thanks. I will certainly try it. But perhaps you can clarify something.  Since the "dashed" property is set on a single datapoint, how does FusionCharts know if it should draw a dashed line up to that datapoint or from that point on?  I can see how a it makes sense on a column chart, where the individual column is shown with a dashed outline, but with a line chart it seems that the system would need two datapoints specified before it knows where the draw the dashed line. Or maybe it's a flag, that says "I am going to draw a dashed line until told differently"?

I realize trying it will answer this, but I want to understand the design behind it.  thanks,  Mike

hi,

The first value which is set to dashed will draw a line from that point (anchor) until the next value is reached..i.e. next anchor..showing the next value. Hence the the last value with a dashed='1' option is useless. Thats the trick.
