Legend, Labels Chart Space Usage.

[JulioZenteno]

hey there Fusion charts users and devs.

 

i have a little problem, since i have an stacked chart that is generated with dinamic data, so its constantly changing its data. because of that, when there are too many Datasets on the chart the Legend starts to grown and start to shrink the chart make it unreadeable. i read that when the Legend has too many data sets an scrollbar but this seems to work only when the legend its on the right. same thing happend with the labels that use a lot of space. i cant use any property if they are "rotate" to shrink them and use less space on the SWF.

 

is there a way to force the chart to be bigger than the rest of the elements on the screen?

 

here is a picture of the chart so you have an idea of what im talking about.

 

thank you so much.

Hi,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts forum.

 

Yes, when legend has too may datasets, scroll bar would appear automatically.

 

Legend positioned to the bottom or right, scrollbar appears when datasets grows in size.

 

I'm afraid, FusionCharts doesn't force to render the chart bigger than the other elements.

 

To display a long label, any of the below could be used:

 

• Wrap mode
• Rotated and slanted mode
• Staggered mode with customizable staggered lines
• Every n-th label

By default, FusionCharts uses auto mode, the chart automatically chooses the most appropriate display mode for data labels - depending on availability of space.

 

Also, by setting <useEllipsesWhenOverflow='1' > attribute in the chart element, long labels would be truncated and ellipses would be added to the end.

 

I hope this helps.
