Great idea for labels

[bubbler63]

Hi, I use FusionCharts v3 and it's great! Keep up the good work!

 

 

 

One thing I ran into today was the labels. I wanted to display both % value and value, so something like this:

 

 

 

Available (23K), 23%

 

Unavailable (76K), 76%

 

 

 

Currently, i just have the label be "Available ($number)" and it prints out that automatically. It would be great if you had a system like...

 

 

 

%p = percent value

 

%n = numeric value

 

 

 

so I can make the label... "Available (%n), %p"

 

or even something like... "%n Available, that's %p!!"

 

 

 

And you can add more %[x] things if you can think of it. %c for color, i guess. it would show a cube with the color in it or something.

Hi Bubbler,

 

 

 

It's an interesting concept, but I think it's more of a shortcut for something you could do already quite easily by hand. I don't think there should be too much of this kind of logic in FusionCharts itself - that's what you're using PHP/.Net/etc for.

 

 

 

With the tooltips you can pass in whatever you like as a string, so you could just prepare the string beforehand in your serverside code and get what you're after. I've done the following myself in the past:

 

 

 

 

output.AppendFormat("", HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(row["title"].ToString()), percent.ToString(), double.Parse(row["absolute"].ToString()));

 

 

 

 

This is leveraging the StringBuilder in .Net, of which "output" is an instance, but that's not important here. Note instead how the "toolText" attribute value is built out of both a percentage value (token 1), and the absolute value (token 2), separated with a hyphen.

 

 

 

This kind of thing will always be much more flexible in your application code, not the FusionCharts built-in logic.
