Request: Outliers To Be Off The Cavans

Recommended Posts

I would like to request the ability in fusioncharts to specify a min/max axis values that do *NOT* encompass all data sets, but rather draw the chart inside those values, and allow data to exist (perhaps with some manner of notation) outside the visible chart area. See this topic:

 

http://forum.fusioncharts.com/topic/11967-graphing-outliers-and-yaxismaxvalue/page__p__47024__hl__outlier__fromsearch__1#entry47024

 

The reason for this request is that statistical outliers can render the bulk of the chart unusable for visual inspection of the data. This is a common occurrence, for example, when monitoring the performance of a system whose values cluster around a certain range, but which occasionally spikes well outside of that range. Since fusioncharts automatically expands to encompass all data, the inclusion of the spikes expands the axis so much that it is impossible to distinguish any nuance in the bulk of the data. As a workaround, we can cap the values themselves, but that presents a misleading set of data to the user; it would be much better if FusionCharts could allow strict specification of the visual axis, draw the chart accordingly, allowing some data to fall off the visual area, preferable with some available attributes to specify display options relevant to those outliers.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your post.

 

We are keeping a note of it.

 

If feasible, we will add this feature to our wishlist.
