Drag Node Chart: Highlighting certain nodes

Recommended Posts

My final question for today.

 

 

 

The system we've created allows for documents and links to be attached to a node via our HTML interface.

 

We have it setup so when you click a node the links are displayed in a side bar via some AJAX methods.

 

 

 

Our client would really like to highlight the nodes that have attachments on the Fusion Charts object.

 

 

 

Is there any way we can highlight a specific node on the chart, either via the XML loaded to display the chart or other means. By highlighting I mean use one of the animation effects in the documentation, change the font style, or even just change the border for an individual node?

 

 

 

Most of our nodes are the default shapes, with some been image nodes, although I could live with a solution that only worked on the shape nodes if thats all that possible.

 

 

 

I look forward to the response, and hope its different to the one I've had to give the clients up until this point.

 

 

 

Thanks

I'm afraid you cannot highlight a particular node directly from JavaScript API. In that case, you'll have to update the entire chart XML and set a different color for that node in XML.

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear.

 

 

 

It doesn't have to be via the javascript API, changes in the XML are fine. However, it needs to be something more than changing the node color, as we have various colors for various purposes and this highlight should be in addition to the color.

 

 

 

For example can I apply a shadow setting to just one node? I've experienced with this and it seems to be an all or nothing setting, but I'm hoping you can tell me otherwise.

 

 

 

Thanks
