Legend Color Swatch Size

[boywithk9]

I just noticed that some of the official chart examples on fushioncharts.com have much larger color swatches in the legend than other charts. Here are two examples of large swatches:

And here are charts whose legend displays small swatches:

Anyone know how I can make my swatches bigger? I read in the documentation that the following is supposed to do it, but for me it only changes the text, not the swatch.

I'm having this problem too. All I get is small black boxes for the swatches, no matter what the color specified for the data is, whether using FireFox on Mac or IE6 on Win/XP.

 

 

 

I tried the legendBorderAlpha and legendBorderThickness, but they only seem to affect the border around the entire legend.

Hi,

Could you please provide us your xml and FusionCharts swf file name and version of the chart?

[FusionCharts Support]

Hi,

If you have specified color of the dataset with a # please remove the #

You must provide color like this:

color='ff0000'

and not color='#ff0000'

Hi! I emailed Arindam with details, he suggested removing the '#' and that worked great! The swatches are still smaller than I'd like, but at least they're the right colors. Yay Fusioncharts Support!

The original question was not answered though. Can somone please tell me how to make the legend boxes bigger along with some other custom styling? I have a list of fields, which are shown below, but are there any more? I have seen custom legends that are not possible with only using the fields below.

 

 

 

showLegend

 

legendCaption

 

legendPosition

 

legendBgColor

 

legendBgAlpha

 

legendBorderColor

 

legendBorderThickness

 

legendBorderAlpha

 

legendShadow

 

legendAllowDrag

 

legendScrollBgColor

 

legendScrollBarColor

 

legendScrollBtnColor

 

 

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi,

I am afraid legend boxes does not make bigger as of now?

Currently, if you need to make the legend swatch bigger, the only option is to increase the font size of legend (using STYLE).
