How to insert line breaks on displayValue attribute of line (trendline)

[Dan]

I have a rather long displayValue for a horizontal trend line. Is there a way to insert a line break?

For example:

<line startValue='1' valueOnRight='1' displayValue='This is line 1. I want this on line 2.' />

[Pallav]

You can use the same concept as explained at http://www.fusioncharts.com/FusionCharts/Docs/Contents/TTip_Lines.html

Thank Pallev, but I already tried that. Does not render the <BR> as HTML.

I did creat the style definition from the demo code and applied it to both TRENDLINES and TRENDVALUES with no luck.

[Pallav]

Please try this. It works for us here:

<trendlines>
  <line startValue='1' valueOnRight='1' displayValue='This is line 1. <BR>I want this on line 2.' />
 </trendlines>
 <styles>
  <definition>
	 <style name='myHTMLFont' type='font' isHTML='1' />
  </definition>
  <application>
	 <apply toObject='TRENDVALUES' styles='myHTMLFont' />
  </application>
  </styles>

Simply does not work. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I am using a scatter chart (scatter.swf)?

[Pallav]

Can you please send your XML file as attachment?

[Dan]

Here is a sample xml document.

dataxml.txt

I've just tried a multi-line tooltext, and that doesn't work either. There are no examples of such in the galleries, so there's no working example to learn from. I get "invalid XML" if I try to insert <BR>

 

 

 

Here's a snippet from the XML:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Removal of <br> fixes it up.

[Scott K]

Well, let's try inserting the code again ;-)

 

 

 

[Scott K]

Okay, so the code / code thing doesn't work (or at least not as I expected). So here's the offending line with the brackets removed:

 

 

 

set value='1.8' toolText='11.2s, <br>1.8MPH, 3526.0RPM, 95.3%25'

[Pallav]

Against which chart are you using this XML code?

You need to use dataURL method and specify the code as:

<br>

[Scott K]

I'm using the dataXML method. Why would that make a difference?

[Pallav]

If you're using the dataXML method, there would be a conflict between the < specified in the XML, the actual XML element lt opening sign and the HTML lt sign to embed the chart.

So, you need to use this in dataURL method.

[BAMACSGUY]

If you want to use the dataXML method, I found that you need to URL encode the ampersand( & ) :

%26lt;br%26gt;

instead of:

<br>

It works for me, but I know that FusionCharts also does not like the '%' operator in the XML, so you may still receive an 'Invalid XML Data' error with this method. I just know it worked for me. I'm using C# with ASP.NET 2.0 and I'm randomly generating my XML as strings in the Code-Behind before I push out to the client.

Hope this helps...

TO use % in dataXML method, encode it as %25

[BAMACSGUY]

Ok, now I understand. I did not require the use of the '%' character for the code I mentioned. To use the '%' the way you are referring, Pallav, yes that is how I would need to use it. However, the '%' character in the code I provided above is used to encode the '&' character where by '&' --> %26.

This allowed me to use the above method to put HTML in my trendlines using the dataXML method and not the dataURL method.

I have tried to replicate this but have been unsuccessful.

I am using FusionMaps, and have included the following XML (using dataURL method):

<styles>

 <definition>

<style name="myHTMLFont" type="font" isHTML="1" />

 </definition>

 <application>

<apply toObject="TOOLTIP" styles="myHTMLFont" />

 </application>

</styles>

Map entities have toolText="line one <br> line two"

...but line breaks do not render.  They are being parsed, however, because my toolTip renders as "line one line two", without the <br> tag (which does display if I set isHTML="0").

toolText="<b> bold text </b>" correctly renders as bold text.  <p> and <br> tags, however, do not produce any effect.

Help!
