How to get proper width for candlesticks?

[kofkof]

Hello Fusioncharts team,

 

 

 

Good work with the charts, guys. Top quality!

 

I only have one problem with candlesticks widths when there are missing or empty <set>s in my dataset. Could you help me to fix it, please ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

XML :

 

<chart caption="Caption" PYAxisName="Price" VYAxisName="Volume">

 

<dataset>

 

<set x="3" open="4" high="5" low="3.5" close="4.5" volume="1000" />

 

<set x="19" open="4.2" high="6" low="4.5" close="5.5" volume="2000" />

 

<set x="20" open="4" high="5" low="3.5" close="4.5" volume="1000" />

 

<set x="23" open="4" high="5" low="3.5" close="4.5" volume="1000" />

 

<set x="39" open="4" high="5" low="3.5" close="4.5" volume="1000" />

 

<set x="40" open="4.1" high="6" low="4.5" close="5.5" volume="2000" />

 

</dataset>

 

</chart>

 

 

 

In this forum thread, you said :

 

the chart calculates width as per the known non-empty sets

I suggest that in future releases you allow for calculating widths based on the maximum x-value provided (40 in my XML).

 

 

 

Until then, is there a solution/tip/hack/anything I could use to make my candlestick not to overlap each other?

 

 

 

Thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

Dear User,

 

We are delighted to announce that PowerCharts is now ready for your iPads and iPhones too. We have just released PowerCharts v3.2. Starting v3.2, PowerCharts has HighCharts embedded within it, and offers both Flash and JavaScript (HTML5) charting . The Flash charts are displayed on a majority of devices and the JavaScript charts on devices that do not support Flash, all of it without writing a line of code.

 

Automatic rendering of JavaScript charts on devices (like iPad and iPhone) where Flash player is not supported.

 

5 new chart types:

 

Heat Map Chart

 

Box and Whisker Chart

 

Step Line Chart

 

Error Line Chart

 

Error Scatter Chart

 

 

* Support for JSON data format.

 

* Support for LinkedCharts, where a single data source controls multiple charts.

 

* Interactive legends in charts allow selective showing/hiding of data series.

 

* Legends now support icons for each data series.

 

* Better management of labels on charts.

 

* Labels now have an auto rendering mode to prevent them from overlapping, the chart selects the best display mode depending on the length of the labels and the width of the chart.

 

* Long labels are truncated, with ellipses appended to the truncated end of each label, and a tooltip bearing the completed label text is displayed when the user hovers over a truncated label.

 

* Support for line breaks and wrapping in all text elements including: caption, sub caption, X-axis title, Y-axis title, Labels and tooltips.

 

* In Line charts, data values can now be positioned either above or below the dataplots. Automatic positioning of data values is also supported.

 

* In Step-line charts dataplots can be joined using vertical lines.
