How do you determine which series is on top?

[Brian Maring]

I am using MSCombi2D.swf to make a chart with one area series and one column series. I talwways seems as thought the area series goes on top of the column series. Is there a way to reverse this?

 

 

 

Also, If I were to use two column series, would it be possible to have the two column for a particular category overlap instead of be side-by-side?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

Hello Brian,

 

 

 

To achieve this you would simply need to switch the serial order of the datasets in your XML, to reverse this effect of the area data plot going 'on top' of the column data plot.

 

 

 

Also, If I were to use two column series, would it be possible to have the two column for a particular category overlap instead of be side-by-side?

 

 

 

>>>In case you are talking about a "Stack" like effect using this chart, I'm afraid this would not be possible using FusionCharts, as of now.

How do you change serial order?

You do it like this...

Allow me to elaborate a little....

 

 

 

Here, in the XML below, by putting the dataset '2005' above the dataset '2006', you would be switching the serial order of the datasets. This is what I meant to convey in my last post.

 

 

 

<categories>

 

<category label='Jan' />

 

<category label='Feb' />

 

....

 

....

 

....

 

</categories>

 

 

 

<dataset seriesName='2006'>

 

<set value='27400' />

 

<set value='29800'/>

 

.....

 

.....

 

.....

 

</dataset>

 

 

 

<dataset seriesName='2005'>

 

<set value='10000'/>

 

<set value='11500'/>

 

.....

 

.....

 

.....

 

</dataset>

 

 

 

I hope this helps.
