How to set categories apart in MSstackedBar3d.swf

[LiquidApe]

Ok, I have an interesting problem that I've been unable to resolve. Help would be much appreciated.

 

 

 

I was using MSstackedBar2d.swf to graph project datasets with spent budget/remaining budget. My datasets are very large, so I had to bundle certain projects together in order to show all the necessary data on the graph. I marked these projects with a dotted line around the bar, as well as a lighter alpha setting. Then, if the user clicks on a bundled project, the chart just shows the contents of the bundled project. Clicking on a non-dotted/non alpha project will drilldown to further data on the next set of charts. The problem with this setup is that some of my projects go into the millions of dollars, and others are in the 100's of dollars. The small projects were so small that it was impossible to click on them to drilldown to more information in other charts. So, I switched to MSstackedBar3d.swf. Now the bars are in 3d, so even if a project is very small, it can be clicked on. The problem is that I can't set my bundled projects to have dotted lines, so I can't set them apart. I tried changing the color, but the problem there is that it is not clear what the new colors mean, as they are not in the legend, and really the colors in the chart should be consistent, as the bundled projects are still showing spent/remaining.

 

 

 

I've tried a number of solutions such as glows or outlines, but it seems that you can not highlight individual elements with these features. Bar alpha does not make the selections stand out enough.

 

 

 

Is there any way that I can make certain elements stand out from others without changing the colors of the elements while using 3d stacked bars? I would be happy with highlighted category names or differentiating the bars in some way.

Hi,

 

 

 

I am afraid, this is not available as of now.

 

 

 

We would have this feature in our next major release v4.
