Cannot identify graph

[romsok]

Hi,

 

 

 

In the charts gallery there are two simple 2D column charts - one with plane 2D columns and the other one also 2D but the columns look somewhat 3D like.

 

 

 

I cannot figure out how to give my 2D charts that 3D like effect.

 

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

I have to admit I was a bit confused reading your post here! But then it came to me.

Could you please use useRoundEdges='1' in your <chart> element for this and see if the 2D chart gives off a 3D feel?

I hope this helps. Please share your feedback with us on this Forum!

Hi,

Could you please send us the XML codes that you are using as an attachment?

Awaiting your reply. :hehe:

Hello,

Could you please try using the plotGradientColor attribute in the <chart> element and see if this helps?

Looking forward to your reply.

I am embedding the chart using JavaScript and one thing I noted is that inserts an "embed" tag, but doesn't close it.

Here is the complete graph XML.

 

 

 

 width="300"
flashvars="debugMode=0&chartWidth=300&chartHeight=240&DOMId=myChart&registerWithJS=0&scaleMode=noScale〈=EN&dataXML=<chart useRoundEdges='3' showBorder='0' decimalPrecision='0' caption='Total Sent' showValues='0' bgColor='FFFFFF,FFFFFF'><set label='Label 1' value='4851' showName='0' /><set label='Label 2' value='5000' showName='0' /><set label='Label 3' value='12000' showName='0' /></chart>" 
allowscriptaccess="always" 
quality="high" 
name="myChart" 
id="myChart" 
src="../Charts/Column2D.swf" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

 

 

Is it possible that I am supposed to use "Bevel" style on the graph to give it the look I mentioned in the first post?

I looked over the documentation for bevel and it says I am supposed to define style using XML, but I don't know where I should do that? In the XML I pass to the graph? On my page?

Hello,

I'm afraid, we did not receive the image. Would it be possible for you to attach it?

If you want to show bevel effect on your chart you need to use the styles element in your XML.

I hope this helps you.

so supposedly my adding the following to my chart was supposed to give the exact look I wanted (glass fill and rounded edges):

 

''

 

 

 

but it didn't work - I do get the graphs, but only plain 2D column, no glass fill and no rounded endges

Hello,

Could you please attach the images as well as the XMLs?

In the XML you pasted, you have set useRoundEdges='3'. Could you please consider setting it to 1.

We set it to 1 in your XML, and it is working fine. Please refer to attached screen-shot.

Also, please confirm which version of FusionCharts you are using.

You can use the debug window to get the version number.

Awaiting your reply eagerly.

1. I did initially use useRoundEdges="1", decided to try 3 to see if it has any effect. Now reverted back.

 

2. I am using version 3.0.1

 

3. Attaching image

I downloaded the newest code and dropped the column2d flash file into my application's "Charts" directory, but is it enough? - do I have to copy other parts of the package, like images, javascript or something else into my application?

[romsok]

OK,

 

 

 

It looks like the problem is with browsers on my machine - other people connecting remotely to my serveer are getting the look and feel I want. This odd considering I downloaded and istalled the latest flash player last week.

[Guest Madhumita]

Hello,

Could you please sprcify the graphics configuration of your machine.

[romsok]

the issue was resolved.

 

Rookie mistakes. I had to obtain a download of licensed 3.1 charts - mine were 3.0.

 

After getting that from sales support, and clearing my browser cache everything worked as it should have.

Hey Romsok,

That's great news!  

Happy FusionCharting.
