Random text on charts

[maria]

Hi all --

 

 

 

is there anyway to annotate graphs by placing arbitrary text at arbitrary locations on top of the chart?

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Maria,

In case you wish to display any images/text on top of the chart, please try setting the transparency of the chart div to true.

Ref.- <div id="chartdiv" align="center">The chart will appear within this DIV. This text will be replaced by the chart.</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

var myChart = new FusionCharts("../FusionCharts/Column3D.swf", "myChartId", "900", "300", "0", "0");

myChart.setDataURL("Data.xml");

myChart.setTransparent(true);

myChart.render("chartdiv");

</script>

</div>

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

 

 

Thanks for your response.

 

However, I am not using javascript. Instead, I have something like

 

 

 

echo renderChartHTML("FusionCharts/Charts/Line.swf", "", $strXML, "totalConsumption", 700, 300, false, false);

 

 

 

because I have generated the XML separately.

 

 

 

So how would I go about specifying this property in the XML?

 

 

 

Thanks again.

 

 

 

Best,

Hi Maria,

I am afraid, FusionCharts does not support this.

Hi Maria,

In PHP, for transparent chart, you would have to change the call to the constructor as follows:

echo renderChartHTML("FusionCharts/Charts/Line.swf", "", $strXML, "totalConsumption", 700, 300, false, false,true);

Then, you place the text in another div in such a way that it comes on top of the chart.

If the text is still not visible, in the xml, please set bgAlpha='0'.

Hope this helps
