Update Fc Dynamically Per User Input

[SuperDelic]

Hello, all. I know I must be doing something wrong with syntax. What I have is a toolbar with buttons for various FusionCharts options, such as:

• 2-D or 3-D
• showSum
• caption
• subCaption
• legendPosition
• animation
• showPercentageValues
• canvasBgColor

et cetera, et cetera. However, I just can't seem to get the syntax correct to refresh the div with the Fusion chart (without refreshing entire page). In the example below, another function calls it with the following parms:

 

chartName=SWF file name w/out extension (e.g. StackedBar3D or MSColumn3D)

blnAnim=0 (false) or 1 (true)

blnShowSum=0 (false) or 1 (true)

xmlData=Data-only xml (no attributes)

 

function updateChart(chartName, blnAnim, blnShowSum) {

var chartReference = FusionCharts("chrtRptId");

 

chartReference.setChartAttribute("animation", blnAnim);

chartReference.setChartAttribute("showSum", blnShowSum);

chartReference.setChartAttribute("swfUrl", "../swf/" + chartName + ".swf");

chartReference.setXMLUrl(xmlData);

chartReference.render("chartdiv");

}

 

However, this current syntax only seems to reload the original chart. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi,

 

If you call render the chart will reload or if you set another chart type.

 

Please try calling only the two lines below and you wil see the difference.

 

chartReference.setChartAttribute("animation", blnAnim);

chartReference.setChartAttribute("showSum", blnShowSum);

 

 

Please note that setChartAttribute internally updates an existing chart which is also redrawing the chart, but the redrawing takes place pretty fast to get this traced visibly.
