Arbitrary Labels On X-Axis?

[alizarin]

I have a chart here - It's a line graph plotting integers vs dates. I've used the showLabel attribute of the set tag to only display the first day of the month on the x-axis.

 

What I'd LIKE to do is instead of showing dates on the x-axis: "1/2/2009, 2/2/2009, 3/2/2009" is show just the month name: January, February, March while still showing all those per-day data points (not just having 3 data points - one for each month).

 

I don't think the "labelStep" attribute of the chart tag would help here.

 

Is there a way I'm missing to display a different value on the axis than what shows up on the tooltip/chart? Or any other way to do what I'm trying to do?

Hi Andy,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum!

 

I am afraid, this is natively not possible with FusionCharts, as of now.

 

As a work-around, you can try providing blank <set> elements for the first few data-plots and a <set> element with a label somewhere midway in the month to get the label displayed in the middle of the month.

 

Hope this helps.
