Fixed Height Regardless Of Labels Length

[pitommasi]

Is it possible to prevent charts to get "squashed" when a label is too long?

In other words: can I define the height of the canvas, instead of the height of the whole swf?

 

The current situation, as you know, is that f I set the height of a chart at, let's say, 500px,

that is the height of the entire swf, meaning that a chart with longer labels will have a shorter canvas than one with short labels, right?

Is there a way to control this behaviour?

 

If you take a look to the attachment, you see that the chart on the left is shorter than the one on the right, because its labels are longer.

I want to avoid this difference

Note that the labels are not fixed, so there is no way to predict the space that thei will require.

 

Thanks

No one?

Since I now have a license, should I ask the commercial support?

Thanks

Hi,

 

Apologies for the delayed response.

 

As of now, you can not directly define the height of the canvas. However, you can define a maximum canvas margin for the chart using canvasBottomMargin which allows you to set the space between bottom of canvas and bottom of chart. Here, you would need to specify a safe value which would not be crossed by a label's height. If any of the label's height becomes more than this specific height, this value would be ignored.

Thanks for your note.

Back to the issue, basically, you are saying that, although I can set a margin, this might be overrided by fusioncharts if the label is too long...

Can I specify, then, a maximum length for slanted labels, exceeded which the labels are truncated with ellipses? Or should I take care of that with javascript?

Hi,

 

I am afraid, no.

[pitommasi]

So, i have to truncate the labels in the XML?

[FusionCharts Support]

The chart handles truncating of the labels to some extent, but you can not set a limit. Hence, yes.

ok, thanks
