Anyways, my current beef is with the charting. I have a couple of SIMPLE bar charts, it generates just fine, not a big deal. However my client thinks that the labels would look sooo much nicer (along the X axis) if they were on an angle... Has anyone come across this? Is there a way to modify the CFR to handle this, or just the way that the chart is created? The CFR is not a human-readable format.
Would it be easier to create the chart in CF and save it as an image to insert into the CFR? That however seems like a ridiculous amount of work when Charts are built-in...
Thanks for any direction. If I come up with a solution, I will blog about it.
Cheers!
Have you dig into Modifying the chart style XML files? http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-74f2.html#WSf01dbd23413dda0e48175ee612010006140-8000
ReplyDeleteMaybe one of the settings there will satisfy your needs.
@Henry,
ReplyDeleteI guess I will take a look. I didn't think that the chart XML files would affect a CFR. I will see. (although a quick look at the docs does not show a x-axis text angle option)
Cheers,
Rob
You'd think the client would be more content with correct reporting than slanted labels ;-) Anyhow, customer is king, so slanted labels it is then. Ray Camden has done a lot of digging into the XML of CF-charts, so you'd might consider searching his blog.
