cfchart Problem

[steve0331@hotmail.com]

I am having a problem displaying all of the itemColumn values when I use the
cfchart function. I am retreiving 10 records with a query, however on 5 of the
itemColumn values are displaying. All 10 of the valuecolumns are displaying
and only everyother itemColumn value.

Here is a sample of my code:

<cfchart chartheight="315" chartwidth="415" show3D = "yes"
foregroundcolor="##3300FF" backgroundcolor="##C0C099"
xAxisTitle="Donation Dates" yAxisTitle="Cholesterol
Levels">
<cfchartseries type="bar" query="cholesterol" itemColumn="visit"
valuecolumn="cholesterol" seriescolor="##990000">
</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>

I had this same problem with a chart I was working on. My issue turned out to
be that the graph thought the labels were overlapping and because of that,
didn't display many of them.

If you are using 7, you can change the overlap from the default. I believe
the only way to do this is to use a style and then edit the .xml file for that
style.

ie. in your cfchart tag put:

<cfchart style="silver">

then modify your C:\CFROOT\charting\styles\silver.xml file to:


<xAxis>
<labelStyle isHideOverlapped="false" orientation="horizontal" />
<titleStyle font="Arial-12-bold" isMultiline="false" />
</xAxis>


This will also apply all other aspects of the 'silver' theme. You can also
make your own style and do this.

Thanks for that tip. It worked, and I got the results that I wanted.
