X and Y offset do not work for Pie charts in CFChart
X and Y offset do not work for 3D pie charts. This is needed to tweek the
appearance (mainly thickness) to my boss' satisfaction. I've reported this
before but, here, I am posting code that demonstrates the problem. Run the
attached template. You will see the aspect ratio changing for the various
plot types. But, there is no change for pie chart.

<!--- Gin up some test data, the datasourceless way.
Note that preferred method, pure SQL, will not work without a valid
datasource. Q of Q requires a "from" statement.
--->
<cfscript>
qGraphData = QueryNew ("FoodItem,Qty", "VarChar,Integer");
QueryAddRow (qGraphData, 3);
QuerySetCell (qGraphData, "FoodItem", "Apples", 1);
QuerySetCell (qGraphData, "FoodItem", "Bananas", 2);
QuerySetCell (qGraphData, "FoodItem", "Coconuts", 3);
QuerySetCell (qGraphData, "Qty", 10, 1);
QuerySetCell (qGraphData, "Qty", 20, 2);
QuerySetCell (qGraphData, "Qty", 30, 3);
</cfscript>
<!--- Custom local Plot function --->
<cffunction name="LclPlotFunction" output="true">
<cfargument name="fXandY_Offset" type="numeric" required="yes">
<cfargument name="sPlotType" type="string" required="no"
default="pie">
<cfchart
format = "png"
chartheight = "150"
chartwidth = "150"
show3d = "yes"
xoffset = "#fXandY_Offset#"
yoffset = "#fXandY_Offset#" <!--- There are documentation
errors here. Negative values have no effect and docs refer to "left" and
"right". --->
showlegend = "no"
showmarkers = "no"
showYGridlines = "no"
pieslicestyle = "solid"<cfchartseries>
type = "#sPlotType#"
query = "qGraphData"
itemcolumn = "FoodItem"
valuecolumn = "Qty"
dataLabelStyle = "none"</cfchart>>
</cffunction>
<body>
<!--- Now plot a couple of styles at various offsets. See how pie chart
offset does not work. --->
<h1> Notice how chart offset works for some types but not pie chart. </h1>
<cfset sChartStyleList = "bar,line,pie,cone">
<cfloop index="sChartStyle" list="#sChartStyleList#">
<p>
<cfloop index="fOffset" from="-1.0" to="1.0" step="0.4">
<cfset LclPlotFunction (fOffset, sChartStyle)>
</cfloop>

prayank #3 Re: X and Y offset do not work for Pie charts in CFChart
Hi Miker
We are still looking into your suggestion. Please note that this is not a bug,
we do not support offsets for 3d Pie charts. This is an enhancement, which we
would be very pleased to incorporate in our cfcharts though. For this purpose,
it would be very helpful to us if you could point to some sample graphs that
display the offset property that you are talking about in 3d pie charts.
Regards
Prayank

MikerRoo #4 Re: X and Y offset do not work for Pie charts in CFChart
If this is not supported, it should be documented that way (It's either a bug
or a documentation oversight). This is not worth a feature request.
Better to fix the other bugs or design limits with CFCharts. You cannot see
any of my sites, they are behind our firewall. Run the code I attached. See
how the aspect ratio changes for some types? I don't see why this is so hard
to grasp. The current 3d pie charts have an offset (think aspect ratio).
It's just fixed. You can see a mockup of what changing offsets should do here:

Thanks, Prayank. I would now rate this a low priority (as long as it's
documented that it's not supported). I would much rather see Macromedia
provide support for all the styles in the WebCharts 3D designer -- especially
the statistical styles. Thanks, -- MikeR

I have an issue with CF Chart where when I click on a bar to drill down to a more detailed graph and error is thown. This works in CFMX 6.1 but not in CF7. I'll post the error msg.
