DEVELOPING COLDFUSION 9 APPLICATIONS 993 Working with Documents, Charts, and Reports Chart characteristic Attributes used Labels font fontSize fontBold frontItalic labelFormat xAxisTitle yAxisTitle Border Grid lines showBorder showXGridlines showYGridlines gridLines Slice style Markers pieSliceStyle showMarkers markerSize Description Chart type The font attribute specifies the font for all text. The default value All is Arial. If you are using a double-byte character set on UNIX, or using a double-byte character set in Windows with a file type of Flash, specify ArialUnicodeMs as the font. Note: If a chart attempts to use a font that is not installed on the ColdFusion server, it uses a different font that is available. Also, if you do not specify the font, characters that are not ASCII, such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and so on, can display improperly. The fontSize specifies an Integer font size used for all text. The default value is 11. The fontBold attribute specifies to display all text as bold. The default value is no. The fontItalic attribute specifies to display all text as italic. The default value is no. The labelFormat attribute specifies the format of the y-axis labels, number, currency, percent, or date. The default value is number. The xAxisTitle and yAxisTitle attributes specify the title for each axis. Use the showBorder attribute to draw a border around the chart. All The foregroundColor attribute specifies the border color. The default value is no. Use the showXGridlines and showYGridlines attributes to display x-axis and y-axis grid lines. The default value no for x-axis gridlines, and yes for y-axis gridlines. The gridLines attribute specifies the total number of grid lines on the value axis, including the axis itself. The value of each grid line appears along the value axis. The cfchart tag displays horizontal grid lines only. The default value is 0, which means no grid lines. Area Bar Cone Curve Cylinder Horizontalbar Line Pyramid Scatter Step Displays the pie chart as solid or sliced. The default value is Pie sliced. The showMarkers attribute displays markers at the data points All for two-dimensional line, curve, and scatter charts. The default value is yes. The markerSize attribute specifies an integer number of pixels for the marker size. ColdFusion determines the default value. Last updated 1/20/2012
