chart

An HTML content command that draws a chart based on a Chart Data value.


In case the Chart Data doesn't contain all the needed information to render the chart, such as axis specifications, the chart-drawing process tries to fill in certain missing details so that the chart can be rendered. Here are some of them:

  • If no color has been specified for a series or a data point, a set of default colors is used to give each series or data point a different color.

  • If the chart type is such that is requires axes and the Chart data does not specify an X-axis (an axis with its position either being "top" or "bottom"), a default category axis is used that will appear at the bottom. If default category labels have been provided by the data point -creating commands, this axis will display those labels.

  • If the chart type is such that is requires axes and the Chart data does not specify an Y-axis (an axis with its position either being "left" or "right"), a default linear axis is used that will appear on the left. This axis has its minimum and maximum values derived from the data point values of the chart.

If the Chart Data contains contradictory or otherwise invalid specifications, the resulting chart will not be rendered properly.  

Attributes

data

Required

Value type

EL-evaluated

Yes

Chart Data

Yes

Defines the data based on which the chart is drawn.

height

Required

Value type

EL-evaluated

No

Number

Yes

Defines the height of the element displaying the chart in pixels.

If this attribute is undefined, but width is defined, the element's height is set to the same value as width. If neither is defined, the chart area will be sized based on the dimensions of its parent HTML element.

width

Required

Value type

EL-evaluated

No

Number

Yes

Defines the width of the element displaying the chart in pixels.

If this attribute is undefined, but height is defined, the element's width is set to the same value as height. If neither is defined, the chart area will be sized based on the dimensions of its parent HTML element.

display-series-legend

Required

Value type

EL-evaluated

No

Boolean

Yes

Defines if a legend displaying the labels of the series or data points in the chart is displayed. If the resolved value is false, the legend is not displayed. The legend takes space in the chart area, so hiding the legend allows the chart itself to have more of the space - this is particularly notable if the chart area is particularly small.

If not defined, the legend is displayed.
