The following sections provide a list of available advanced attributes available for controlling and customizing 2D Bar chart elements.
NoteThis article contains documentation for advanced attributes which are third-party customizations that must be manually entered into the chart wizard. These articles were converted directly from the documentation provided by this third-party source. Not every attribute listed may be supported in Exago BI as some unexpected conflicts may occur in their integration within the application.
Functional Attributes
These attributes let you control a variety of functional elements on the chart. For example, you can opt to show or hide data labels, data values. You can also set chart limits and extended properties.
| Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| animation | True/False | 0/1 | This attribute lets you set the configuration whether the chart should appear in an animated fashion. If you do not want to animate any part of the chart, set this as 0. |
| animationDuration | Number | In seconds | This attribute sets the animation duration of the chart. `animationDuration` attribute is applicable only if animation of the chart is enabled. Default value: 1 sec |
| palette | Number | 1-5 | Each chart has 5 pre-defined color palettes which you can choose from. Each palette renders the chart in a different color theme. |
| paletteColors | Text | List of hex color codes separated by comma | While the `palette` attribute allows to select a palette theme that applies to chart background, canvas, font and tool-tips, it does not change the colors of data items (that is, column, line, pie etc.). Using `paletteColors` attribute, you can specify your custom list of hex colors for the data items. The list of colors have to be separated by comma, for example, `"paletteColors": "#FF0000, #0372AB, #FF5904..."`. The chart will cycle through the list of specified colors and then render the data plot accordingly. To use the same set of colors throughout all your charts in a web application, you can store the list of palette colors in your application globally and then provide the same in each chart JSON. |
| connectNullData | True/False | 0/1 | This attribute lets you control whether empty data sets in your data will be connected to each other OR do they appear as broken data sets. |
| showLabels | True/False | 0/1 | It sets the configuration whether the x-axis labels will be displayed or not. |
| maxLabelHeight | Number | In Pixels | This attribute can be used to set the maximum height for the x-axis labels (data labels) excluding the x-axis title. If any label goes beyond this height, the label will be truncated. In stagger mode, the number of stagger lines will be reduced if they exceed this value. |
| labelDisplay | Text | 'AUTO', 'WRAP', 'STAGGER', 'ROTATE', 'NONE' | Using this attribute, you can customize the alignment of data labels (x-axis labels). There are 5 options: AUTO, WRAP, STAGGER, ROTATE or NONE. By default, this attribute is set to AUTO mode which means that the alignment of the data labels is determined automatically depending on the size of the chart. WRAP wraps the label text if it is too long to fit in one line. ROTATE rotates the labels vertically. STAGGER divides the labels into multiple lines. |
| useEllipsesWhenOverflow | True/False | 0/1 | When enabled in AUTO mode, long data labels are truncated by adding ellipses to prevent them from overflowing the chart background. The default value is 1. |
| rotateLabels | True/False | 0/1 | This attribute lets you set whether the data labels would show up as rotated labels on the chart. |
| slantLabels | True/False | 0/1 | If you have opted to show rotated labels on chart, this attribute lets you set the configuration whether the labels would show as slanted labels or fully vertical ones. |
| labelStep | Number | 1 or above | By default, all the labels are displayed on the chart. However, if you have a set of streaming data (like name of months or days of week), you can opt to show every n-th label for better clarity. This attributes just lets you do so. It allows to display every n(th) x-axis label. |
| staggerLines | Number | 2 or above | If you have opted for STAGGER mode as `labelDisplay`, using this attribute you can control how many lines to stagger the label to. By default, all labels are displayed in a single line. |
| showValues | True/False | 0/1 | Sets the configuration whether data values would be displayed along with the data plot on chart. |
| valuePosition | Text | "ABOVE", "BELOW", "AUTO" | If you've opted to show data values on the chart, this attribute lets you adjust the vertical alignment of data values with respect to dataplots. By default, this attribute is set to AUTO mode in which the alignment of each data value is determined automatically based on the position of each plot point. In ABOVE mode, data values are displayed above the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the upper edge of the canvas while in BELOW mode, data values are displayed below the plot points unless a plot point is too close to the lower edge of the canvas. |
| rotateValues | True/False | 0/1 | If you have opted to show data values, you can rotate them using this attribute. |
| showLimits | True/False | 0/1 | Whether to show chart limit values. If not specified `showYAxisValues` overrides this attribute. |
| showDivLineValues | True/False | 0/1 | Whether to show div line values. If not specified `showYAxisValues` overrides this attribute. |
| adjustDiv | True/False | 0/1 | The chart automatically tries to adjust divisional lines and limit values based on the data provided. However, if you want to set your explicit lower and upper limit values and number of divisional lines, first set this attribute to false. That would disable automatic adjustment of divisional lines. |
| clickURL | Text | Any | The entire chart can now act as a hotspot. Use this URL to define the hotspot link for the chart. The link can be specified in Exago Link Format. |
| clickURLOverridesPlotLinks | True/False | 0/1 | Sets whether the `clickURL` attribute (that sets a link to which the user is directed when the chart is clicked) overrides the `link` attribute (that sets a link to which the user is directed when a data plot is clicked). Default value: 0 (`clickURL` does not override `link`) |
| showZeroPlaneValue | True/False | 0/1 | Allows you to show or hide the value of the zero plane. |
| showPrintMenuItem | True/False | 0/1 | When you right click on the chart it shows a context menu. This attribute allows you to show or hide the "Print" option in the context menu. |
| unescapeLinks | True/False | 0/1 | Internally the chart decodes a Url that you set as link. Before invoking the link it again encodes the Url. If you are passing multilingual characters via a Url or do not want this decode-encode mechanism to be handled by chart you can set,`unescapeLinks='0'`. |
| setAdaptiveYMin | True/False | 0/1 | This attribute lets you set whether the y-axis lower limit would be 0 (in case of all positive values on chart) or should the y-axis lower limit adapt itself to a different figure based on values provided to the chart. |
| hasRTLText | Number | Any | This attribute, when set to `1`, indicates to the chart that the text (rendered on the chart) may contain RTL characters and the textual display has to be managed accordingly. |
| theme | Text | 'fusion', 'gammel', 'candy', 'ocean', 'zune', 'carbon', 'umber' | This attribute changes the theme of the chart. There are 7 types of themes which have been made according to the different color combinations. |
| minimizeTendency | True/False | 0/1 | This attribute, when set to `1`, draws splines with a low tendency factor. This is required when splines are used to connect multiple data points having the same value. While the traditional spline is perfect mathematically and by definition, the low tendency factor spline is not. |

Divisional Lines & Grids
Using this set of attributes, you can control the properties of divisional lines, zero plane and alternate color bands. Divisional Lines are horizontal or vertical lines running through the canvas. Each divisional line signifies a smaller unit of the entire axis thus aiding the users in interpreting the chart. The zero plane is a 2D plane that signifies the 0 position on the chart. If there are no negative numbers on the chart, you won't see a visible zero plane. Alternate color bands are colored blocks between two successive divisional lines.

Number Formatting
PowerCharts XT offers you a lot of options to format your numbers on the chart. Using the attributes below, you can control a myriad of options like: Formatting of commas and decimals Number prefixes and suffixes Decimal places to which the numbers would round to Scaling of numbers based on a user defined scale Custom number input formats
| Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| formatNumber | True/False | 0/1 | This configuration determines whether the numbers displayed on the chart will be formatted using commas, for example, 40,000 if 'formatNumber': '1'; and 40000 if 'formatNumber': '0';. |
| formatNumberScale | True/False | 0/1 | Configuration whether to add K (thousands) and M (millions) to a number after truncating and rounding it - for example, if `formatNumberScale` is set to 1, 1043 would become 1.04K (with decimals set to 2 places). Same with numbers in millions - an M will be added at the end. |
| defaultNumberScale | Text | Any | The default unit of the numbers that you are providing to the chart. |
| numberScaleUnit | Text | Any | Unit of each block of the scale. |
| numberScaleValue | Text | Any | Range of the various blocks that constitute the scale. |

This attribute works only when `“formatNumberScale”: “1”` and the `defaultNumberScale` attribute is not defined. For example, if `“numberScaleUnit”: “K, M”`, `“numberScaleValue”: “1000, 1000”`, and `“forceNumberScale”: “1”`, a data value of `400` will be rendered as `0.40K`. |

| inDecimalSeparator | Text | Character | In some countries, commas are used as decimal separators and dots as thousand separators. In XML, if you specify such values, it will give an error while converting to number. So, the chart accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can convert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the decimal separator. |
| inThousandSeparator | Text | Character | In some countries, commas are used as decimal separators and dots as thousand separators. In XML, if you specify such values, it will give an error while converting to number. So, the chart accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can convert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the thousand separator. |
| decimals | Number | 0-10 | Number of decimal places to which all numbers on the chart would be rounded to. |

Chart Padding & Margins
The following attributes help you control chart margins and paddings. PowerCharts XT allows you manually customize the padding of various elements on the chart to allow advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. Padding in PowerCharts XT is always defined in pixels, until the attribute itself suggests some other scale (like `plotSpacePercent`, which configures the spacing using percentage values). You can also define the chart margins. Chart Margins refer to the empty space left on the top, bottom, left and right of the chart. That means, PowerCharts XT would not plot anything in that space. It is not necessary for you to specify any padding or margin values. Exago automatically assumes the best values for the same, if you do not specify the same.
| Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| canvasPadding | Number | In Pixels | Lets you set the space between the canvas border and first & last data points |
| canvasLeftPadding | Number | In Pixels | This attribute lets you set the space between the left of the canvas border and the canvas of the chart.

| valuePadding | Number | In Pixels | It sets the vertical space between the end of columns and start of value textboxes. This basically helps you control the space you want between your columns or anchors and the value textboxes. |
| chartLeftMargin | Number | In Pixels | Amount of empty space that you want to put on the left side of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space. |
| chartRightMargin | Number | In Pixels | Amount of empty space that you want to put on the right side of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space. |
| chartTopMargin | Number | In Pixels | Amount of empty space that you want to put on the top of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space. |
| chartBottomMargin | Number | In Pixels | Amount of empty space that you want to put at the bottom of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space. |
| canvasLeftMargin | Number | In Pixels | This attribute lets you control the space between the start of chart canvas and the start (x) of chart. In case of 2D charts, the canvas is the visible rectangular box. Using this attribute, you can control the amount of empty space between the chart left side and canvas left side. By default, PowerCharts XT automatically calculates this space depending on the elements to be placed on the chart. However, if you want to over-ride this value with a higher value, you can use this attribute to specify the same. Please note that you cannot specify a margin lower than what has been calculated by the chart. This attribute is particularly useful, when you have multiple charts placed in a page and want all their canvas start position to align with each other - so in such a case, you can set same margin value (a value large enough that it does not get rejected by chart owing to it being lower than the calculated value) for all such charts in the page. |
| canvasRightMargin | Number | In Pixels | Like `canvasLeftMargin`, this attribute lets you set the space between end of canvas and end of chart. |
| canvasTopMargin | Number | In Pixels | Like `canvasLeftMargin`, this attribute lets you set the space between top of canvas and top of chart. |
| canvasBottomMargin | Number | In Pixels | Like `canvasLeftMargin`, this attribute lets you set the space between bottom of canvas and bottom of chart. |
The data Object
In single-series charts, each instance of the `data` object represents a data value to be plotted on the chart. For a single-series chart, one instance of the `data` object looks as shown in the example below:
"data"[{
"label": "Jan",
"value": "10000"
}]
Attributes of the `data` object are used to set and configure the data values for the chart.
| Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| label | Text | Any | This attribute determines the label for the data item. The label appears on the x-axis of chart. Note: The `label` attribute replaces the `name` attribute. Previously, either one of the attributes could be used to set the label. Support for the `name` attribute has been discontinued since v3.10.0. |
| value | Number | Any | Numerical value for the data item. This value would be plotted on the chart. |
| valuePosition | Text | "ABOVE", "BELOW", "AUTO" | If you've opted to show a particular data value on the chart, this attribute lets you adjust the vertical alignment of individual data values with respect to dataplots. By default, this attribute is set to AUTO mode in which the alignment of a data value is determined automatically based on the position of its plot point. In ABOVE mode, a data value is displayed above the plot point unless a plot point is too close to the upper edge of the canvas while in BELOW mode, a data value is displayed below the plot point unless a plot point is too close to the lower edge of the canvas. |
| displayValue | Text | If instead of the numerical value of this data, you wish to display a custom string value, you can specify the same here. Examples are annotation for a data item etc. | |
| link | Text | Any | You can define links for individual data items. That enables the end user to click on data items (columns, lines, bars etc.) and drill down to other pages. To define the link for data items, use the link attribute. You can define links that open in same window, new window, pop-up window or frames. Please see Advanced Charting > Drill Down Charts for more information. Also, you'll need to URL Encode all the special characters (like ? and &) present in the link. |
| toolText | Text | Any | By default, PowerCharts XT shows the data item name and value as tool tip text for that data item. But, if you want to display more information for the data item as tool tip, you can use this attribute to specify the same. |
| showLabel | True/False | 0/1 | You can individually opt to show or hide labels of individual data items using this attribute. |
| showValue | True/False | 0/1 | You can individually opt to show or hide values of individual data items using this attribute. |

Using `anchorSides` attribute, you can specify the no. of sides for anchors. `Note : If the anchors are of circular shape, this attribute won't be applied on it.` |
Vertical Data Separator Lines
Vertical data separator lines help you separate data blocks. These lines run through the height of the chart, thereby segregating the data into two different blocks. Vertical lines are defined as shown in the example below:
"data": [{
"label": "Grade 1",
},
{
"vLine": "true",
"label": "Appraisal"
}]
}]
You can configure the cosmetics of vertical separator lines using the following attributes:
| Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| vLine | Text | Any | Set this attribute to `true` to render a vertical data separator line. |
| color | Color | Hex Color Code | This attribute defines the color of vertical separator line |
| thickness | Number | In Pixels | Thickness in pixels of the vertical separator line. |
| alpha | Number | 0 - 100 | Alpha of the vertical separator line. |
| dashed | True/False | 0/1 | Whether the vertical separator line should be rendered as dashed lines. Default value: 0 (vertical separator line rendered using straight lines) |
| dashLen | Number | In pixels | Sets the width of each dash when vertical separator line is rendered as dashed lines. |
| dashGap | Number | In pixels | Sets the gap between consecutive dashes when vertical separator line is rendered as dashed lines. |
| label | Text | Label for the vertical separator line, if to be shown. Note: The `label` attribute replaces the `name` attribute. Previously, either one of the attributes could be used to set the label. Support for the `name` attribute has been discontinued since v3.10.0. |
|
| showLabelBorder | True/False | 0/1 | Whether to show a border around the vLine label. |
| linePosition | Number | 0-1 | Helps configure the position of vertical line, that is, if a vLine is to be plotted between 2 points Jan and Feb, user can set any position between 0 and 1 to indicate the relative position of vLine between these two points (0 means Jan and 1 means Feb). By default, it is 0.5 to show in between the points. |
| labelPosition | Number | 0-1 | Helps configure the position of the vLine label by setting a relative position between 0 and 1. In vertical charts, 0 means top of canvas and 1 means bottom. In horizontal charts, 0 means left of canvas and 1 means right. |
| labelHAlign | Text | left, center, right | Horizontal anchor point for the alignment of vLine label. |
| labelVAlign | Text | top, middle, bottom | Vertical anchor point for the alignment of vLine label. |
Trend-lines
Trend-lines are horizontal lines that aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting the sales data for the current year, you might want to show the previous year's average monthly sales as a trend indicator for ease of comparison. The `lines` object, child of the `trendlines` object is used to add trend-lines to a chart. Although the `line` object has to be defined within the `trendlines` object, the latter cannot be used to collectively customize trend-lines, because it does not have any attributes of its own. The attributes of the `lines` object, child of the `trendlines` object, are used to create and customize trend-lines for charts.
| Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| startValue | Number | Numeric Value | The starting value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the `startValue` would be 102. |
| endValue | Number | Numeric Value | The ending y-axis value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the `endValue` would be 109. If you do not specify a value for `endValue`, it would automatically assume the same value as `startValue`. |
| displayValue | Text | Any | If you want to display a string caption for the trend line by its side, you can use this attribute. Example:` displayValue='Last Month High'`. When you do not supply this attribute, it automatically takes the value of `startValue`. |
| color | Text | Hex Color Code | Color of the trend line and its associated text |
| isTrendZone | True/False | 0/1 | Whether the trend will be displayed as a line or a zone (fill-colored rectangle). |
| showOnTop | True/False | 0/1 | Whether the trend line or trend zone would be displayed over data plots or behind them. |
| thickness | Number | In Pixels | If you have opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define the thickness of trend line. |
| alpha | Number | 0 - 100 | Alpha of the trend line. |
| dashed | True/False | 0/1 | Whether the trendline should be rendered as dashed lines. Default value: 0 (trendline rendered using straight lines) |
| dashLen | Number | In pixels | Sets the length of each dash when trendline is rendered as dashed lines. |
| dashGap | Number | In pixels | Sets the gap between consecutive dashes when trendline is rendered as dashed lines. |
| valueOnRight | True/False | 0/1 | Whether to show the trend line value on left side or right side of chart. This is particularly useful when the trend line display values on the chart are colliding with divisional lines values on the chart. |
| toolText | Text | Custom tool-text for this trend line or trend zone. |
Trend-lines (Chart level attributes)
Trend-lines are horizontal lines that aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting the sales data for the current year, you might want to show the previous year's average monthly sales as a trend indicator for ease of comparison. Cosmetics for all the trend-lines rendered can be attained using this set of attributes. Although there are set of attributes of the `line object`, used to create and customize trend-lines, these set of attributes effect all the trend-lines rendered in your chart.
| Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| trendlineColor | Color | Hex Color Code | Sets color of all the trend lines and its associated text in the chart. |
| trendlineThickness | Number | In Pixels | If you've opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define the thickness of all the trend lines in your chart. |
| trendlineAlpha | Number | 0 - 100 | Sets transparency for all the trend lines in your charts. |
| trendLineToolText | Text | Any | Sets the tooltip text of the trend-line. It accepts macros, plain text, and HTML tags, as string. |
| showTrendlinesOnTop | True/False | 0/1 | Whether all the trend line/zone will be displayed over data plots or under them. |
Trend-lines Display Value Cosmetics
These attributes let you customize the text displayed with a trend-line.
