The following sections provide a list of available advanced attributes available for controlling and customizing Pyramid 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.

| legendXPosition | Number | 0 to chart width (in pixels) | When the value of `legendPosition` is set to `absolute`, use this attribute to set the X-coordinate of the legend. It accepts absolute or percentage values. By default, its value is set to `0`. |
| legendYPosition | Number | 0 to chart height (in pixels) | When the value of `legendPosition` is set to `absolute`, use this attribute to set the Y-coordinate of the legend. It accepts absolute or percentage values. By default, its value is set to `0`. |
| legendNumRows | Number | Any | Sets the number of rows the legend should display. |
| legendNumColumns | Number | Any | Sets the number of columns the legend should display. |

| reverseLegend | True/False | 0/1 | You can reverse the ordering of datasets in the legend by setting this attribute to 1. |
| interactiveLegend | True/False | 0/1 | This attribute lets you interact with the legend in your chart. When you click a particular legend key, the associated slice slides out from the chart. Re-clicking the key causes the slice to slide in. |
| legendNumColumns | Number | Zero and Positive Integers | The legend items are arranged in columns. Using this attribute, you can propose the number of columns. This value undergoes internal checking on judicious use of white-space. In case, the value is found improper, the chart auto-calculates the number of columns. When set to 0, the chart automatically decides the number of columns. The above is applicable when `legendPosition` is set to `BOTTOM``.` If the `legendPosition` is set to `RIGHT`, the number of columns is always set to 1. |
| minimiseWrappingInLegend | True/False | 0/1 | Whether to minimize legend item text wrapping. |

Chart Paddings & Margins
The following attributes help you control chart margins and paddings. Exago allows you manually customize the padding of various elements on the chart to allow advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. Padding in Exago is always defined in pixels, unless 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. It's not necessary for you to specify any padding/margin values. Exago automatically assumes the best values for the same, if you do not specify the same.
| Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| captionPadding | Number | In pixels | This attribute lets you control the space (in pixels) between the sub-caption and top of the chart canvas. If the sub-caption is not defined, it controls the space between caption and top of chart canvas. If neither caption, nor sub-caption is defined, this padding does not come into play. |
| 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. |
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 | Label for the pyramid slice. 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 pyramid slice. This value will be plotted on the chart. |
| link | Text | Any | You can define links for individual data items. That enables the end user to click on data items (Pyramid slices) 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 Drill-Down Charts section for more information. Also, you'll need to URL Encode all the special characters (like ? and &) present in the link. |
