Generate Chart as Image w/out Browser

smitchelus — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:45:34 GMT

Hi, we are evaluating Fusion Charts for use in a reporting project we are working on. Everything looks pretty good with the exception of one issue. We need to be able to generate PDF files of our reports (both online and in a scheduled job). To do this we render all of the various components of the report to HTML and then convert that to PDF. This is done on the server side, without a browser. What I really need in this case is the ability to render a Fusion Chart to a JPEG without requiring a browser. Is this possible?

FWIW, we have looked at the FusionChartSave.jsp code example, but it looks like that requires data to be posted to you from the Flash chart in the browser.

Thanks,
Scott

save image doesn't work for me

xmichelle — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:33:21 GMT

I copy the FusionChartsSave.jsp to my application in tomcat. I try save image, it show the progress bar, but after percentage bar finishes, nothing happens.

I test it that the jsp is accessible by typing the link to that jsp, and I get the error message that complains no parameters for width and height, which is the right behavior because it shows that jsp is running and accessible.

Unable to access .swf chart fiels located under WEB-INF folder.

Rambabu — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 01:08:20 GMT

Hi,

I placed all .swf files under WEB-INF folder for the security reasons. But I am not able to access those files if they are in WEB-INF folder through javascript and Java code in the JSP. (See the below code)

JavaScript:

new FusionCharts("/WEB-INF/fusionCharts/Bar2D.swf", "", "xmlString", "chart1Id", "400", "180", 0, 0); (or)

new FusionCharts("../../WEB-INF/fusionCharts/Bar2D.swf", "", "xmlString", "chart1Id", "400", "180", 0, 0);

</script>

Java:

String chartHTMLCode=FusionChartsCreator.createChartHTML("../../WEB-INF/fusionCharts/Bar2D.swf", "", "strxml", "scoreGraph", 400, 180, false);

-------------

Even i tried with the standalone example as it is given in the "$\Code\JSP\BasicExample\BasicChart.jsp" with the Tomcat 6.0. But i am not able to access the Column3D.swf file located under the /WEB-INF/FusionCharts/. (See the below code)

String chartHTMLCode=createChartHTML("../../FusionCharts/Column3D.swf", "Data/Data.xml", "", "myFirst", 600, 300, false);

Please let me know how can i access these files from the WEB-INF folder.

Note that i can able to access .swf files if i placed them outside of web-inf folder.

Thanks,

Rambabu.

Gantt Chart Height Issue

moorthy — Fri, 02 May 2008 08:23:05 GMT

Hi,

I am showing process and task information in the gantt chart. The number of process(record count) get vary at run time. If I display one day data the nuber of process around 75, If I display two day data the nuber of process around 160, my three days data around 260.

So have set the height at run time by recordCount*22. This I found based on some trial and error method. This is working if I display around upto 170 process.

If the no of process is more than 170, this logic is not working. Suppose consider if I display 250 records, upto around 170 records the process and task displaying properly, in the remaining records only process is displaying, the task information is not displaying, the cell border disappears and the scroll bar disappears.

Is there any way to set the height at runtime based on the number of records we are showing?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Jooly — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 02:03:59 GMT

hi, is there any way to tell my jsp page to locate the data.xml under the web-inf folder? what i did is:

Time in the y axis

moorthy — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 05:02:10 GMT

Hi,

In my combination chart, I have 3d bar and line over the bar. In the chart left y axis is numeric, and right y axis is time. In the right y axis I need to pass the time like 10:00 AM, 10:30:AM …..12:30 PM. Is there any way to achieve this in the FusionCharts v3 development license?

Currently I am drawing the line by converting this time into numeric value. But my y label displays numeric value. It would be great if we show my right y label as 10:00 AM, 12:35 PM like this

The flash file I am using is: MSColumn3DLineDY.swf

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

Have created one dashboard that contains 8 fusion charts. Have placed one html dropdown on top of first chart. Based on the dropdown selection, the first chart gets refreshed thru ajax call.

My issue is if I select value in the dropdown, the entire page gets blinks before the first chart gets refreshed. This is not happening if I do drilldown by clicking the slice or bar

Any solution? Thanks in advance for the help.

Handle Right click event

moorthy — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:13:09 GMT

Hey,

Fusion chart is a No.1 charing tool provides rich look and feel. All my customers get satisfied on the fusion chart demo we have given. All these because of you people. Thanks for providing such a great tool. Hope we are going to be a golden customer for you soon.

We have one requirement. Like the left click we need to handle the right click also. The think is we need to show our own menu while right click on each sclices instead of the default right click menu. So that my user will right on slice/bar and select the option like download into xls, View Raw data.. from my own menu, that will take him to the new page...

Is it possible?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks,

Moorthy

How to make Line 2D charts clickable?

doitall — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 09:36:56 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to make the Line 2D chart clickable i.e. a user can click [b]anywhere[/b] on the chart & not just the dataset points to drill down into the next level of the graph. I see that drawAnchors can do something like this and so I tried this:

[code] chart showBorder='1' drawAnchors='1' anchorAlpha='100' .... [/code]

My question is, can drawAnchors achieve what I am trying to do or am I missing something?

Basic usage of FusionCharts with JSP

schyzad — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 08:41:59 GMT

Hi guys,
I am a novice user to the FusionCharts and I am trying to place it with my test JSP page. It is not rendering the results at all. I have done all the basics with static installations properly and tested it. But as soon as i moved to JSP it is not working at all . I am pasting the code below for further reference.

Please if someone can redirect me towards an example application of JSP using FusionCharts.

Trendlines is showing a single line for Today.

malas — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:57:44 GMT

Hi,

I have used trendlines for Today in my Fusion Chart and I am using Gantt.swf file for displaying the chart. I am getting a single line instead of a bar for the whole day.

Similarly if some data falls for one day ie.start from 20-Sep and ends in 20-Sep, I am getting the graph only at the start point and not for the full day.

Please refer the below image for the same. Your inputs would be helpful for me.

Thanks, Mala.S

setDataURL method does not refresh data

davnati — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 03:16:45 GMT

Hi,
When we use the setDataURL method (..\Column3d.swf?dataURL=Newdata.xml) and have acquired some problems where we see that the new data is loaded but the bar graphics are not redrawn after we send the new data. In other words, after we reload the data (using ..\Column3d.swf?dataURL=Newdata.xml) the data labels are refreshed correctly, but the column bars are not redrawn. This did not work for us both in Flex and plain HTML page.

We also examined the HTML/Javascript example application in the documentation in ...\JavaScript\Basics\ChangeDataURL.html, and are getting the JS exception "Object doesn't support this property or method" line 21.
We tried this on several different machines and browsers.

Thanks,
Nathaniel

XML which is given as input parameter to dataURL has special characters.

malas — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:31:25 GMT

I have some special characters in the XML data which we feed to the dataURL in the fusion charts. Below is the piece of XML code which I am sending to the dataURL, where the country name has a special character. It is throwing - Invalid XML data.

Would be much thankful, if anyone could give a solution for this issue.

Thanks,
