class=\"s1\">An interactive graph is responsive to different types of user actions &#8212; static charts aren&#8217;t. An interactive graph allows users to pan, scale and zoom. Depending upon the end application, they also provide different data views, magnify certain parts, or show the entire dataset at a glance. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_you_Need_an_Interactive_Graph\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Why do you Need an Interactive Graph?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While there are many tools for charting and graphing data, most of them just create static illustrations. Viewing them is the same as viewing a picture. Data, a live entity, deserves an interactive view. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Your users should be able to either focus on different parts of your data or all your data points at once. In a nutshell, <\/span><span class=\"s1\">interactive graphs engage users and provide an immersive experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_features_of_FusionCharts_Interactive_Graphs\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">What are the features of FusionCharts Interactive Graphs?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Graphs and charts created with FusionCharts are dynamic and interactive. Some great features include Interactive Legends, Tool Tips, Zooming, Scrolling and Panning, and Customized Chart Loading as well as Mouse, Keyboard, and Other Events :<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Interactive_Legends\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">What are Interactive Legends?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18954 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-4-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"517\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-4-1.png 517w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-4-1-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/>\r\n\r\nAll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/features\/interactive-legend\">FusionCharts legends are interactive<\/a> by default. Interactive legends can highlight, hide or slice in \/ slice out data points in a graph. In addition, clicking on a data series in the legend results in highlighting that data series, allowing the user to focus on this part of the data.\r\n\r\nYour user can also hide or display legends in a chart or graph with a simple mouse click. For example, expert users familiar with your graph details can choose to hide them and novice users can turn them on.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_ToolTips\"><\/span>Are there ToolTips?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18945 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-2-1-1024x538.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-2-1-1024x538.png 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-2-1-300x158.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-2-1-768x403.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-2-1.png 1428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/features\/tooltips\">Tooltips<\/a> also bring interactivity into your graph or chart. They display all types of details related to your data points. FusionCharts enables Tooltips by default. They are also100% customizable.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_about_Zooming_Scrolling_and_Panning\"><\/span>What about Zooming, Scrolling, and Panning?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18326 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/timeseries.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1914\" height=\"1140\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/timeseries.png 1914w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/timeseries-300x179.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/timeseries-768x457.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/timeseries-1024x610.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1914px) 100vw, 1914px\" \/>\r\n\r\nAnother great FusionCharts feature is the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/features\/zooming-and-scrolling\">zoom, pan, and scale<\/a>. This is another default behavior that lets your users study fine details in a graph, focus on a specialized area, or look at your data in its entirety.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Chart_Loading_be_Customized\"><\/span>Can Chart Loading be Customized?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19108 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/context.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"163\" height=\"103\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn FusionCharts, you can define messages and customized behaviors when you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/features\/chart-loading-config\">load charts or graphs<\/a>. You can also notify your users about events such as data loading problems, data mismatches, or unusual data events.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Chart_Annotations\"><\/span>What are Chart Annotations?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19336 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1424\" height=\"838\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-9.png 1424w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-9-300x177.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-9-768x452.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-9-1024x603.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1424px) 100vw, 1424px\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn FusionCharts, you can define and display <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/features\/custom-values-and-annotations\">customized images or shapes<\/a> in charts and graphs. You can also configure events related to these annotations. For example, you can display detailed information when a user hovers their mouse over data series or data points.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_Mouse_Keyboard_and_Other_Events\"><\/span>What About Mouse, Keyboard, and Other Events?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nFusionCharts allows users to capture all kinds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/features\/chart-event-handling\">mouse and keyboard events<\/a>. You can change the default behavior of events by defining handlers for them. This means your developers can write their own handlers for mouse, keyboard, data loading, and data updating to make a graph more interactive and responsive.\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Building_an_Interactive_Graph_with_FusionCharts_Blazing_Fast\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Why is Building an Interactive Graph with FusionCharts Blazing Fast?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nFusionCharts is the best platform for building interactive and responsive graphs, charts, and maps.
