Legend Position

Question

I'm creating a JSP pie chart in Reports 9i.
The legend labels are being truncated.
To fix this I increased the chart width using a "width=" tag.
If I increase the width by 200 pixels, however, the legend box itself is moved to the right by 100 pixels. This means I have to increase graph size by twice as much as should be necessary to eliminate the label truncation. This is a problem since these graphs are going into portlets, and size matters.
Is there anywah to 1/. control the position of the legend box or 2/. control the width of the legend box?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes you can, the best way to do this is with a style
Create a custom style by using the webcharts designer.
{cf_root}\charting\webcharts.bat
Create the look that you require for your cfchart with the
GUI
Once you have everything as you require
Select the style tab of the webcharts (bottom of the screen)
Save this xml in a file to your web root/ directory where you
have the cfm to create the chart. ( you save the file by name
"myChartStyle.xml" in wwwroot\charts directory.
Use the "style" attribute to import these settings in the
cfchart tag. e.g. you have cfm in wwwroot folder then you can do
something like this
<cfchart style="charts\myChartStyle.xml" ....
