Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
animation	Boolean	0/1	This attribute gives you the option to control animation in your charts. If you do not want to animate any part of the chart, set this as 0.
palette	Number	1-5	FusionCharts XT uses the concept of Color Palettes. Each chart has 5 pre-defined color palettes which you can choose from. Each palette renders the chart in a different color theme. Valid values are 1-5.
paletteColors	String	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 (i.e., 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 e.g., <chart 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 XML.
showAboutMenuItem	Boolean	0/1	Setting this to 1 shows up a custom context menu in the chart, which can be customized to show your text and can be linked to your Url. For e.g., you can set the context menu of the chart to include "About your company name" and then link to your company home page. By default, the chart shows "About FusionCharts" when right clicked.
aboutMenuItemLabel	String		The menu item label for the custom context menu item.
aboutMenuItemLink	String	URL	Link for the custom context menu item. You can specify the link in FusionCharts Link format to be able to open the same in new window, pop-ups, frames or as JavaScript links.
showLabels	Boolean	0/1	It sets the configuration whether the x-axis labels will be displayed or not.
labelDisplay	String	AUTO Since v 3.2 WRAP STAGGER ROTATE or 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 Since v 3.2.1	Boolean	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	Boolean	0/1	This attribute lets you set whether the data labels will show up as rotated labels on the chart.
slantLabels	Boolean	0/1	If you've opted to show rotated labels on chart, this attribute lets you set the configuration whether the labels will 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've 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 attribute just lets you do so. When a value greater than 1 (n) is set to this attribute, the first label from left and every label at the n-th position from left will be displayed. e.g., a chart showing data for 12 months and set with labelStep='3' will show labels for January, April, July and October. The rest of the labels will be skipped.
xAxisLabelMode Since v3.2.2	String	AUTO CATEGORIES MIXED	This attribute is used to render the x-axis labels in three different modes. The modes are as following: AUTO - Allows the x-axis labels to inherit the properties of y-axis (numeric calculations), ignoring the properties of the <categories> element if present in the data. CATEGORIES - This mode is the default mode of xAxisLabelMode. It allows the chart to show the properties of the <categories> element on the x-axis labels. MIXED - Allows the chart to show both the properties of y-axis (numeric calculations) and <categories> element on the x-axis simultaneously. For more details on these modes click here.
staggerLines	Number	2 or above	If you've 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	Boolean	0/1	Sets the configuration whether data values will be displayed along with the data plot on chart.
showYAxisValues	Boolean	0/1	FusionCharts XT y-axis is divided into vertical sections using div (divisional) lines. Each div line assumes a value based on its position. Using this attribute you can set whether to show those div line (y-axis) values or not. This attribute shows or hides the y-axis divisional lines and limits. The values of showLimits and showDivLineValues if specified explicitly overrides the value of this attribute.
showXAxisValues Since v3.2.2	Boolean	0/1	FusionCharts XT x-axis is divided into horizontal sections using div (divisional) lines. Each div line assumes a value based on its position. Using this attribute you can set whether to show those div line (x-axis) values or not. This attribute shows or hides the x-axis divisional lines and limits. When specified the values of showVLimits and showVDivLineValues overrides the value of this attribute.
rotateValues	Boolean	0/1	If you've opted to show data values, you can rotate them using this attribute.
showLimits	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show chart limit values. If not specified showYAxisValues attribute overrides this value.
showVLimits Since v3.2.2	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show chart limit values of the x-axis. If not specified showXAxisValues attribute overrides this value.
showDivLineValues	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show div line values. If not specified showYAxisValues attribute overrides this value.
showVDivLineValues Since v3.2.2	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show vertical div line values. If not specified showXAxisValues attribute overrides this value.
xAxisMinValue	Number	Numeric Value	The bubble/scatter chart have both x and y axis as numeric. This attribute lets you explicitly set the x-axis lower limit. If you do not specify this value, FusionCharts XT will automatically calculate the best value for you.
xAxisMaxValue	Number	Numeric Value	The bubble/scatter chart have both x and y axis as numeric. This attribute lets you explicitly set the x-axis upper limit. If you do not specify this value, FusionCharts XT will automatically calculate the best value for you.
yAxisMinValue	Number		This attribute helps you explicitly set the lower limit of the chart. If you don't specify this value, it is automatically calculated by FusionCharts XT based on the data provided by you.
yAxisMaxValue	Number		This attribute helps you explicitly set the upper limit of the chart. If you don't specify this value, it is automatically calculated by FusionCharts XT based on the data provided by you.
defaultAnimation	Boolean	0/1	By default, each chart animates some of its elements. If you wish to switch off the default animation patterns, you can set this attribute to 0. It can be particularly useful when you want to define your own animation patterns using STYLE feature.
yAxisValuesStep	Number	1 or above	By default, all div lines show their values. However, you can opt to display every x(th) div line value using this attribute.
xAxisValuesStep Since v3.2.2	Number	1 or above	By default, all div lines show their values. However, you can opt to display every x(th) div line value using this attribute.
adjustDiv	Boolean	0/1	FusionCharts XT 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 will disable automatic adjustment of divisional lines.
adjustVDiv Since v3.2.2	Boolean	0/1	FusionCharts XT automatically tries to adjust divisional lines and limit values of the x-axis based on the data provided. However, if you want to set your explicit lower and upper limit values and number of divisional lines for the x-axis, first set this attribute to false. That will disable automatic adjustment of divisional lines.
rotateYAxisName	Boolean	0/1	If you do not wish to rotate y-axis name, set this as 0. It specifically comes to use when you've special characters (UTF8) in your y-axis name that do not show up in rotated mode.
yAxisNameWidth	Number	(In Pixels)	If you opt to not rotate y-axis name, you can choose a maximum width that will be applied to y-axis name.
clickURL	String		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 FusionCharts Link format.
setAdaptiveYMin	Boolean	0/1	This attribute lets you set whether the y-axis lower limit will 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.
setAdaptiveXMin Since v3.2.2	Boolean	0/1	This attribute lets you set whether the x-axis lower limit will be 0 (in case of all positive values on chart) or should the x-axis lower limit adapt itself to a different figure based on values provided to the chart.
