These attributes let you control a variety of functional elements on the chart. For example, you can opt to show/hide data labels, data values, y-axis values. You can also set chart limits and extended properties.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
viewMode	Boolean	0/1	Whether to set the chart in view mode or edit mode. In view mode, ends users will only be able to drag the nodes (which are marked as drag-able). In edit mode, they can add/delete nodes or add/delete connectors.
enableLink	Boolean	0/1	If there are any links defined on the nodes, you can opt to start the chart in link mode (rather than dragging mode) by setting this attribute as 1. Your users can, at runtime, toggle between link mode and drag mode using the right-click context menu of chart.
animation	Boolean	0/1	This attribute lets you set the configuration whether the chart should appear in an animated fashion. If you do not want to animate any part of the chart, set this as 0.
palette	Number	1-5	FusionCharts v3 introduces 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.

labelDisplay	String	WRAP, STAGGER, ROTATE or NONE	Using this attribute, you can control how your data labels (x-axis labels) would appear on the chart. There are 4 options: WRAP, STAGGER, ROTATE or NONE. WRAP wraps the label text if it's longer than the allotted area. ROTATE rotates the label in vertical or slanted position. STAGGER divides the labels into multiple lines.
rotateLabels	Boolean	0/1	This attribute lets you set whether the data labels would 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 would 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 hide every n-th label for better clarity. This attributes just lets you do so. It allows to skip every n(th) X-axis label.
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 would be displayed along with the data plot on chart.
showYAxisValues	Boolean	0/1	FusionCharts 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.
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 based on the data provided by 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 based on the data provided by you.
xAxisMinValue	Number	Numeric Value	The node chart has 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 will automatically calculate the best value for you.
xAxisMaxValue	Number	Numeric Value	The node chart has 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 will automatically calculate the best value for you.
use3DLighting	Boolean	0/1	Whether to use 3D lighting effects while filling the nodes?
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.
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 skip every x(th) div line value using this attribute.
adjustDiv	Boolean	0/1	FusionCharts 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 would 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.
setAdaptiveYMin	Boolean	0/1	This attribute lets you set whether the y-axis lower limit would 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.

In XML, if you specify such values, it will give a error while converting to number. So, FusionCharts accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can covert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the decimal separator. For more details, please see Advanced Number Formatting section.
inThousandSeparator	String	Character	In some countries, commas are used as decimal separators and dots as thousand separators. In XML, if you specify such values, it will give a error while converting to number.

The following attributes help you control chart margins and paddings.

FusionCharts v3 allows you manually customize the padding of various elements on the chart to allow advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. Padding in FusionCharts is always defined in pixels, unless the attribute itself suggests some other scale (like plotSpacePercent).

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. That means, FusionCharts wouldn't plot anything in that space.

It's not necessary for you to specify any padding/margin values. FusionCharts automatically assumes the best values for the same, if you do not specify the same.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
legendPadding	Number	In Pixels	Padding of legend from right/bottom side of canvas
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.
xAxisNamePadding	Number	In Pixels	Using this, you can set the distance between the top end of x-axis title and the bottom end of data labels (or canvas, if data labels are not to be shown).
yAxisNamePadding	Number	In Pixels	Using this, you can set the distance between the right end of y-axis title and the start of y-axis values (or canvas, if the y-axis values are not to be shown).
yAxisValuesPadding	Number	In Pixels	This attribute helps you set the horizontal space between the canvas left edge and the y-axis values or trend line values (on left/right side). This is particularly useful, when you want more space between your canvas and y-axis values.
labelPadding	Number	In Pixels	This attribute sets the vertical space between the labels and canvas bottom edge. If you want more space between the canvas and the x-axis labels, you can use this attribute to control it.
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 on the bottom of your chart. Nothing is rendered in this space.
canvasLeftMargin	Number	In Pixels	This attribute lets you control the space between the start of chart canvas and the start (x) of chart. In case of 2D charts, the canvas is the visible rectangular box. In case of 3D charts, the canvas box is the imaginary box around the 3D canvas. Using this attribute, you can control the amount of empty space between the chart left side and canvas left side. By default, FusionCharts automatically calculates this space depending on the elements to be placed on the chart. However, if you want to over-ride this value with a higher value, you can use this attribute to specify the same. Please note that you cannot specify a margin lower than what has been calculated by the chart. This attribute is particularly useful, when you've multiple charts placed in a page and want all their canvas start position to align with each other - so in such a case, you can set same margin value (a value large enough that it doesn't get rejected by chart owing to it being lower than the calculated value) for all such charts in the page.
canvasRightMargin	Number	In Pixels	Like canvasLeftMargin, this attribute lets you set the space between end of canvas and end of chart.
canvasTopMargin	Number	In Pixels	Like canvasLeftMargin, this attribute lets you set the space between top of canvas and top of chart.
canvasBottomMargin	Number	In Pixels	Like canvasLeftMargin, this attribute lets you set the space between bottom of canvas and bottom of chart.

Each <dataset> element contains a series of data.

You can provide data-set level cosmetics so that all data within that data-set will be plotted in the same color/alpha/etc.

Also, each data-set can be named using the seriesName attribute of <dataset> element. The series name appears in the legend of the chart.

The drag-node chart allows you to connect any two nodes on the chart using connectors. You can have any number of connectors on the chart, as long as two nodes are connected by one connector only. The following properties let you define the cosmetics for all the connectors on the chart:

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
stdThickness	Number	0-5	Using this value, you can specify a number which will be multiplied by individual connectors strength to get the line thickness. Say, you've a connector whose thickness should be 2 pixels and another whose thickness should be 4. So, you can define this attribute as 2 and then specify the strength of first connector as 1 and second one as 2. This is useful when you're plotting network diagrams and you've to show link strength as connector thickness.
Color	Color	Hex Code	Color for all the connectors on the chart.
alpha	Number	0-100	Alpha for all the connectors on the chart.
dashed	Boolean	0/1	Whether the connectors on the chart should appear as dashed?

Each <connector> element lets you connect two nodes on the chart. Please note that two nodes can be connected only using 1 connector.

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
from	String		ID of the node from where you want the connector to start. The id should refer to the user defined id of each node (defined in XML).
to	String		ID of the node from where you want the connector to end. The id should refer to the user defined id of each node (defined in XML).
label	String		Label of the connector which will show up on the chart.
Color	Color	Hex Code	Color of the connector.
alpha	Alpha	0-100	Alpha of the connector.
strength	Number	0-2	Strength of this connector. The thickness of this connector would be strength*stdThickness (defined for <connectors> element).

arrowAtEnd	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show arrows at the end point of connector?
dashed	Boolean	0/1	Whether the connector should appear dashed?
dashLen	Number	Pixels	If the connector is to appear as dashed, this attribute lets you define the length of each dash.
dashGap	Number	Pixels	If the connector is to appear as dashed, this attribute lets you define the gap between two consecutive dashes.

Using the <trendLines> element (and children <line> elements), you can define trend lines on the chart.

Trend lines are horizontal/vertical lines spanning the chart canvas which aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting sales data of current year, you might want to add previous year's average monthly sales as trend indicator for ease of comparison.

For each trend line on the chart, you need to define a <line> element under <trendLines> element as under:

<trendLines>
<line startValue='895' color='FF0000' displayvalue='Average' />
</trendLines>

You can control the cosmetic and functional properties of trend-lines using the following attributes:

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
startValue	Number	Numeric Value	The starting value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the startValue would be 102.
endValue	Number	Numeric Value	The ending y-axis value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the endValue would be 109. If you do not specify a value for endValue, it would automatically assume the same value as startValue.
displayValue	String		If you want to display a string caption for the trend line by its side, you can use this attribute. Example: displayValue='Last Month High'. When you don't supply this attribute, it automatically takes the value of startValue.
color	String	Hex Code	Color of the trend line and its associated text.
isTrendZone	Boolean	0/1	Whether the trend would display a line, or a zone (filled colored rectangle).
showOnTop	Boolean	0/1	Whether the trend line/zone would be displayed over data plots or under them?
thickness	Number	In Pixels	If you've opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define the thickness of trend line.
alpha	Number	0-100	Alpha of the trend line.
dashed	Boolean	0/1	If you've opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define whether the trend line would appear as dashed?
dashLen	Number	In Pixels	If you've opted to show trend line as dash, this attribute lets you control the length of each dash.
dashGap	Number	In Pixels	If you've opted to show trend line as dash, this attribute lets you control the length of each dash gap.
valueOnRight	Boolean	0/1	Whether to show the trend line value on left side or right side of chart? This is particularly useful when the trend line display values on the chart are colliding with divisional lines values on the chart.

Vertical trend lines help you create vertical trend lines/zones on scatter (XY Plot) or Bubble charts.

These are vertical lines spanning the chart canvas which aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value.

Usage:
<vTrendLines>
<line startValue='895' endValue='980' color='FF0000' displayvalue='Zone 1' isTrendZone='1'/>
</vTrendLines>

You can control the cosmetic and functional properties of vertical trend-lines using the following attributes:

Attribute Name	Type	Range	Description
startValue	Number	Numeric Value	The starting value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the startValue would be 102.
endValue	Number	Numeric Value	The ending y-axis value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the endValue would be 109. If you do not specify a value for endValue, it would automatically assume the same value as startValue.
displayValue	String		If you want to display a string caption for the trend line by its side, you can use this attribute. Example: displayValue='Last Month High'. When you don't supply this attribute, it automatically takes the value of startValue.
color	String	Hex Code	Color of the trend line and its associated text.
isTrendZone	Boolean	0/1	Whether the trend would display a line, or a zone (filled colored rectangle).
