Adding other chart information

You can also set Chart title, X and Y axis titles and sort order within the data file. The example below shows how the Chart title can be set.

Make sure that your data file includes a variable for the title such as

&ThisChartTitle=Monthly Growth Statistics

On frame 3, include the following:

//get Chart title

var ChartTitle

if (loading.ThisChartTitle.length> 0) {

 ChartTitle = loading.ThisChartTitle;

}

else {

 ChartTitle = "Default Title";

}

This code tests to see if we have a chart title and assigns it to the ChartTitle variable. If no title exists, the words "Default Title" will appear.

Apply to title to the chart with:

MyChart.setChartTitle(ChartTitle);

You can use the same approach for X and Y axis titles and for sorting the data.
