Using an XML file to load Chart components - Page 7

Adding other chart information

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

Make sure that your XML file includes an attribute for the chart title in the chart node. The chart node would look like:

The LoadChartData function should include the lines:

//get Chart Title

var ChartTitle;

if (BaseNode.attributes["ThisTitle"].length > 0) {

   ChartTitle = BaseNode.attributes["ThisTitle"];

}

else {

   ChartTitle = "Default Title";

}

Apply the 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.
