The default chart object in the SQL Server (2005) Business Intelligence Development Studio doesn't seem to some have formatting options like :
specifying the text direction of labels in the x and y axis
adding a trendline to a bar chart
arbitrarily resizing items in a chart - for example, if I resize the chart object, everything gets resized accordingly but I can't keep the size of the chart the same while extending the area of the legend for instance.
multiline chart labels
So what I want to know is
is there any easy answer to the formatting problems mentioned above?
what websites/books/resources/examples would you recommend I look
into for extending the functionality of the chart object?
Some colleagues of mine gave up on the stock control and bought Dundas charts
The stock charts are cut down versions of Dundas.
yes you can specify the text direction of labels in the x and y axis
Go to chart properties and in the tab x and y axis enter the chart title and in the title align use the combination like left/right/center align.
you can change the legend line go to the chart properties click legend tab inside this
there is an option for "display legend inside plot area" and you can include the trendline there
you can use multiline text labels when the text limits extends
I don't see how you can resize the legend, puting inside the plot area looks ugly for pie-chart
I'd recommend go with the dundas chart components gbn suggested.
If that's not possible at least this article should solve issue 1.

I am trying to add a movable scale or axis inside a plot. For instance: in this example of stacked plot: Click-to-view
I want to include a movable y-axis scale so, if we hover the graph and put the mouse pointer on the beginning of the orange color of any bar, the a-xis will begin from that bar. (Specifically, moving x=0 line.)
I meant something like this example (of d3).

But, here I want to change the value of x-axis by moving the line. Is it possible to do it using vegalite? If somebody has any similar example in vegalite, can you refer it?
Thank you!
AFAIK, there is no animation in Vega Lite. However, you may check out Gemini which aims to extend the grammar of data viz to some simple animations of single-view Vega/Vega-Lite charts
I use amChart pie to display data with legend boxes in right side
but the text come up box,
Note I use it in metronic design project
this is the picture
You didn't post your chart code but try setting AmCharts.rtl = true; before any of your chart code is executed to see if that helps first, as it makes the chart more RTL language aware with regards to text placement. You might also need to adjust align, valueAlign,
markerLabelGap, and spacing to fine tune the placement further.
I want to change the kendo chart type dynamically. I am referring to http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/chart-api/index link. I made a change in this code and added one more chart type "area" along with other three chart types. But I see a weird behavior. After clicking on "Area" chart type option the color of the chart gets faded. Then if I click on any other chart type also, the color looks faded. But if I don't click on Area chart type option then color is intact. This happens for all the color themes. Anyone aware of any reasoning or solution for this behavior.
Thanks in Advance.
I saw this issue specifically when changing from the "pie" type to the "area" type. The issue ended up being that my datasource had a two series in it when I was rendering the pie chart, and when I changed to the area chart the pie chart had corrupted the chart config a bit. I modified my code to ensure that the pie chart always has a single series of data, and instead of calling "redraw", I called "refresh" when I changed the chart types.
So, in nvd3 charts, clicking on a legend entry basically filters that out of the chart window (for instance in the case of area charts). I want to invert this functionality..i.e. show the particular chart when its corresponding legend is shown and hide all the others...is there a way to do it?
It is similar to what happens when user hits the chart itself (i.e. only the one that is clicked is expanded and rest of the streams hide).
I am referring to this example: http://nvd3.org/ghpages/stackedArea.html
There's a radioButtonMode that should do exactly what you want. You should be able to set this on the chart, i.e.
chart.radioButtonMode(true);
I have a line chart, where the chart legend also in forms of line. Is there a way I can change the legend type from colored line to colored circle or square?
Figure like this. http://www.nevron.com/gallery/FullGalleries/chartActiveX/stackline/images/StackLine1.png
I don't think you can use this method to get circles, but if you want to get squares, you can change the chart to a 3-D line chart, then right-click the chart area and select '3-D Rotation'. Change everything in the Rotation section of the menu to as close to 0 as you can get it. This will make your chart show up as a regular line chart while the legend shows little cubes. After you've done that, though, you'll probably have to change the axis settings. In my experience, 3D charts tend to show too many gridlines.
