Making the bottom labels as vertical

 

Here is a cool method from Ray to make the bottom labels on a chart to show vertically on the graph instead of horizontal.

Use the built in chart editor(CF_HOME\charting\webcharts.bat). And just change the XAxis/Style/Label/Orientation setting to Vertical.

The xml would look like this:

 

<frameChart>
<xAxis>
<labelStyle orientation="Vertical"/>
</xAxis>
</frameChart>

 

 

 

Passing this onto chart, it looks like below:

Here is how the original horizontal one looks:

You also have options for Slanted, here is an example of Slanted:

ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 Cumulative Hot Fix 1

I have not blogged in quite while, blame it to totally heads down with Scorpio development.

I've some good news with people having trouble getting their flash charts and flash forms to work on Merrimack. (CF 7.0.2)

Short take:

1. Goto this link - ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 Cumulative HotFix 1
2. Read the text (or skip to step 3)
3. Download the file. (click here)
4. Unzip the file.
5. Update CF.

The whole story:
This is really a problem caused by the guys at Redmond. They put in some new paranoid security stuff into IE. So we had to rework some javascript in the way Flash content could be displayed on IE without bothering users - and we did a slight mistake here, we forgot to put in the context root in the URL before displaying the content. Now this has been fixed.

So your flash charts and forms should work fine now both on standalone and J2EE installations.

Cheers!

PS: If they still don't work you know who to tell.
