Chart Advanced Features: Radar
Note
This article contains documentation for advanced attributes which are third-party customizations that must be manually entered into the chart wizard. These articles were converted directly from the documentation provided by this third-party source. Not every attribute listed may be supported in Exago BI as some unexpected conflicts may occur in their integration within the application.
Functional Attributes
These attributes let you control a variety of functional elements on the chart. For example, you can opt to show or hide data labels, data values. You can also set chart limits and extended properties.
Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
animation | True/False | 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. |
animationDuration | Number | In seconds | This attribute sets the animation duration of the chart. `animationDuration` attribute is applicable only if animation of the chart is enabled. Default value: 1 sec |
palette | Number | 1-5 | Each chart has 5 pre-defined color palettes which you can choose from. Each palette renders the chart in a different color theme. |
paletteColors | Text | 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 (that is, 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. For example, `”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 JSON. |
showLabels | True/False | 0/1 | It sets the configuration whether the x-axis labels will be displayed or not. |
showValues | True/False | 0/1 | Sets the configuration whether data values would be displayed along with the data plot on chart. |
showLimits | True/False | 0/1 | Whether to show chart limit values. If not specified `showYAxisValues` overrides this attribute. |
showDivLineValues | True/False | 0/1 | Whether to show div line values. If not specified `showYAxisValues` overrides this attribute. |
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 show every n-th label for better clarity. This attribute just lets you do so. When a value greater than 1 (n) is set to this attribute, the first label from left and every label at the n-th position from left will be displayed. e.g., a chart showing data for 12 months and set with `labelStep: 3` will show labels for January, April, July, and October. The rest of the labels will be skipped. |
adjustDiv | True/False | 0/1 | The chart 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. |
showPrintMenuItem | True/False | 0/1 | When you right click on the chart it shows a context menu. This attribute allows you to show or hide the “Print” option in the context menu. |
unescapeLinks | True/False | 0/1 | Internally the chart decodes a Url that you set as link. Before invoking the link it again encodes the Url. If you are passing multilingual characters via a Url or do not want this decode-encode mechanism to be handled by chart you can set,`unescapeLinks=’0’`. |
showZeroPlaneValue | True/False | 0/1 | Allows you to show or hide the value of the zero plane. |
clickURL | Text | Any | 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 Exago Link Format. |
clickURLOverridesPlotLinks | True/False | 0/1 | Sets whether the `clickURL` attribute (that sets a link to which the user is directed when the chart is clicked) overrides the `link` attribute (that sets a link to which the user is directed when a data plot is clicked). Default value: 0 (`clickURL` does not override `link`) |
radarRadius | Number | In Pixels | If you want to explicitly specify a radius for the radar chart, use this attribute. Otherwise, the chart will automatically calculate the best-fit radius. |
setAdaptiveYMin | True/False | 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. |
hasRTLText | Number | Any | This attribute, when set to `1`, indicates to the chart that the text (rendered on the chart) may contain RTL characters and the textual display has to be managed accordingly. |
plotHighlightEffect | Text | Any | This attribute lets you enable/disable the highlight effect, in the form of a `fadeout`, for the data plots corresponding to a legend item. When this attribute is enabled and the mouse pointer is hovered over a legend item label, plots belonging to the other data series fadeout, by reducing their opacity. The fadeout effect can be customized by specifying the fadeout color and opacity using the `color` and `alpha` attributes. Eg. `fadeout|color=#ff0000, alpha=60` |
theme | Text | ‘fusion’, ‘gammel’, ‘candy’, ‘ocean’, ‘zune’, ‘carbon’, ‘umber’ | This attribute changes the theme of the chart. There are 7 types of themes which have been made according to the different color combinations. |

Divisional Lines & Grids
Using this set of attributes, you can control the properties of divisional lines, zero plane and alternate color bands. Divisional Lines are horizontal or vertical lines running through the canvas. Each divisional line signifies a smaller unit of the entire axis thus aiding the users in interpreting the chart. The zero plane is a 2D plane that signifies the 0 position on the chart. If there are no negative numbers on the chart, you won’t see a visible zero plane. Alternate color bands are colored blocks between two successive divisional lines.

Number Formatting
Exago offers you a lot of options to format your numbers on the chart. Using the attributes below, you can control a myriad of options like: Formatting of commas and decimals Number prefixes and suffixes Decimal places to which the numbers would round to Scaling of numbers based on a user defined scale Custom number input formats
Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
formatNumber | True/False | 0/1 | This configuration determines whether the numbers displayed on the chart will be formatted using commas, for example, 40,000 if ‘formatNumber’: ‘1’; and 40000 if ‘formatNumber’: ‘0’;. |
formatNumberScale | True/False | 0/1 | Configuration whether to add K (thousands) and M (millions) to a number after truncating and rounding it – for example, if `formatNumberScale` is set to 1, 1043 would become 1.04K (with decimals set to 2 places). Same with numbers in millions – an M will be added at the end. |

So, the chart accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can convert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the decimal separator. |
inThousandSeparator | Text | 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 an error while converting to number. So, the chart accepts the input decimal and thousand separator from user, so that it can convert it accordingly into the required format. This attribute lets you input the thousand separator. |
decimals | Number | 0-10 | Number of decimal places to which all numbers on the chart would be rounded to. |

Chart Padding & Margins
The following attributes help you control chart margins and paddings. Exago allows you manually customize the padding of various elements on the chart to allow advanced manipulation and control over chart visualization. Padding in Exago is always defined in pixels, unless the attribute itself suggests some other scale (like `plotSpacePercent`, which configures the spacing using percentage values). 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, Exago would not plot anything in that space. It is not necessary for you to specify any padding/margin values. Exago automatically assumes the best values for the same, if you do not specify the same.
Attribute | Type | Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
captionPadding | Number | In Pixels | This attribute lets you control the space (in pixels) between the sub-caption and top of the chart canvas.
