Chart Advanced Features: Spark Column

The following sections provide a list of available advanced attributes available for controlling and customizing Spark Column chart elements.

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/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.

Default value: 1 sec
setAdaptiveYMin True/False 0/1 This attribute lets you set whether the y-axis lower limit will 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.

formatNumber True/False 0/1 This configuration determines whether the numbers displayed on the chart will be formatted using commas, e.g., 40,000 if ‘formatNumber’: ‘1’; and 40000 if ‘formatNumber’: ‘0’;
numberPrefix Text Any Using this attribute, you could add prefix to all the numbers visible on the graph. For example, to represent all dollars figure on the chart, you could specify this attribute to $ to show like $40000, $50000.
numberSuffix Text Any Using this attribute, you could add suffix to all the numbers visible on the graph. For example, to represent all figures quantified as per annum on the chart, you could specify this attribute to ‘/a’ to show like 40000/a, 50000/a.

This attribute works only when `“formatNumberScale”: “1”` and the `defaultNumberScale` attribute is not defined.
For example, if `“numberScaleUnit”: “K, M”`, `“numberScaleValue”: “1000, 1000”`, and `“forceNumberScale”: “1”`, a data value of `400` will be rendered as `0.40K`.

exportMode Text Any This attributes sets the modes of export. To enable client-side exporting, set this attribute to `client`.

Default value: auto.

Note: Starting v3.12.1, the `exportMode` attribute replaces the `exportAtClientSide` attribute. However, you don’t need to make any changes to the existing setup because, the Exago library comes with the proper mapping already provided.

Chart Paddings & 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. It’s 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 horizontal space (in pixels) between the caption and left side of chart canvas.
plotSpacePercent Number In percent This attribute defines the space between two columns. If you intend to increase or decrease the spacing between columns, you can do so using this attribute. For example, if you wanted all columns to stick to each other without any space in between, you can set plotSpacePercent to 0. Similarly, if you want very thin columns, you can set plotSpacePercent to its max value of 80.

Trend-lines

Trend-lines are horizontal lines that aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting the sales data for the current year, you might want to show the previous year’s average monthly sales as a trend indicator for ease of comparison. The `lines` object, child of the `trendlines` object is used to add trend-lines to a chart. Although the `line` object has to be defined within the `trendlines` object, the latter cannot be used to collectively customize trend-lines, because it does not have any attributes of its own. The attributes of the `lines` object, child of the `trendlines` object, are used to create and customize trend-lines for charts.

Attribute Type Value Description
alpha Number Any Alpha of the trend line.
color Color Hex Color Code Color of the trend line and its associated text
dashed True/False 0/1 Whether the trendline should be rendered as dashed lines.

Default value: 0 (trendline rendered using straight lines)

dashLen Number In pixels Sets the length of each dash when trendline is rendered as dashed lines.
dashGap Number In pixels Sets the gap between consecutive dashes when trendline is rendered as dashed lines.
endValue Number Any The ending y-axis value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the `endValue` will be 109. If you do not specify a value for `endValue`, it will automatically assume the same value as `startValue`.
isTrendZone True/False 0/1 Whether the trend will be displayed as a line or a zone (fill-colored rectangle).
showOnTop True/False 0/1 By default, the trendline/trendzone appears below the dataplots. This attribute allows you to display the trendline/trendzone on top of the dataplots.
startValue Number Any The starting value for the trendline. Say, if you want to plot a slanted trendline from value 102 to 109, the `startValue` will be 102.
thickness Number In pixels If you’ve opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define the thickness of trend line.

Trend-lines (Chart level attributes)

Trend-lines are horizontal lines that aid in interpretation of data with respect to some pre-determined value. For example, if you are plotting the sales data for the current year, you might want to show the previous year’s average monthly sales as a trend indicator for ease of comparison. Cosmetics for all the trend-lines rendered can be attained using this set of attributes. Although there are set of attributes of the `line object`, used to create and customize trend-lines, these set of attributes effect all the trend-lines rendered in your chart.

Attribute Type Value Description
trendlineColor Color Hex Color Code Sets color of all the trend lines and its associated text in the chart.
trendlineThickness Number In Pixels If you’ve opted to show the trend as a line, this attribute lets you define the thickness of all the trend lines in your chart.
trendlineAlpha Number 0 – 100 Sets transparency for all the trend lines in your charts.
trendLineToolText Text Any Sets the tooltip text of the trend-line. It accepts macros, plain text, and HTML tags, as string.
showTrendlinesOnTop True/False 0/1 Whether all the trend line/zone will be displayed over data plots or under them.
