Hi,

We’re ready with this feature, but it is not released yet. If you want, I’ll send you a working version, which supports this.

I’ve sent you a custom version via email.

There is no difference in the functionality between the trial and the paid version. In the paid version the trial watermark (www.jqchart.com) is removed and of course you can use the paid version in production.

Hi Gene,

Actually, you don’t need the updateChart method.


In the sample I’ve sent you the y-labels are changed. Is it possible to send me your code, so I can look at it?


Yes, that’s correct. You can also have one function, which is called from the event handlers for each chart.

Hi Dragan,

I got it working! Thank you very much. In order to avoid replicating the code multiple times for each graph, I modified the javascript binding code as follows:

$(document).ready(function () {
var ids = ['#incurredWC', '#reservesWC', '#incurredAL', '#reservesAL', '#incurredGL', '#reservesGL'];
for (i = 0; i < ids.length; i++ ) {
$(ids[i]).bind('tooltipFormat', function (e, data) {
return '$' + addCommas(data.y);
});

$(ids[i]).bind('axisLabelCreating', function (event, data) {
if (data.context.axis.location == 'left') {
data.text = '$' + addCommas(data.text);
}
});
}
});

The Javascript provided does not work for the tooltip on a pie chart however. When I include the IDs for my pie charts, the tooltip for a pie segment shows "$undefined". I am guessing this is because the data element passed to the addCommas function is not a pure number, but includes the legend title and percentage. Not a problem. I can probably parse the data passed to the binding function to split the number out of the legend and percent and then reformat.

Anyway, thank you again for your assistance. You have been extremely helpful.

Best regards,
Gene

Ok. I did some more investigating. Apparently, this technique only works for standard column charts. When I include a stacked column chart, the y-axis is rendered with commas. However, the tooltip shows commas, but now aggregates the bar with all previous segments below. If I don't include the graph in the binding list, the tool tip show the amount for just the one segment the mouse is hovered over. Also, it appears that the value passed to the tooltip bind is not a string, so I can't parse out the value to add commas to.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Gene

Perfect! Thank you!

I want to say that of all the MVC chart rendering libraries out there, jqChart is by far the easiest to implement. We are planning to purchase a developers license shortly, in part because of your quick and helpful responses to our questions.

I do have one final question (at least until we purchase the developer's license).

I would like to have the graph title split to 2 or more lines. Embedding html "breaks" in the title declaration renders the html break as text. Is it possible to do this, either in the declaration, or through a similar binding you demonstrated for the axis values and tooltips?

Thanks again!
Gene
