Problem Description:
cfchart shows the legend even when disabled by showlegend="false" in some cases. In my case I was able to nail it down to the existence of the attribute fontitalic. As soon this attribute is existing, true/yes or false/no, the legend appears. This is not expected and in earlier ColdFusion Versions this was working well. 

Steps to Reproduce:
create a cfml template with the following code and open it in the browser:
<cfchart fontitalic="no" showlegend="no">
    <cfchartseries type="pie">
        <cfchartdata item="New car sales" value="50000">
        <cfchartdata item="Used car sales" value="25000">
        <cfchartdata item="Leasing" value="30000">
        <cfchartdata item="Service" value="40000">
    </cfchartseries>
</cfchart>

Actual Result:
The chart shows a legend

Expected Result:
A chart without a legend

Any Workarounds:
If italic is not required remove the attribute entirely, but if Italic is needed there is no workarround.

I would expect that new CF Versions renders the charts as before. This is the third bug in just about an half hour I have encountered playing with CF11. Perhaps cfchart should introduce a version attribute like cfinvoke for axis to select the version of charting engine.

fontbold triggers the legend to appear too

Foregroundcolor also triggers the legend.

This isn't completely fixed in CF11 Update 3. Of <cfchart>'s 65 attributes, the "legend" attribute is the only attribute that still causes legend to be shown when showlegend="no". Repro: <cfset legend = {"shadow":true} /> <cfchart showlegend="no" legend="#legend#"> <cfchartseries type="pie"> <cfchartdata item="New car sales" value="50000"> <cfchartdata item="Used car sales" value="25000"> <cfchartdata item="Leasing" value="30000"> <cfchartdata item="Service" value="40000"> </cfchartseries> </cfchart> Thanks!, -Aaron

Hi Anuj, Thanks for creating CF-3848704. That is the only scenario where the legend is still shown when showlegend="no". The issue does not exist for the remaining 64 of <cfchart>'s 65 attributes (including fontitalic, fontbold, foregroundcolor) in the latest two CF11 Update 3 builds. Thanks!, -Aaron
