Title:

CHCHARTSERIES Pie Chart Attribute "datalabelstyle" Has No Effect

| View in Tracker

Status/Resolution/Reason: Closed/Fixed/

Reporter/Name(from Bugbase): Paul Mascari / Paul Mascari (Paul Mascari)

Created: 08/01/2014

Components: Charting/Graphing

Versions: 11.0

Failure Type: Cosmetic Issue

Found In Build/Fixed In Build: CF11_Final /

Priority/Frequency: Normal / All users will encounter

Locale/System: English / Win 2008 Server R2 64 bit

Vote Count: 0

Listed in the version 11.0.03.292480 Issues Fixed doc 
Problem Description: Chart Items are displayed as pie chart labels when values were specified.

Steps to Reproduce: When creating a pie chart and wishing for the chart data VALUES to be the data label enter: datalabelstyle="value" in the CFCHARTSERIES tag.

<cfchartseries type="pie" datalabelstyle="value">

Actual Result: The chart displays with the Item as the label.

Expected Result: The chart should display with the Value as the label.

Any Workarounds: Trying to use the new CF11 "data" attribute but documentation is sparse.  Haven't figured out the syntax expected there.  Could also build a text file for use in the "Style" attribute but that makes dynamically created charts cumbersome.

So....when might we see the "fix" released? Indicating a bug is fixed and then not releasing it for use is infuriating. CF11 charts are unusable in production until these issues are fixed.

Verified this is fixed in CF11 Update 3. Values, instead of items, are displayed when datalabelstyle="value". Thanks!, -Aaron

Actually, still 2 issues in CF11 Update 3 (11,0,03,292024(PreRelease)): 1) datalabelstyle="columnlabel" displays nothing in CF11 Update 3, but displays column label in CF10 2) datalabelstyle="value" does not format numbers w/ commas (CF10HF13 example: 2,345) (CF11HF3 example: 2345) ..CF11 should add the commas like CF10 did Thanks for changing datalabelstyle's default from 'columnlabel' to 'value' to be consistent w/ CF10. -Aaron

Repro for issue #1 in previous comment. Just compare CF10 (has label) vs CF11 (no label): <cfchart> <cfchartseries type="pie" datalabelstyle="columnlabel"> <cfchartdata item="one" value="1000"> <cfchartdata item="two" value="2000"> <cfchartdata item="three" value="3000"> <cfchartdata item="four" value="4000"> </cfchartseries> </cfchart> Repro for issue #2 in previous comment. Just compare CF10 (has commas) vs CF11 (no commas): <cfchart> <cfchartseries type="pie"> <cfchartdata item="one" value="1000"> <cfchartdata item="two" value="2000"> <cfchartdata item="three" value="3000"> <cfchartdata item="four" value="4000"> </cfchartseries> </cfchart>

1) datalabelstyle="columnlabel" - Have logged a separate bug for this issue: CF-3849389 2) datalabelstyle="value" does not format numbers w/ commas- We are not yet supporting labelFormat. (Comment added from ex-user id:nawani)
