Andy asks:
Dear Jedi. How can I get the legend to show up on the right of my pie chart. It seems perpetually stuck at the top. I'm using cf7 (and will upgrade to 8 in the next few months).
There is no direct way, but once again, the Chart Editor that ships with ColdFusion comes to the rescue. I loaded it up, selected a Pie chart, and edited the Legend property. I selected Right alignment, and took the generated XML. Now the XML I got had a few extra elements, but I stripped it down to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pieChart>
<legend placement="Right"/>
</pieChart>
All together, the code then is:
<cfsavecontent variable="style">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pieChart>
<legend placement="Right"/>
</pieChart>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfchart format="flash" show3d="true" style="#style#">
<cfchartseries type="pie">
<cfchartdata item="Like Pacman" value="75">
<cfchartdata item="Not like Pacman" value="25">
</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>
Here is a screen shot of the default pie chart followed by the modified one. As you can see, the colors change a bit too, but if you don't like the colors you can tweak that as well.
