Coldfusion: cfchart: clips or crops my series marker at the top of the graph

Question

I am plotting a line chart. (aka Frame chart)
My series markers are begin clipped or cropped when the value is the maximum. I have data from 0.0 to 10.0. When the value is 10, it does not show the complete marker. I really don't want to have to set the scale to 11. (make no sense as the values can never be greater than 10.0 and looks really bad)

Is there a setting in the xml style that I am missing or is there a setting on the server that will increase the plot area so this does not happen? I am using both the built in markers and custom markers but it makes no difference. Both get cut-off.

Answer 1

Have you played at all with the chart builder? Basic info here. It's been a while since I used it, but I believe you can set things like margins and padding for the chart in this. I recall it being relatively easy to use, once you get a little practice.

Answer 2

Kinda a what the ...
Although the chart is only a 2d flat line chart, change this to a 3d chart with a Zero rotation. Do this in the .xml style file either created by hand or using "webcharts.bat" to launch the chart editor and create the file. Do both items below

• Remove is3D="false" (or set to true i.e. is3D="true") as part of the "frameChart" tag. This is usual the second line of the xml file.
• and add xDepth="0" yDepth="0 to the "frame" tag. This is frequently the third line of the file.
  Note: no "is3d" and addition of "xDepth" and "yDepth".

<frameChart autoAdjust="false" font="Arial-12-bold">
  <frame xDepth="0" yDepth="0" type="None" outline="black" leftAxisPlacement="Back" isHGridVisible="false" isHStripVisible="true" >
  <background minColor="#FDFEF6"/>
</frame>
