Known Issues

- Also check .CHART SET BG WALLPAPR, probably has the same problem.
- * FIXED *, added API .CHART SET IMAGE PATH for user to specify path(s) for images, changed these routines to verify image file using the path.
The examples in 1CD have the path /var/www/html/ChartDirector/phpdemo hardcoded. This path can vary depending on Windows vs Linux installation. The examples should probably check the server type and use the appropriate default.

The .CHART SET SHAPE AA seems to update the memory file, but unless you also call .CHART SET TXT AA MODE, nothing gets put in the php script. Even if you call .CHART SET TXT AA MODE, the parameter for shape AA is always true, even if you turned it off via .CHART SET SHAPE AA

Even if you call .CHART SET TXT AA MODE, the parameter for shape AA is always true, even if you turned it off via .CHART SET SHAPE AA. * Fixed * - C.BASECHART was checking for Yes/No instead of On/Off (CHTSPEC BC SHAPE AA)

The .LEGEND SET ICON GAP seems to update the memory file, but unless you also call .LEGEND SET ICON SZ, nothing gets written to the php script.

The .LEGEND SET TEMPLATE causes the chart to fail to render unless you enclose the text in "'s. When generating the php script, the API should do this automatically. Fixed - was missing GOSUB :ESCAPE AND QUOTE TEXT in LEGENDBOX.SET.TEXT. Was also missing from other similar routines, added where necessary.
Setting the vertical gap via .LEGEND SET GAP:V doesn't work unless you also set the horizontal gap via .LEGEND SET GAP:H. If the horizontal gap is not set, the php script doesn't include the setKeySpacing method, which controls both horizontal & vertical.

If the horizontal gap is not set, the php script doesn't include the setKeySpacing method, which controls both horizontal & vertical. * Fixed * - if either parameter is set, the setKeySpacing method will be called, defaulting horizontal spacing to -1 if necessary.

.PIE SET LBL LAYOUT accepts 'INSIDE' as an argument to put the labels inside the sectors, but it doesn't work.
.PIE SET LBL BOUNDS (and the routines to set upper/lower individually) appear to work and the generated PHP code looks right, but it seems to have no effect on the generated chart.
The .PIE SET SECT EDGE W subroutine sets the value in the memory files, but the rendered chart doesn't look any different. Looks like when setSectorStyle code is generated, the edge width is missing. Also, if you don't also set .PIE SET SECT SHADING, the setSectorStyle code is not generated at all, even if a width was specified.

If you pass a 'data point' to .XY SET BAR CLR, funny things happen. It creates a LAYERDGP record & saves the RID. Subsequent calls to .XY SET BAR CLR with no 'data point' will just change the colour on the LAYERDGP record, which probably isn't what the designer wanted. The colours will probably not render correctly on the chart.
The .XY SET BAR LBL MIN SZ subroutine is used to set the minimum distance for a label to appear within a bar on a bar chart, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get labels inside the bar on a bar chart in the first place.
Setting custom shapes on the second data group in a multi layer bar chart does not work. The PHP code looks right, possible CD bug?

Consider renaming .LAYER ADD DATASET to something that includes TEMPLATE, since the use of 'dataset' conflicts with the use of 'dataset' when adding data points. Also consider renaming .LAYER LINK DATASET to include the word TEMPLATE.

Also consider renaming .LAYER LINK DATASET to include the word TEMPLATE. * Fixed* - added TM to end of process name. Changed work field name as well & did change all refs in 0CD/1CD.

.AXIS SET AXIS L has no effect on the length of the axis line.
.AXIS SET AXIS RND MIN and .AXIS SET AXIS RND MAX don't work unless you use both subroutines. (Sub C.XYCHART," Set axis rounded minimum & maximum IF 0CD AXISSPEC AXIS RND MIN NE AND 0CD AXISSPEC AXIS RND MAX NE". Should be an OR?) * Fixed * - changed to an OR.
Setting AXISSPEC TICK MAJ DIST and AXISSPEC TICK MIN DIST (via .AXIS SET TICK DENSITY) calls the setMinTickInc method instead of setTickDensity.
