Known Issues

Line: 15 to 15
 
  • 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. * Fixed *. C.BASECHART was only checking the icon width field, needed to check width, height and gap to call LEGENDBOX.SET.KEY.SIZE. Changed LEGENDBOX.SET.KEY.SIZE to default width to -1 if blank.
  • 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 KEY GAP:V doesn't work unless you also set the horizontal gap via .LEGEND SET KEY GAP:H. 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 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 - possible Chart Director bug.

  • 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. * Fixed * Routine was not being called unless shading was also set. Now setting the shading, edge color or width will trigger the PHP code.
  • If you explode all the sectors in a pie chart via .PIE SET SECT POSITION then you can't adust the distance on specific sectors via .PIE SET SECT EXP DIST. The generated setExplode method does not include the distance parameter or isn't being generated for individual sectors.
  • .PIE SET LBL DISTANCE doesn't seem to do anything.

  • Attempting to set the brightness via .COLOR SET BRIGHTNESS results in a php error: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function adjustBrightness() in <whatever file> on line <whatever line>. FWIW, adjustBrightness is documented in Chart Director.
  • Attempting to set the brightness via .COLOR SET HALF COLOR results in a php error: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function halfColor() in <whatever file> on line <whatever line>. FWIW halfColor is documented in Chart Director.
  • .COLOR SET DASH LINE accepts hex values with a prefix of '0x', '#' or nothing at all, but the chart will only be rendered if the prefix is '0x'. Either improve the edits, or convert the '#' or no prefix to a '0x' prefix before updating COLRSPEC. * Fixed * - converts "#" and no prefix to CD format '0x'

  • .TEXT SET FONT SZ is supposed to accept a height & width, but only uses height to set font size in the addTitle method.
  • Setting a width via .TEXT SET FONT SZ:W and then using the text box in .CHART SET TITLE does not work.
  • Setting a height via .TEXT SET FONT SZ:H and then using the text box in .CHART SET TITLE causes the height to be used for both height and width (the height is used as a paramter on the addTitle method).

  • .TEXT SET FONT SZ is supposed to accept a height & width, but only uses height to set font size in the addTitle method. * Fixed * - In C.BASECHART the height was getting cleared before calling C.TEXTBOX ATTRIBUTES. Should only clear height if width is blank or equal to height. C.XYCHART was not calling C.TEXTBOX ATTRIBUTES for axis labels at all.
  • Setting a width via .TEXT SET FONT SZ:W and then using the text box in .CHART SET TITLE does not work. * Not a bug * - You MUST set Height, and only then can you set width. Wiki updated accordingly.
  • Setting a height via .TEXT SET FONT SZ:H and then using the text box in .CHART SET TITLE causes the height to be used for both height and width (the height is used as a paramter on the addTitle method). * Fixed * Same as .TEXT SET FONT SZ bug above.
 
  • .TEXT SET TXT MAX:H has no affect. The memory file is updated, but does not affect the rendered chart. If set via .TEXT SET TXT MAX, then it works.
  • The .TEXT SET TXT MARGIN:(T,L,B,R) subroutines apply the specified margin to all margins instead of just the one the routine is designed for. * Fixed * - the routine was trying to fill missing margins from existing margins, now substitutes -1 for missing margins.
  • When a shape is set at the Layer (XYLAYER) or Data Group (LAYERDG), it is not used when the chart is generated. Setting it at the Data Set Template (LAYERDGD) level works.
