Known Issues

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. * Fixed * - needed to call the subroutine if sector is exploded OR a distance has been set.
.PIE SET LBL DISTANCE doesn't seem to do anything. * Not a bug * - when using the 'side' layout method, you can't decrease the distance within the 'invisible retangle'.

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 colours will probably not render correctly on the chart. See B05 GRADIENT BAR SHADING example.

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. * Fixed * - added API's
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? * Fixed * - C.XYCHART was not passing the right dataset # to BARLAYER.SET.BAR.SHAPE/BARLAYER.SET.BAR.SHAPE2.
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. * Fixed* - added TM to end of process name. Changed work field name as well & did change all refs in 0CD/1CD.
