I just discovered how to use the CFCHART in ColdFusion MX, and I thought it looked great,at least as compared to the old charting method supported by ColdFusion.
Then, in testing the charts in CF7, I find that the entire format for Pie Charts has been turned around, placing the legend on the top of the page, Pie chart at the bottom, and putting count numbers around the edges of the PIE. There were no longer any percentages showing anywhere, AND the numbers (counts) around the outside of the pie were overwriting each other to the point of being unintelligible, when the pie slices were small. It even lost the ability to show the pie chart in sliced mode, as opposed to solid.
Hey, the image was finer, but the loss of percentages and readable counts easily outweighs any benefit of finer dithering.
What's up with this?
Is there any alternative that will present a pie chart, sliced, with a legend that includes labels, counts, AND percentages again?
Please let me know what's out there!
