In order to not stretch the smallest data set, you'll want to use null or missing values (-1 for text encoding, _ for simple, __ for extended). Given that the API supports null data points within a data set I assume that this behaviour is by design. Good luck, K

In your first chart looks good. With your second chart you changed the axis range but you also need to tell the API to auto-scale your data to match. Modify your CHDS parameter so it reads 50,131. When working with grid lines you need to consider the chart area as a 100x100 grid and specify

Doubling your data scaling parameter (chds=1950,2006,0,175,1950,2006,0,175) appears to fix the issue. I know that the API usually repeats parameter values as needed (if you have 4 datasets and only specify chds=0,50 it'll assume you want 0--50 on all four), but since you're specifying two

Re: Data point labels on stacked charts

Hi John, The labels on your second data set are correct--the match the data point values. The API displays your two data points on top of each other, but it won't automatically display the sum as a data point label. In order to accomplish this you'll need to add a third data set with the totals.

Re: Line chart: first data point at 0?

Setting the X-Axis range has nothing to do with the fact that the API expects text-encoded data to range from 0--100 (unless told otherwise) Add CHDS=40,60 and the API will automatically scale your data. Check out the Text encoding with data scaling section for details:

Re: data scaling per data set

Take a look at the text encoding with data scaling section of the documentation. The API assumes all text-encoded data (chd=t:) ranges from 0 to 100. You can use the CHDS parameter to specify 0--100 for your first set and 0--1.1 for your second. The format would be: chds=0,100,0,1.1 Cheers, K

Cool, now we've got a chart issue (and an easy one at that). Your CHXL parameter has an extra pipe symbol | at the end. The initial pipe is necessary, but that latter one tells the API to add room for an empty label. For example, chxl=0:| is the required part and by adding bottom|middle|top or

Hi there, The easiest way is to use Text encoding with data scaling. Using your exact data in the most basic of line charts, you get a nice chart with all of the values at the top and a few of them are even cut off because with text encoding the API expects values to range between 0 and 100.

Hi Greg, Your CHXT values are telling the API that you only want X and Y axis labels. Within your CHXL parameter, the API looks at 1: for the Y axis text and 0: for the X axis. It's ignoring 3 and 4 because there *isn't* a 3 or 4 according to your CHXT parameter. Try using: chxt=x,y,r,x Cheers,

The API (as does many server-side application logic) gets confused when you send multiple instances of the same parameter. Use a single CHM parameter to specify *all* of your markers using the pipe symbol | as a delimiter (i.e.. chm=B,E6F2FA,0,0,0|tMaximum,5A5A5A, 0,0,8,-1). Cheers, K
