And so you've found the wonders of the intuitive interface of WebCharts3D Designer and its equally wonderful (lack of) meaningful documentation. <labelStyle isHideOverlapped="true" > orientation="Horizontal"/> > <titleStyle font="Arial-12-bold" isMultiline="false"/> > </xAxis> > * Change the <labelStyle /> tag's "isHideOverlapped" attribute to "false". Thanks for the hard work. It'll help me, too. I didn't know about the "isHideOverlapped" attribute, and that's obviously key. The Macromedia folks readily acknowledge that many/most of the settings available through the .xml are not accessible within the cfchart tag. The argument is that they've exposed almost 30, and they didn't want to make the tag's attributes too confusing. On the other hand, I've already run into several instances where I needed to set dynamic values for some of the non-exposed attributes -- much the way you're suggesting for the already-exposed "height" attribute. In one case, for instance, the x-axis of my chart contains date values, and the recordset used for the charting may well contain a value for each day of a given period. When a user chooses to view a 3-month span, for instance, I want the axis to show labels for individual days. But when "1 Year" is selected, I want the labels to show for a week, not a day. That can be accomplished with <xAxis type="DateTime" scaleMin="0"> [code omitted] <dateTimeStyle majorUnit="Week" /> </xAxis> But since there's no way to pass the dynamic value through, I have to switch stylesheets to switch the label units. So there are clearly many cases where one needs to create multiple stylesheets, sometimes with only a difference in a single attribute. Sorta clunky, huh? What I'm suggesting, I guess, is that we make a feature request. Either to expose certain additional attributes that we have found to be relatively common needs -- or a way, within the cfchart tag, to have some sort of passthrough attribute that could take an xml string and override matching settings within the stylesheet (which I guess is sorta what the cfchart tag attributes do).
