I'm not sure what someone was thinking when they decided to expose a limited set of attributes, along with the Designer and the .xml files, and not make terminology match up. I wonder if it would work to give us a <cfchartproperty /> tag where we > could do something like: > > <cfchartproperty > name="frameChart.xAxis.labelStyle" > attributeName="isHideOverlapped" > value="false" > /> > > Something like that could allow us to change properties/tag values of a > pre-defined stylesheet.

That would allow setting of a variable value, then placing it into the "value" of the properyty. And it avoids having a bunch of new attributes for the cfchart tag itself. What they would need, of course, is documentation, so you don't have to go through the .xml files, or the minimal info in Designer, to try to figure out what you can set. I think you should submit this as a feature request, and perhaps pass the gist of the discussion on to Tim Buntel at Macromedia. He was pretty helpful to me early in the CFMX7 charting work, when I identified what they called a feature and I called a bug. They issued a hotfix for it. I think there a few features people would use in CFCHART if they knew they > existed. More than a few, I think. Have you found a way to do that? Unfortunately, I haven't dealt with modifying bar charts yet at all. Most of the stuff I've run into has been with line charts. I just recognized that we were running into similar issues. Good luck.
