Thanks Tom. I've got a range of about 40,000 in length, floating somwhere in the 500,000 range, but it changes, so the runtime selection of static style files isn't going to work very well.
The chart I'm looking right now has an x-range of 450,000 to 510,000, but the actual data only goes from 459,000 up to 501,000. That leaves almost a third of the chart (a sixth on each side) blank with all the data squished in the middle two thirds. Seems silly to waste that much space just to get big round x-axis labels. I was hoping to just say "start the chart at the min X and end it at the max X", rather than letting CFCHART add all that padding. But it doesn't sound like that's really doable. C'est la vie. cheers, barneyb On 12/1/06, Tom McNeer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't know if anything's different in CFMX7, but I had a conversation with > Steve Nimer at Macromedia (then) about this is earlier CFCHART days (MX 6.1, > I think).
