Tom, I just copied the XML out of the WebChart3D program (not necessarily what you are looking for, but perhaps good enough?) and I pasted it into the Style attribute of cfchart. After I had replaced all double quotes with single quotes and removed one of the tags that was formatting the labels with a bunch of ####'s I got it to work. I was only replicating a bar chart. I don't think that I will even be able to use this approach for the gauges that I want to use... maybe I'll have to create a SWF for that, but I digress. I had some 'success' in adding the XML directly to the style attribute.
I hope that that helps. Rob On 9/7/07, Tom McNeer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Warning -- this is going to be a bit of a thread hijacking. > > But it involves the XML discussed in this thread.
