You'll find the wizard in your ColdFusion8/charting directory called
"webcharts.bat".

Do you mean the one in Dreamweaver? Because I've just had a look in
it, and it doesn't give me any nice simple options for changing the
orientation of labels - it only seems to give the options that are
direct attributes of the cfchart and cfchartseries tags.

On the other hand, copying your xml at least got me a change without
an error... part of the problem seems to be that the solutions I was
finding online were fragments (presumably in the erroneous assumption
that the person reading would know what they were doing!) and didn't
have the <frameChart> bit. So now at least it knows what the <xAxis>
is...

Even when I strip out most of your options, though, it still
substantially changed the look and feel of the graph. So now I need to
play with the settings to figure out how to bring it back into line
with everything else. But at least I'm closer than I was. Thanks. :)

Cheers,

Seona.
