Do we only have access to the chart types that are contained in the chart type dropdown or are there more in the Fusion file that are not displayed? I would like to add a Gauge chart to a screen but do not see it as a selection in the chart type dropdown. I do see there is an "Other" option so that is what brings up the question. If there are additional options, where would I locate the documentation on them, if it exist?
Thanks.!!!

You can use any of the chart types in Fusion Charts XT. Our support for using names/values or database-driven data will typically only work with single-series charts, however.

But, if you use the "chart xml", "chart url", or "chart json" properties to populate the grid, you can use any Fusion component. Look in the "profoundui/proddata/charts" under your document root to see which charts are included with the product. We used to only provide a subset (though any would work if you uploaded them to the IFS) but now we support the entire Fusion Charts XT product in recent releases.

To use a chart other than the ones in the "chart type" dropdown, select "Other..,.". It will then give you the ability to type the chart type, so you can type any value you wish. For example, for a multi-series line chart, you'd click 'Other...' then type 'MSLine' in the chart type property. This will load the 'MSLine.swf' chart (you shouldn't put the .swf in the property, it will add that as needed)

You will have to build the XML yourself and feed it in using the 'chart xml' or 'chart url' property. Documentation of the Fusion Charts XML API is here:

That is exactly what I needed. Thanks Scott.!!!
