ChartDirector 6.0 (ColdFusion Edition)

3D Pyramid Chart




This example extends the Simple Pyramid Chart example by viewing the pyramid in 3D, using custom colors, inserting gaps between pyramid layers, and adding labels to both the center and the right side of the pyramid layers.

// Set the pyramid data and labels

// Set the layer colors to the given colors
c.setColors2(cd.DataColor, colors);

// Leave 1% gaps between layers
c.setLayerGap(0.01);

// Add labels at the center of the pyramid layers using Arial Bold font. The labels will show the
// percentage of the layers.

// Add labels at the right side of the pyramid layers using Arial Bold font. The labels will have
// two lines showing the layer name and value.

// Output the chart

// Include tool tip for the chart
