In this section we will show you how to build Combination chart using external XML file. |
Before you go further, we recommend you to see the section "Your First Chart", as we start off from the concepts explained in that page. |
Our sample XML for 2D Single Y Combination chart is given below. Here we will save our XML data as Data_combi.xml and store it inside the "src" folder. |
<chart caption='Business Results 2005 v 2006' xAxisName='Month' showValues='0' numberPrefix='$'> <categories> <dataset seriesName='2006'> <dataset seriesName='2005' renderAs='Area'> <dataset seriesName='2004' renderAs='Line'> </chart> |
Now, we will build the chart. We can do it either from the design view or source view. Here we set the value for FCChartType and FCDataURL to MSCombi2D and Data_combi.xml respectively. If you want to build the chart from source view, you can use the following code. |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> |
Now, if you run the code, you will see the following figure. |
