Quick Reference...

Attribute Name
Elevation / Rotation
Type Integer
Summary: Sets the viewing angle for a graph.

Description:

Elevation

The Elevation attribute sets the vertical viewing angle (in degrees) for 3D Pie graphs and True3D graphs. The setting represents an angle above or below a point halfway up the graph.

Valid settings for 3D pie graphs are integers from -30 to 60.

  • A setting of 0 tilts the pie 30 degrees. This is the default setting.
  • A setting of -30 tilts the pie 0 degrees, resulting in a 2D view from directly above the pie.
  • A setting of 60 tilts the pie 90 degrees, resulting in a 2D view of the pie's edge.

Valid settings for all other 3D graphs are integers from -60 to 90.

  • A setting of 0 sets the viewing angle halfway up the graph.
  • A setting of 90 produces a "plan" view from directly above the graph.

Rotation

The Rotation attribute sets the horizontal viewing angle (in degrees) for True3D graphs. The setting represents an angle around the base of the graph.

At Rotation settings less than -90 and greater than 90, the graph itself can't be seen--only the back of the cage is visible.

Valid settings are integers from -180 to 180 (default is 0).

  • A setting of 0 produces a face-on view.
  • A setting of -90 produces a side view from the left.
  • A setting of 90 produces a side view from the right.

Note: 3D pie charts cannot be rotated.


Remarks:

None.

Example...

<CFXGRAPHICSSERVER ... ELEVATION= "60" ROTATION="20" ... >

This would set the Elevation of the graph to 60 and the Rotation to 20.
