<effects> allows you to configure special effects for some chart series.
<pieSeries> allows you to configure special effects for the Pie charts. The following table describes the <pieSeries> attributes.
Attribute | Type or Value | Description |
---|---|---|
effect | None|Halo|Glossy|Button3D|ImageEmbossed|Moonlight | The type of effect applied to the Pie chart |
material | None|BrushedMetal1|BrushedMetal2|Water|Arabesque | The material applied to the chart texture |
depth | double | The Pie chart depth expressing a third value in unit. |
outerRadius | integer | The radius of the doughnut hole that you can set to Pie Doughnut charts only. Value range is [1, 99] . |
<effects> <pieSeries effect="Button3D" material="Water" depth="1.208"/> </effects>
The following table describes the attributes common to <barSeries>, <boxSeries>, and <waterfallSeries>.
Attribute | Type or Value | Description |

progressiveAlpha | Boolean | Specifies whether there is progressive transparency along bars |
roundedCorners | Boolean | Specifies whether bar corners are rounded |
effectWidth | double | The width ratio value for the volume effect. Value range is [0.000, 0.500] with a step of 0.01. |
colorBrighter | double | The lighting color adjustment value to apply when displaying volume effects on top of lines. Value range is [1.000, 2.000] with a step of 0.01. |
colorLessBright | double | The lighting color adjustment value applied when displaying a volume effect on bottom of lines. Value range is [0.000, 1.000] with a step of 0.01. |

The following table describes the attributes common to <lineSeries> and <radarSeries>.
Attribute | Type or Value | Description |
---|---|---|
effect | None|Volume | The type of effect applied to the chart |
width | integer | The line thickness. Value range is [0, 7]. |
spline | Boolean | Specifies whether data points are connected using cardinal spline curves (as opposed to straight lines) |
colorBrighter | double | The lighting color adjustment value to apply when displaying volume effects on top of lines. Value range is [1.000, 2.000] with a step of 0.01. |
colorLessBright | double | The lighting color adjustment value applied when displaying a volume effect on bottom of lines. Value range is [0.000, 1.000] with a step of 0.01. |
transparency | integer | The transparency factor of the area defined by the lines in the Radar charts only. Value range is [0, 55]. |
<marker> defines the symbol to display at the measure points of the chart. The following table describes the <marker> attributes.
Attribute | Type or Value | Description |
---|---|---|
visible | Boolean | Specifies whether the marker is displayed |
size | integer | The marker size. Value range is [4, 32]. |
autoResize | Boolean | Specifies whether the marker symbols are resized automatically according to the chart size |
The following table describes the <marker> children elements.
Element | Description |
---|---|
<color> | The symbol color |
<edge> | The marker border. A color or a gradient of colors can also be
defined. Attribute: type (None|Default|Override|Auto) Child Element: <color> |
<symbols> | The symbols set used as markers Child Element: <symbol> (Circle|Star|Diamond|Square) |
<effects> <lineSeries effect="Volume" width="7" spline="true" colorBrighter="1.5" colorLessBright="0.7"> <marker visible="true" size="32"> <edge type="Override"> <color alpha="255" rgb="#ff00ff"/> </edge> <symbols> <symbol>Circle</symbol> <symbol>Star</symbol> <symbol>Diamond</symbol> <symbol>Square</symbol> </symbols> </marker> </lineSeries> </effects>
The only <surfaceSeries> attribute is progressiveAlpha that specifies whether there is progressive transparency along the surface.
The following table describes the <pointSeries> attributes.
Attribute | Type or Value | Description |
---|---|---|
effect | None|Halo|Glossy|Button3D|ImageEmbossed|Moonlight | The type of effect applied to the chart |
showCenter | Boolean | Specifies whether a cross marker is displayed at the center of the symbol |
A <marker> is also defined to configure the symbol used at the measure points of the chart. See the section above for details.
<effects> <pointSeries effect="Moonlight" showCenter="false"> <marker visible="true" size="16"> <color alpha="38" rgb="#ff00ff"/> <edge type="Override"> <color alpha="181" rgb="#000000"/> </edge> <symbols> <symbol>Star</symbol> <symbol>Square</symbol> <symbol>Circle</symbol> <symbol>Diamond</symbol> </symbols> </marker> </pointSeries> </effects>
The only <mapSeries> attribute is zoneEmboss that specifies whether an embossed zone is displayed.
Combined charts can have the effects of more than one series. For example, the DualCombinedBarLine and CombinedBarLine charts combine the effects of both Bar and Line Series.
