html5 charts vs flash, after upgrade

[mcbradford]

Prior to upgrading to 4.3, I had designed some dashboards where I used the eval to combine some fields to provide me some useful information at a glance; for example...

185.25.25.25 -> 65.55.7.172, US - port:443

Prior to the upgrade, I could read the the information above, but after the upgrade, the information looks like...

185.25.25..., US-port:80

I can hover over the bar and get all the information.

I would rather have more info displayed and less graphic displayed.

Any ideas?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm assuming you're talking about the legend labels here...

Unfortunately there's no way currently to disable the truncation, I'm going to file an issue to that in. In the meantime, there are a few potential work-arounds:

1) If it would help, you can move the truncation to the beginning or end of the label. There are controls for that in the 'Legend' section of the visualization editor we added in 4.3. Or of course you can do it via XML, the property is called 'charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode' and you can set it to 'ellipsisEnd' to truncate the end of the label or 'default' to truncate the beginning.

2) You can move the legend to the top or bottom of the chart. If there are only a few labels they'll get more space than if they're on the left or right.

3) You can always switch back to the Flash renderer, see this question for more info
