Source (Advanced Chart Formatting | Jaspersoft Community)Jaspersoft HTML5 Javascript Charts are defined with default formatting. While the Ad Hoc Designer provides some basic formatting control via properties that are selected from the Chart Formatting Dialog, in some cases you may require more control over a chart's appearance. The Advanced Properties Tab is designed to let you enter formatting commands:
...
3D Charting options are not currently supported.
Property names and values are case sensitive. Incorrect casing will cause a property to be ignored.
If the Properties names or 'Values' are input incorrectly, the chart will not change.
Property | Value | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
chart.alignTicks | true or false | When using multiple axis, the ticks of two or more opposite axes will automatically be aligned by adding ticks to the axis or axes with the least ticks. This can be prevented by setting alignTicks to false. If the grid lines look messy, it's a good idea to hide them for the secondary axis by setting gridLineWidth to 0. Defaults to true. For example, value set to: false causes a chart to draw as follows: .png) | ||||||
chart.backgroundColor | "color" | Sets the back ground color of the entire chart. The color value may be a color name (such as 'Black') or a hexadecimal code enclosed in double quotes. For example, value set to: "Grey" causes a chart to draw as follows:  Notes:
| ||||||
chart.borderColor | "color" | The color of the outer chart border. Defaults to #4572A7. For example, value set to: "Green" causes a chart to draw as follows: .png) Notes:
