Chart measures
The measures define the data series of the bar chart and of the line / area chart: each measure is a series of bars, a line or an area. The values of each data element of the datalist are linked to the measures in the same order (the values are separated by spaces).
Parameters
The <measures> element contains one <measure> element for each data series. Elements / attributes of the measure element:
<label> (required) Name of the measure, printed in the chart legend
<id> (or <key>) Optional identifier
<format> (aliases: <valueformat>, <mask>, <valuemask>) Format mask of the values printed by the bar chart (showvalues="yes"), eg. I, F2, C0 €. See the Value formatting page.
<fillstyle> (or <fill>) Fill of the bars (bar chart) and color of the legend box (solid fill only)
<linestyle> Line style of the line (line chart) and of the area border (area chart)
<symbolstyle> Optional symbol printed on each data point of the line chart
Elements / attributes of the <symbolstyle> element:
<shape> Symbol shape: N none (default), C circle, S square
<size> (or <radius>) Symbol size, from 0 to 10 (default 2)
<linestyle> Line style of the symbol border
<fillstyle> (or <fill>) Fill of the symbol (solid fill only). When it is set, this color is also used for the legend box and for the area of the area chart (otherwise the measure fill is used).
