Views

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 33 |
This module currently supports views 1.x
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Heres a basic run down on how to use it with views:
|
| 36 |
* In the fields section, choose one or more NUMERIC fields (the module currently does a sum on these fields). The module displays one bar/pie slice per field
|
| 37 |
* Choose "FusionChart View" from the view type dropdown (under either page or block)
|
| 38 |
* Choose "FusionCharts: ChartType" from the Arguments dropdown.
|
| 39 |
* The "Default" dropdown should be set to "display all values"
|
| 40 |
* Set something in the Label field
|
| 41 |
* The "Title" field should be set to the size of the chart eg "500x300"
|
| 42 |
* The "Option" box should be set to the type of chart you want drawn.
|
| 43 |
* The "Wildcard" box can be optionally set to "sum", "average", or "mode" In the case of "mode" the counts of each unique field will be charted.
