I recently purchased CCS after trying the demo. I noted a few bugs (which I hope will be fixed soon) - but have been using CCS to build a nice intranet reporting system.
Some questions about FlashChart:
1) Range
I'd like to be able to set the range for a chart (ie a line or bar chart). I have a data set that has a bunch of values in the range of 17 to 20. FlashChart always sets the minimum at 0 for this data. What can I do to set the min to something else? Could I pass a number of the user to be the min?
2) Updates
FlashChart looks a bit dated. Is there an update planned in the near future for CCS with an improved charting function?
3) Parameters in XML that aren't in CCS
I've noticed there are some parameters in the XML for FlashChart that I can edit to change the appearance that are not in the CCS. For example, marker size. Why aren't these available?
Oh, and where can I see the beta for v5 CSS?
Thanks

Unfortunately Yes does not tell us much about their plans. I don't think anyone here knows if there is a v5 in progress or not.

As an alternative, has anyone integrated CCS with another charting tool?

If you're using PHP, jPGraph is very flexible and powerful, though
visually utilitarian.

If you have purchased a copy of CCS then you will be able to sign on to the Customer Login area ( http://www.yessoftware.com/customers/customer_login.php...&type=notLogged ) of the Yes Software site with your Serial # code. Here you might get an idea of what Yes Software might have in mind for the future as well as some other news and information.
Also, if you have questions regarding the FlashChart features try browsing around the forums and if you can't find what your looking for try directing your questions to support ( http://support.yessoftware.com/support_new.asp ).
And finally, if you don't like the FlashChart that comes with CodeChargeStudio you can always integrate another Charting Tool. There are quite a few of them available.

Thanks for the reply guys,
OK - I've logged in and saw the two screen shots. Interesting.
If Yessoftware can't tell me how to change the axis range (I've sent them a support question), then I will need to explore a replacement for the FlashChart builder.
At the moment, I'm considering Open Flash Chart:
http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart-2
Looks pretty good and it's free (unlike many others).
If someone could create a tutorial (or walk me through it), I'd like to try to integrate this with CCS.
Thanks again
