Using a Fusion Chart

When a report uses a Fusion Chart, it is made within ArteMIS using Flash technology. To view charts made using Flash, you will need to install Flash Player.

Zooming into a Fusion chart

You can zoom into a chart to see more detail. This is handy if a pie chart has many narrow segments, or if a line chart has many lines that are close together.

  1. Right-click on the chart.
    The context menu will appear.

  2. Click Zoom In or Zoom Out as required.

  3. To see the entire chart, click Show All.

navigating around a zoomed-in Fusion chart

Although you can zoom into a chart, the chart remains within a fixed frame. This means that, as you zoom in, some parts of the chart will fall outside the frame and will not be visible. You can navigate around the chart by dragging that chart within the frame.

  1. Move the mouse cursor to an empty area of the chart (i.e. the white background area). The mouse cursor will change from an arrow to an open hand.

  2. Click and hold down the mouse button, and then move the mouse. This will drag the chart in the direction of the mouse movement.

Obtaining extra information form a Fusion chart

The example below shows a piece chart with the mouse cursor pointing at the blue region. The tooltip provides the date for the region, and the exact value from which the percentage was calculated.

Drilling down for further Information

Some Fusion Charts allow you to drill down to view further information. This is a handy way to view the categories of information that were used to make a particular element of the chart.

  1. Click on an element of the chart. If further information is available, it will be shown as a new chart.

  2. Click the back button of the web browser to return to the previous chart.
