Function Description
Chart components in FVS include all basic and extended charts (being reclassified) built into FineReport. For details about chart types, see section "Chart Type."
Most of the setting methods of configuration items for chart components in FVS are the same as those in general reports. For differences, you can refer to section "Notes."
In FVS, you can set component interaction events, animations, and styles for chart components. For details, see documents FVS Component Interaction Attributes and FVS Component Frame Animation Attributes.
Chart Type
Create an FVS template, click the Chart icon in the component area, and click the needed chart or drag the needed chart into the canvas to add a chart component.

Chart Edit
Select a chart component and click Content to set relevant attributes of the chart. You can set these configuration items with the same methods as those in a general report. This document no longer elaborates on the setting methods.
If you are a green hand in using the chart, you can refer to the document Chart Learning Path.
Notes
Several differences exist between chart components in FVS and those in general reports.
Cell Data as Data Source
The Cell Data function in FVS charts is supported only in FineReport 11.0.20 and later versions and the FineVis Data Visualization plugin 1.18.1 and later versions.
The function formula is Component Name~Cell, for example, =Table1~A1.
To reference consecutive cells, the formula is written as =Table1~A1:C1.
To reference non-consecutive cells, the formula is written as =Table1~A1, Table1~C1, Table1~E1.
1. You can only reference data from the table component on the same page.
2. You cannot reference multiple non-consecutive cells and use hierarchical coordinate formulas.
Not Supporting Multiple Chart Switchover
Since the Type tab is not supported in FVS chart components, you cannot use the chart switchover function. Only one chart can be set in a component.
Chart Special Effect
The Monitor Refresh and Hyperlink functions are removed from Special Effect to Interaction.
The following table describes the Export Image function (in the Toolbar area) in different versions.
Report Server Version | Plugin Version | Effect |
---|---|---|
FineReport 11.0.22 and later versions | The FineVis Data Visualization plugin 2.0.1 and later versions | There is the Export Image button. You can export charts as images normally through this function. |
FineReport 11.0.22 and later versions | The FineVis Data Visualization plugin versions earlier than 2.0.1 | There is the Export Image button, but it is ineffective. |
FineReport versions earlier than 11.0.22 | The FineVis Data Visualization plugin versions earlier than 2.0.1 | There is no Export Image button. |
FineReport versions earlier than 11.0.22 | The FineVis Data Visualization plugin 2.0.1 and later versions | There is no Export Image button. |
Chart Interaction Style on Mobile Terminals
The interaction style effects for FVS charts on mobile terminals have been optimized for FineReport 11.0.27 and later versions, and the FineVis Data Visualization plugin 2.8.1 and later versions.
Interaction Style | Pre-Optimization | Post-Optimization |
Legend | The legend is always positioned below the chart. | The legend position takes effect according to the set position, consistent with PC. |
Zoom Widget | The function does not take effect on mobile terminals. | The style takes effect according to the set effect, consistent with PC. |
Prompt Style | Chart prompt text styles, borders, backgrounds, and other settings do not take effect on mobile terminals. (A white background with black text is defaulted.) | The style takes effect according to the set effect, consistent with PC. |
Animation Effect | The animation effect cannot be set and does not take effect. It can be set on mobile terminals. | The style takes effect according to the set effect, consistent with PC. |
Drilling | Drilling is supported in Series > Style for multi-layer pie charts and rectangle treemap charts, but it does not take effect on mobile terminals. | The style takes effect according to the set effect, consistent with PC. |
Not Supporting Plugin Charts
Charts (that can be added in general reports through plugin installation) cannot be directly used in FVS. You can use these charts by inserting them into table components.
