History
ColdFusion MX 6.1: Changed interpolation behavior: the tag now interpolates data points on line charts with multiple series.
ColdFusion MX: Added this tag.
Usage
If a chart has multiple line series, ColdFusion interpolates missing data points in the common X axis range. For example, if one series has data points at 0, 10, and 20 on the X axis and a second series has data points at 0, 20, and 30, ColdFusion calculates and displays a data point for X=10 on the second series line, but it does not calculate an X=30 value for the first series.
For a pie chart, ColdFusion sets pie slice colors as follows: If the seriesColor attribute is omitted, ColdFusion automatically colors the slices If the seriesColor attribute is specified, ColdFusion automatically colors the slices after the first one, starting with the specified color for the first slice If the colorList attribute is specified, ColdFusion colors the slices after the first one, according to the list ColdFusion Generates an error if you use more than 16 chartseries tags in one cfchart tag.
