Chart Data XML Structure
Given below is the XML structure of chart data, how it might appear for the Altova extension functions for charts. This affects the appearance of the specific chart. Not all elements are used for all chart kinds, e.g. the <Pie> element is ignored for bar charts.
| Note: | Chart functions are supported only in the Enterprise and Server Editions of Altova products. |
