<h3>Default Settings</h3>
{% include screenshot.html item="i284.gif" %}
<p>
The "Field Chart" link in the module navigation (found as a submenu under "Main
Settings") controls the default settings for all Field Charts you create through the
module. If you need to create a lot of similar Field Charts, this page can help cut
down on configuration time.
</p>
<p>
As with other pages in the module, as you change the content on the page, the example
visualizations are automatically updated to reflect your selections. The two
visualizations on the page contain dud data, just to give you a sense of how the
"real" visualizations will look.
</p>
<h4>Appearance</h4>
<p>
This section is where you can customize the look and feel of the visualization.
</p>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
<tbody><tr>
<td width="160" class="blue" valign="top">Chart Type</td>
<td>The type of chart. Try selecting different ones to see how they look.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="blue" valign="top">Ignore fields with empty values</td>
<td>
This setting is important to produce quality charts. If the form fields you're
visualizing isn't required, the likelihood is that it contains any number of empty
values. Graphing empty values can throw off the chart, so this setting lets you
rectify it.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="blue" valign="top">Colour</td>
<td>
This is for Bar and Column charts only. It determines the colour of the bars / columns.
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h4>Pie Chart Settings</h4>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" class="info" width="100%">
<tbody><tr>
<td width="160" class="blue" valign="top">Pie Chart Format</td>
<td>Whether you want a 2D or 3D pie chart.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="blue" valign="top">Include legend in thumbnail</td>
<td>
This setting controls whether the small thumbnail version of the visualization
which appears in the <a href="{{site.baseurl}}/modules/data_visualization/viewing/quicklinks_dialog">Quicklinks Dialog</a> should
contain a legend or not. Generally, you probably won't want to include it, because
there isn't enough space. However, if you've increased the size of the thumbnail
on the <a href="{{site.baseurl}}/modules/data_visualization/admin/main_settings">Main Settings</a> page, you may wish to include the
legend.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="blue" valign="top">Include legend in full size</td>
<td>
This determines whether or no the full size thumbnail contains the legend or not. The
full size visualization is what you see in the
<a href="{{site.baseurl}}/modules/data_visualization/viewing/quicklinks_dialog">Quicklinks Dialog</a> after clicking on a particular
visualization. It also controls the presence of the legend in visualizations loaded
through the Pages module and in pages loaded in your own pages.
