Descriptive Text Settings | PopChart Server Reference 4.0.5 |
In certain circumstances, it may be desirable to generate descriptive text in a textual format instead of HTML. To do this, simply create a new AppearanceAssociation (refer to "AppearanceAssociations") for your text-only descriptive text.
You will need to set the TextOutput attribute of the AppearanceAssociation tag to true. The example tag below shows how an text-only AppearanceAssociation tag would look if it were the default Appearance Association.
<AppearanceAssociation Filename="Default" Language="EN" TextOutput="true">
This instructs PopChart Server not to process HTML entities or encode ascii characters larger than 128, as it would for HTML output. For example, > would usually be converted to the greater-than > sign, but would be left alone for text-only output.
This also instructs PopChart Server to convert escaped characters to ascii text. PopChart Server will convert the following escaped characters:
| \n | linefeed |
|---|---|
| \t | tab |
| \b | backspace |
| \r | carriage return |
| \f | form feed |
| \\ | backslash (\ character) |
For you convenience, a partially completed AppearanceAssociation element has been included at the end of the descriptive text (dlink.xml) template. To make this example useful, you would have to add Chart elements for all of the graph types.
