Quite simple really, I want to display the British pound sign (£) in the yAxis title in a printed Coldfusion PNG chart.
Here's my code:
<cfchart xAxisTitle="Year" yAxisTitle="Cash Flow (£)" gridlines="6" showXGridlines="yes" showYGridlines="yes" showborder="no" format="png" seriesplacement="stacked" chartwidth="350" chartheight="200">
<cfchartseries type="bar" seriesLabel="Saving" seriescolor="##434348">
<cfset chartYear = 0>
<cfloop list="#FORM.chartSaving#" index="value">
<cfchartdata item="#chartYear#" value="#Round(value)#">
<cfset chartYear = chartYear + 1>
</cfloop>
</cfchartseries>
<cfchartseries type="bar" seriesLabel="RHI" seriescolor="##7cb5ec">
<cfset chartYear = 0>
<cfloop list="#FORM.chartRHI#" index="value">
<cfchartdata item="#chartYear#" value="#Round(value)#">
<cfset chartYear = chartYear + 1>
</cfloop>
</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>
I've tried various combinations of £ and &##163; but nothing is displaying the £ sign.
Any Ideas ?
Try using chr() with its decimal value:
<cfchart xAxisTitle="Year" yAxisTitle="Cash Flow #chr(163)#" ....>
If you want to hard code the literal £ character into the CF source file, be sure to set the file's encoding to UTF8. Otherwise, it will not be displayed correctly.
<cfprocessingDirective pageEncoding="UTF-8" />
<cfchart xAxisTitle="Year" yAxisTitle="Cash Flow (£)" ....>
