Line Charts - Shadowing / 3D effect |

Is there a way of making a line chart look more 3D ? Im not talking about making the thickness of the line bigger, more of showing a shadow of the line behind so it makes the actual line look like its printed in front of the chart background ... hope thats clear enough !
regards,

Hey Peter,
Just curious if any future version of ChartDirector will make it easy to add shadows to line layers. such as: $linelayer->addShadowDrop();
I've followed the instructions in that thread and it did indeed work, but had a few limitations. But more importantly it really bloats the code quite a bit. I can understand it's not a simple thing to add, just wondering if it's in the works or not.
Thanks,
Andrew |

Hi Andrew,
Yes. Configurable drop shadows for chart objects is in fact in our feature list and it is a high priority feature. So it is expected to be implemented in a future version of ChartDirector.
