The following are release considerations
and product changes for HTML5:
- Map requests are now required to use strict JSON syntax. This means that all property and object names and all string values
must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
- If a chart request
does not contain code to place the legend in a specific position,
the chart engine chooses a default position. In older versions
of WebFOCUS, the default position was under the chart frame.
However, in WebFOCUS 8.2.x, the default position is on the right
side of the chart frame. This allows many more legend entries
to be viewed.
The chart legend position may switch from the bottom
to the right when opening a request in an 8.2.x version of InfoAssist+
that was created in earlier versions of WebFOCUS. To place the legend
back under the chart, right-click the chart legend, point to Legend Position, and click Bottom.
- The SET CURRSYMB
command, which specifies a currency symbol to be displayed with
currency values whose format specifications include the M or N display options,
is now supported for all output formats, except AHTML, APDF, and
AFLEX.
- The following JSON
properties have been deprecated and replaced in Release 8.1:
- xaxisNumeric and
xaxisOrdinal have been replaced with xaxis.
- zaxisOrdinal has
been replaced with zaxis.
- fillMode has been
replaced with fillEffect,
- pieProperties:feelerLine
has been replaced with dataLabels:feelerLine.
- yaxis:colorScale
has been replaced with colorScale.
The following JSON properties have been deprecated and replaced
in Release 8.2 Version 01:
- The data text labels properties have been changed from chart-wide
properties to series-specific properties.
- The showDataValues property has been deprecated.
- The displayMode and callback properties have been replaced by
the content property.
