Displaying Complex Data in an easy and intuitive way has never been easier as FusionCharts Free is available. I really like to use it every day.

But one issue i’m missing the most: Printing HTML with FusionCharts.

Hopefully this feature will be added soon, because this is the “One and Only” limitation I know.

What I Love : If you buy the enterprise version, you get the source. Opensource FTW !

Improvement / feature I’d like : FC and ExtJS playing together. ExtJS got some charts [1], but I’m not very happy with them (even if ExtJS is a great library). Since there’s already a data->chart infrastructure [2], you could add your charts (creating your own ‘xtype’) so it will supplant the default ones easily.

Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for FC, there is no html5/canvas chart framework with these level of features on the market right now. You should think about it

Would there be a javascript/canvas fallback, it would be possible to use FusionCharts when targetting iPhone and iPad users who don’t have Flash. I think it’s becoming more and more important now that so much people use their iPhone to browse the web. It would also help for Linux or Mac users whose Flash plugin doesn’t work as well as on Windows.

A very fine product. Needs more advertisement.

FusionCharts are great. It’s a nice piece of work and many innovations. Biggest problem is the price/licence. On about 5-6 my private websites could be nice to use a few charts using FusionCharts, but… So you can improve price/licence. Maybe some separate licence for non business websites?

Ive been using FusionCharts with Coldfusion for a few months now. Been developing Custom Tags to use to help make using FusionCharts even easier to use, even though they make it pretty darn easy already.

I would like to see better option to display as an image (PNG, JPG, etc) instead of flash. They have export options, but it just seems like it could be made a little easier.

I really like Fusion charts because it’s really easy to work with, we can configure it and make a chart live in a few minutes.

The thing I would suggest to improve is a more flexible way to configure drill downs so I we can use it with some data warehouses implementations.

There is no doubt that FusionCharts is the best flash charting solution provider however there is one feature that is must have to call it a perfect flash charting & graphing application and that feature is ‘auto-resize’ facility. Fusion charts do not auto-resize according to the container. They required fixed width and height in pixels. I’d appreciate if they can implement width=”100%” so that chart’s width automatically resize to the container.
