Serie Shadows

[Cristi S.]

Bars from bar/column charts could have a (custom) shadow, the way jqPlot offers by default. It creates the illusion of a 3D perspective.

Cheers,

Cristian,

Sorry, we don’t support charts with 3D effect as of now. But you can work-around by accessing internal-API. Please, refer this jsfiddle for the same. At the same time we can’t guarantee the backward compatibility in future versions since it’s not documented.

@vishwas thanks bro.. but one issue it doesnt work if animated :(

@kcb4444,

By giving some delay after first render of chart with animation and rendering it again along with adding shadow should work fine in this scenario. However its not possible to animate chart along with shadow. Please take a look at this updated jsfiddle.

@kcb4444,

Sorry adding shadow is not available as of now, however the previous jsfiddle shows some workarounds which may not work with every chart-type.
