Charting Settings page

The ColdFusion charting and graphing engine lets you produce highly customizable business graphics, in a variety of formats, using the cfquery tag. You use the Charting page in the Administrator to control characteristics of the engine.

The following table describes the caching and thread settings for the ColdFusion charting and graphing engine:

Option

Description

Cache Type

Set the cache type. Charts can be cached either in memory or to disk. Memory caching is faster, but more memory intensive.

Maximum number of images in cache

Specify the maximum number of charts to store in the cache. After the cache is full, if you generate a new chart, ColdFusion discards the oldest chart in the cache.

Max number of charting threads

Specify the maximum number of chart requests that can be processed concurrently. The minimum number is 1 and the maximum is 5. (Higher numbers are more memory-intensive.)

Disk cache location

When caching to disk, specify the directory in which to store the generated charts.
