The ChartBeans chart model describes all of the details of the chart. This includes colors, labels, value delimiters, fonts, borders, tip formats, etc. The Chartbeans ChartBeans engine understands XML definitions, and XML is what you will need to populate the chart model definition file that we referenced in the action sequence. Fortunately, this is not a completely manual process.

Once you have your model definition, you will want to refer to the ChartBeans chart model Javadoc, to investigate each attribute and decide which attributes to keep, modify or delete.
Key Attributes
While you can hunt through the Javadoc to read about the chart model, many of the elements and attributes of the model are named pretty intuitively. Icluded here are soem key attributes that will speed your progress getting the chart you are looking for.
Switching the Rendering Engine
At the start of this doc, we mentioned there are two renderer implementations for ChartBeans, JFreeChart and OpenFlashChart. You can easily switch between the two renderers using the chartEngine attribute of the chartModel element. This is convenient especially when you want to quickly (and visually) determine which attributes are supported by which renderer.
If you do not specify the chartEngine attribute, the system default renderer is used.
