xaxis_label_gap=0}
width=988 height=290 These parameters set the width and the height of the graph window.
type=TMM This sets the type of the graph to a TooMuchMedia default graph (both line and bar graph)
plot_width=896 plot_height=240 This sets the size of the x and y axes in the graph.
plot_bgcolor=0xFFFFFF This sets the background color of the plot area.
bgcolor=0xDDDDDD This sets the background color of the graph window.
edge_color=0x000000 This sets the color of the edge of the background window.
stats=$stats[$range] This is the array that the statistics are taken from.
chart_type=TMM This sets the type of the chart to TooMuchMedia default graph
fields=joins,recurring,refunds,reversals These are the fields in the "stats" parameter that represent the statistics of the line graph shown below.
field_titles=Joins,Rebills,Refunds,Reversals These are the titles for the fields defined in the "fields" parameter.
fields_titles2=Submits, Join Hits, Raw Hits These are the titles for the fields defined in the "fields2" parameter.
fields_color0=0xffaa71 This sets the color of the join line graph.
fields_color1=0xdd8851 This sets the color of the rebills line graph.
fields_color2=0xaa0000 This sets the color of the refunds line graph.
fields2=join_submits,join_hits,impression These are the fields in the "stats" parameter that represent the statistics of the bar graph shown below.
field_color20=0x91b1d7 This sets the color of the Submits field in the bar graph.
field_color21=0x7191b7 This sets the color of the Join Hits field in the bar graph.
field_color22=0x517191 This sets the color of the Raw Hits field in the bar graph.
legend_x=45 This sets the x position of the legend
legend_y=-2 This sets the y position of the legend
left_margin=40 This is the left margin of the graph window
top_margin=26 This is the top margin of the graph window
show_legend=1 This sets whether the legend appears or not. 1 is show 0 is hide.
name=$name This sets the name of the graph.
plot_edge_color=0xe5e5e5 This sets the color for the edge of the plot.
plot_hgrid_color=0xe5e5e5 This sets the color of the horizontal grid lines.
xaxis_tick_color=0xd3dde8 This sets the color of the x axis.
yaxis_label_offset=0 This sets the offset of the y axis labels.
xaxis_label_gap=0 This sets the gap of the x axis labels.
The Smarty template function call above will display a graph that has a bar graph component and a line graph component as defined by the "fields1" and "fields2" parameters as shown below.
Notes
The reference date refers to the date that the start date and the end date (in the date range form) use as a reference point.
For example:
Setting reference_date = 'today' and start_date to 'last Thursday' will set start_date to last Thursday relative to today.
The end date uses the reference_date as a reference point in the same way.
If you wanted to show qualified hits on your graph, you would simply add "qualified" to the "fields" parameter, and "Qualified Hits" to the "field_titles" parameter.
